Activation email missing data

    I just noticed this happening on my 2 sites. Prod is on bp 1.1.3 and Dev is trunk 2161.

    The new user activation email subject line generated in bp-core-activation.php from line 118

    -> $subject = ‘[‘ . $from_name . ‘] ‘ . sprintf(__(‘Activate %s’, ‘buddypress’ ), clean_url(‘http://’ . $domain . $path));

    returns this:

    Subject: [Bugle Notes] Activate http://

    looks like %s and $domain & $path are passed in empty, if at all

    screenshot of email -> http://img.skitch.com/20091209-ppyr448duhqg4q4bjgegsxrpg6.jpg

    Hard to debug. Thoughts?

    I’m having the same problem. Sometimes the activation key is also not valid.

    I have never experienced an invalid key, so for me it’s just a cosmetic thing (and a small usability thing as the activation email looks garbled and therefore suspicious)

    A you redirecting to the buddypress pages? You shouldn’t use the standard wpmu register and activation. I remember Andy saying that he fixed this, but I guess it isn’t working like it should yet.

    Try this.

    No. The problem I describe takes place right in the middle of register.php. Additionally, I have not made a single change to those files. it’s just not populating a couple of the fields (mentioned above)

    @djpaul sorry I left some things off. wpmu 2.8.5, directory install, no custom functions that go anywhere near register.php (a few widgets that’s all), screenshot provided, no register redirects, bbPress 1.0 (no relevant), no server error logs, host is Liquidweb.

    Since this is a cosmetic issue, as you indicate above, why not simply change the subject message. It may also help make registration emails from your site look even less suspicious than they do when they contain a link.

    So, hardcode the subject message to say something like this:

    Your New Bugle Notes Account is Ready to be Activated

    @Jeff – that involves either a core hack or writing a plugin to extract the action just to solve the problem of improperly set & passed variables
