BuddyPress.org

Yeah I get the message “You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.” but nothing gets printed…weird. I’ve tried sticking in an exit; too and nothing.

Thanks for your reply, after reading it I’ve seen is the most adviced plugin for that aim.
Is there any live demo working or a live showcase of it?
I didn’t get if as the admin of the website I could create a page for mediapress grid album in which I’m the only one allowed to upload pics and letting all the registered members commenting on the pics, but at the same time as I said, not allowing anyone to upload their pics in that grid.
It should work like instagram but just with the buddypress accounts

Hi danbp

I’ve read through that before and it doesn’t sound so easy to me.

I’m not a PHP, BuddyPress or WordPress expert I’m afraid, so editing core files is not something I feel comfortable doing. Plus if I wanted to add an image where would I do that? That’s why I was hoping there was a way to do this using a template file as I want to do more than just change the page title.

I don’t know how to generate a .MO file and I wouldn’t know how to edit a .PO or a .MO file either or what to put in them.

If you offer any further support, that’d be great.

So far, I’ve copied this file: buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php into my child theme and edited it and added content form tips where I want them, but I’m still left with the ‘Create an Account’ text at the top that I can’t get rid of – any ideas?

OK, I’ve gone through the buddypress plugin folder and found all instances of the words ‘Create an Account’ and there is only one file in which added edits will appear on the site and it’s this file:

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-screens.php

How can I add this file to my buddy child theme so that I can make the text changes I require so that I’m not edited core plugin files?

However this doesn’t help with wanting to edit the ‘Registering for this site is easy….’ bit of text. So Can anyone help with a complete solution here?

Thanks

Yes it is. But rather than using a plugin (for this project i am nearly at 53 active plugins…too much) maybe its better to use a function.
i use this thread to ask you another question, some users (registered before i applied this plugin) named their account with a period: john.doe . Actually it’s not a big deal because buddypress (or wordpress natively) transform this dot into hyphen in each link.

On one specific page template, I have special function i created with the help of a dev to display all users by a custom taxonomy (ranks)

Only mater is that every hyperlink that link to account like john.doe are display like this http://www.website.com/members/john.doe and not http://www.website.com/members/john-doe

I search into the code and found this:

<div><?php $user = get_user_by('id', $gold ); ?><a href="<?php echo site_url();?>/members/<?php echo $user->user_login;?>/buddyblog/"><?php echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => $gold, 'type' => 'full' ) ); ?></a><a href="<?php echo site_url();?>/members/<?php echo $user->user_login;?>/buddyblog/"><?php echo $user->user_login; ?></a>Performances: <?php echo count_user_posts( $gold ); ?></div>

I must change how is display the username.

Thank you for your time and your help!

OK, this is getting close, I like it. Thank you@modemlooper, and apologies to @Henry for misunderstanding.

Some features are disabled, which is great, but a read-only account can still comment, add files to the file repository (Multiverso plugin), add a calendar event, upload photos to the photo album and edit (but not create) wiki articles.

Any clues there?

Thank you all for the help!

Okay, here’s the bizarre thing — I created a new user account and logged out to test its functionality. After I did this, I got the new_member redirect page exactly ONE TIME for every single BP page. So one time, it would prevent non-logged-in me from accessing Recent Activity, but if I tried again, it would work from here on out. I think there must be something going on with respect to how often the function is being called, and perhaps how my server is cacheing sites. Should I try placing a function call somewhere else, like in the theme or somewhere that is likely to be checked every refresh? Thank you!

I was trying to following the below guide to remove the function that initializes the login widget and then redirect it to my own new one:

http://venutip.com/content/right-way-override-theme-functions

Obviously hasn’t worked. Any ideas ?

I have already created an admin account and one I use for the front end. I just don’t want the admin account showing up in the list of users with people sending it friend requests, etc. I’d like to keep it uncluttered so when I’m in that account I can just focus on admin work.

Thank you for your reply @danbp.

I actually created the profile field myself in Dashboard > Users > Profile Fields to emulate a captcha plugin. For some odd reason it appears under Account Details instead of under Profile Details on the Register page and is missing from the backend so I am unable to edit/delete it.
