Activity Item duplicated when posting new update and clicking ’Load More’

[pixelflat]

When posting a new update to the activity stream and clicking the ‘Load More’ Button, the last item in the stream will appear a second time.
This happens in all activity streams…

No need to add devs to the CC list. We all follow incoming tickets.

I'm not able to reproduce your issue on my clean installs. Can you give more information about your setup? WP/BP versions, active theme and plugins. If you're running a custom theme and a lot of plugins, try switching to BuddyPress Default and switching off plugins to see if the problem is related to one of these add-ons.

I can recreate on ​http://testbp.org/activity/. Post an update in the What's New box (via javascript), then without reloading the page, scroll down to the bottom of the activity list. Note what the last activity in the list is, then click the 'Load More' button.

OK thanks for the tip...
Well, you can reproduce it also on testbp.org
Post something into the (for example) global activity stream hit post update and click the 'Load More' button. The last activity item in the stream will appear a second time after loading more.

I'm running a online version with 1.6 and two clean local versions (1.5.5 and 1.6) and two online clean versions. All with WordPress 3.3.2. The Bug is on all sites...

My bad, I missed the part where you have to post a new update first.

This is going to be very tricky to fix, because bp_has_activities() does not take an 'offset' parameter, which we'd need to get, eg, items 4-23. We have to query in a paginated way (page 2, ie 20-39). It's an annoying issue, but not serious, as it doesn't actually hide any data. Let's have a look during the next dev cycle.

@boonebgorges But what about a little workaround? Maybe something like that:

If there is a new update then hide the last update (fade out or so)

Is this possible?

[boonebgorges]

Is this possible?

Anything is possible, but solving this in Javascript seems unwise to me. If you've got a patch to suggest, I'd be more than willing to consider including it.

Looks really hard to do.. I've got a last idea for a workaround ;) :

When posting a new item refresh just the activity stream with ajax this would reorder the items (maybe)

Any other ideas were to start?

[boonebgorges]

That's not a terrible idea, but it's a pretty big change in the way the JS currently works - so, again, it will take a lot of work to implement.

'Load More' makes a lot of problems... When using search_terms= with the activity loop and clicking the 'Load More' Button it will load also activity items without the search_term inside the content - It displays all items
Any idea?

still broken on 1.7

Already fixed in #4897.
