BuddyPress.org

ok… so i have this working on my buddypress install (users only… no blogs)

it creates a new user and pulls as much information as it can

username => firstname

email => email

from there, I direct them to a custom “welcome” page where I explain they must update their profile information (some providers give ugly information)

example:

gmail does:

email => email

username => firstname

yahoo does:

email => email

username => RPX234562983746592745834578

even if the yahoo/gmail account has a first and last name with it, it never pulls it over when the BP account is created

I wish they could still “choose” the username that gets displayed so their profile doesnt become /members/RPX243523452345245645

we’re still working on this on our end…. hopefully we will get it to work successfully/cleanly… but for the most part, it does work
