Probably easiest if you gave these threads a quick read as they will probably answer all your concerns:

Well forums run under groups, so I guess the answer is yes.

Might not make you a lot of friends though 😉

This plugin might also be worth a look? http://epicalex.com/new-user-email-set-up/ I originally used this to get round a problem of needing to manually add some new users to the system but didn’t want emails/activations being sent out immediately. It provides two very customizable sections one sent to admin one to new user, I simply swapped it […]

Looks as though that plugin was failing possibly because it’s running before bp has loaded? at least it’s failing on any bp function that exists in header.php

But isn’t that worthy of discussing in a dedicated thread? I hear what you’re saying, is this not too some degree UI though? the API questions raised were indeed sounding like steps in the right direction especially where they touch on easing life for the presentation layer frontend developer but redefining The API doesn’t necessarily […]

Boone there is this plugin which is really for dev setups where passing emails through the dev network is awkward so allows you to register a user normally then go into backend and manually approve using the activation id WPMU Manual Member Approve: http://mattkern.com/wpmu-manually-approve-new-members-on-local-install/ Would you believe though I…[Read more]

But while waiting for Boone to code a plugin (there is one for activating signups that I’ve used on test beds, which I’ll look up when I get home) You must try and establish what has occurred kriskl, if you fear your server might have been blacklisted then it might be worth checking your domain […]

Both questions you need to investigate, if either of those are true you need to establish why otherwise you will struggle to ever grow your community, I would test ferociously the sending and receiving of emails and how your server might be configured, you may need an SPF record available so certain email servers don’t […]

Ah ok hadn’t realised that was the issue with post formatting. I would be happy to start the thread and will do when I have moment to write an introduction/prologue to qualify the purpose of the thread but equally would be more than happy and not upset if one of the older hands with BP […]

I’m having to echo all of the sentiments that were very well expressed by stwc a few posts up. I’m especially worried by the activity stream now as I find it confusing and am not sure of it’s true worth? Earlier in the thread (yes I refer to this as a thread in the classical […]

I have always had ‘Add new user’ set to disabled (on all installs and three used to test this plugin) and have no issues so think the problem lies elsewhere.

Re techguys comments above: See this is what I meant 🙂 can’t have two areas running at same time, although things have settled a fair bit some of the rational of how to use the new layout is still very confusing. Not sure where I questioned the continued running of the older forum thread though […]

Guess the two are much the same thing really at least the ‘myGroupslug’ == bp_current_item is as for the difference between bp_is_group() and bp_is_groups_component() is in this scenario I’m not too sure, I think that probably bp_is_group() would work equally well in my situation. I was more interested in seeing just how you were dealing […]

It’s the actual group name. Not really sure how you’re doing things, but if you were creating a function and using Do Action hooks to return the function to where needed could you not simply use the conditional to wrap the code / widget code in so the function returns but it’s code is only […]

It would need to be handled carefully the whole notion is kind of spammy, and I tremble at the thought of hundreds of members all deciding to mass email from my server 🙂

This works for a single group view:

if(bp_is_groups_component() && ‘MyGroupName’ == bp_current_item()):

Wow 😮 thanks 3sixty for moving it up, maybe I was being too respectful should have changed it myself 🙂

And thanks JJJ for the quick patch to #2343 Can you also look at #2293 if you’re not already.
