I’m not aware of a hook that fires on first login only. A way around that might be to add a meta key to the user’s meta on registration and then check for that on each login attempt. You’d need to remove the key after you’ve performed the check (if the key exists). If no key exists, then the user has logged in before. Just thinking out loud here… 🙂
These questions are not related to BP specifically, rather, they apply to WordPress generally. Whilst the guys here may be able to help, you may have more joy asking over at wordpress.org
The activity directory template is /buddypress/activity/index-directory.php so you will need to make sure you have that created in your theme. The Template Hierarchy article will explain everything in more detail so be sure to check that out. Then you could use the code I provided in the thread you mentioned to insert adverts in the stream.
As far as I know, unregistered users have an ID of 0. An ID is necessary to send the message so unregistered users will all be seen as the same person by BuddyPress. So to answer your question, I don’t think it’s possible
Any help about what plugins or customizations i ll have to do to make this work? (cost is not an issue)
Take a look in the WordPress Plugin Directory to see if there’s anything there that would help.
If you need any custom work done then try adding your requirements to the BP Jobs Board. There should be lots of designers and developers around that can help. Be sure to leave your contact details so that they can get in touch.
Check out the BP Disable Activation plugin. I haven’t tested, but it should still work.
Regarding activating the 310k pending accounts, I’m not sure there will be a plugin for that. The best approach would be to loop over each of the pending accounts, activating each one. Perhaps do it during a non-busy period because it might take up quite a bit of your servers resources.
Hi @netweb – do @-mentions count towards the link quota? If so, then the current maximum of 2 seems too low. Else, I agree that 2 seems perfectly reasonable for non-moderators (and that any limit at all for moderators seems unnecessary).
Can you also provide a list of the rest of the plugins you’re running? I’ve used BP, s2member and RT Media (not all together I should add) and haven’t experienced memory issues. There could be something else going on so it’s worth having a list of everything you’re running
Instead of using messages_new_message() to send a private message, you’d use bp_activity_post_update() to post an activity update. Note that the function accepts different arguments so you’ll need to amend those.
