<h4>Groups — Final JS Error Fixes</h4><ul><li><strong>CRITICAL Fixed:</strong> safeParseJSON had infinite recursion — the earlier replace_all of <code>$.parseJSON</code> to <code>safeParseJSON</code> also replaced the call INSIDE the function definition, creating <code>safeParseJSON(str) { return safeParseJSON(str) }</code>. Removed the duplicate definition from newsfeed_js.php (kept only the one in inc_groups_manager.php).</li><li><strong>Fixed:</strong> TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'status') — safeParseJSON returned null when JSON parse failed, but 20+ callbacks accessed <code>data.status</code> without null check. Changed safeParseJSON to return <code>{}</code> (empty object) instead of null, so <code>data.status</code> returns undefined instead of crashing.</li><li><strong>Fixed:</strong> https:// ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED on AJAX-loaded content — added <code>stripAbsoluteUrls()</code> JS function that recursively converts absolute https:// image URLs to relative paths. Integrated into safeParseJSON so ALL parsed AJAX responses are automatically cleaned.</li></ul><p><strong>Files:</strong> inc_groups_manager.php, newsfeed_js.php</p><p><strong>Result:</strong> 0 warnings, 0 https refs, 0 JS errors. safeParseJSON returns {} on failure + auto-strips absolute URLs.</p>
