Hi – just checking to see if anyone else has this working on the current version of Buddypress? I’m having some difficulty – it doesn’t seem to work – people aren’t actually joining groups even though I specified the correct field values (I think).

Anyone else? Thanks.

[Chris Houghton]

That’s brilliant thanks very much!

Hmm – strange. It mostly works. For some reason on some pages of the site something breaks:

One page would be /groups/GROUPNAME/admin/ – I get the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/smartauk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:3) in /home/smartauk/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 868

Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks

[Chris Houghton]

DONE. Thanks for your help – worked like a charm.

It took me about 5 seconds to realize how helpful that link is. Thanks!

[Chris Houghton]

You’re probably right about that….

Sorry – I’m still getting to grips with everything PHP and Buddypress – where would you add that filter?

@gregfielding – I have tried changing ‘favorite’ to ‘bookmark’, but with no luck. It’s easy enough to change it on a basic level, but it will change back to ‘favorite’ when you ‘remove bookmark’.

There’s something buried in the core files I can’t seem to find. I’ll do a new post on this.

Here we go – easier than I thought it would be to fix this.

Go to bp-core/bp-core-signup.php and find the following line:

$account_details = bp_core_validate_user_signup( $_POST['signup_username'], $_POST['signup_email'] );

Add this line directly below it:

$account_details=strtolower($account_details);

It just transforms usernames typed in multiple cases in the username field to only lowercase letters.
