Isn’t that what this plugin will do? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-member-map/ I have it on my list of plugins to try.

[Ruth Maude]

the hack adds “the new users’ e-mail address to the e-mail with the activation link. This way you’ll know which activation link belongs to which user.” This is really needed!

Is there another line to add to functions.php that will add the email address?

Actually what we need is a plugin that creates a pending membership panel in the admin so you can go in and active or mark as spam… just like comments!

[Ruth Maude]

The /*disable blog signup for non logged in member*/ code from @sbrajesh didn’t work… it didn’t remove the create a blog from the signup page.. I got a spam blog within minutes.

ah well that’s it for this rainy Sunday afternoon…. When I get some time next I’ll start but updating to php5 and then I’ll check back with the forum. Thanks everyone!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

So all I had to do was add the following two code snippets to my /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php file and both these issues are fixed! Next step will be upgrading to php5.

/*redirect activation email to admin for approval*/
function my_redirect_activation_email()
{
return get_site_option( “admin_email” );
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_to’, ‘my_redirect_activation_email’);

/*disable blog signup for non logged in member*/
add_filter(“wpmu_active_signup”,”bpdev_check_current_users_blog”);
function bpdev_check_current_users_blog($active_signup){
global $current_user;
if( !is_user_logged_in() )
return “none”;
else
return $active_signup;//if the user is logged in, do not change the site policies
}

found it I think… wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php, line 225,

Thanks so much @r-a-y that code worked….

I’m really struggling to find my way around – I’m experienced with WP but not with WPMU or BuddyPress structure. How do I change this text?

@r-a-y I’m using WPMU

[Ruth Maude]

@r-a-y I have no idea where to begin with this…. I guess I’ll give the core hack a try

thanks

[Ruth Maude]

excuse me r-a-y what is the IRC room? could you give me a link?

[Ruth Maude]

sigh… like a number of plugins the bp-registration-options won’t activate

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /…../clubfootclub.org/community/wp-content/plugins/bp-registration-options/bp-registration-options.php on line 23

[Ruth Maude]

Thanks for your response Brajesh – I’ll check these out

for the second…. if I select only logged in users can create new blogs this also disables new user registration completely.

Yes I need to have the host upgrade to PHP5 but I have a number of sites on the account and I just don’t have time right now to do any debugging if things break right now.

thanks… I just found a new theme and installed it and I’m back – I appreciate your response I’ll look in my old theme for that line.

[Ruth Maude]

I’m struggling with a lot of spam registrations.

– a lot list country entry as random characters “Ot9XLfiFD7WNCu” Is there a way to set Country so it has to be a legit one?

– a lot come from email addresses such as “myspacee.info” “@mysace.info” Is there a way to force email confirmation … so they have to receive an email and click on a link to confirm registration?

– is there a way to mark someone as a spammer and delete them at the same time in the admin?

Sigh… I don’t have time for this so I may give up.

Would be nice if a site user can “Flag” a spam entry to disable the user.

[Ruth Maude]

Oh thanks so much Burt. I’m new to wpmu and didn’t realize ..I’ll have a go modifying the theme there.

[Ruth Maude]

Oh I fixed number one…. duh I had somehow changed allow new registrations to only logged in. number 2 and 3 are still issues

Thanks
