BuddyPress.org

Just started up Buddypress and Easy Albums. All ok except for no ability for a visitor / friend to ’register’, ’create account’ or ’sign up’ in the Members fields.

I have icons of Newest – Active and Popular but nothing for visitors to register and create profile. Currently I am the only one listed on site as a member with ability to create / edit my profile. Am I missing something obvious?
Can someone tell me where to start at getting a registration Sign up function operating?

But that’s the point about Diaspora, Diaspora is less about an actual social networking site such as might be created with BP and more about demonstrating the proof of concept that is ‘Decentralised Social Networking’, it and others are trying to find a way through to the goal of not having YOUR data ‘Owned’ by anyone but yourself. BP did much to counter the issue many had with the likes of Ning ‘Owning’ your data, but from the users point of view you are still locked into ONE site and there’s the other issue of countless accounts, logins etc with their data strewn around disparate sites, and would like to simply create one account that holds your social profile and you allow sites to access that as you wish.

There is a – apparently – small? but rising dissatisfaction with the likes of Farcebook, I don’t think Diaspora is setting out to compete with Farcebook but simply prove that decentralising is possible.

Talking of all this what ever happened to SocialRiver? trumpeted and heralded by WPMU blog as the next greatest thing , supposedly with support for BP, has that simply died? Judging by their blog it feels like it, however there has been a post recently, first since July , saying close to beta release!.

@JBo796 WP/BP versions? Have you changed theme to bp-default, deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress, cleared cache, create a test user account and then check if BP log in works?

I simply use the facebook connect. and have disabled any other form of registration or login.
and i only get 1 user unless they have multiple facebook accounts and i get the benefit of avoiding the need for any other authentication

since facebook spend millions confirming its users i get to use that development for free.

I do know however that 99.9999 % of my users will be facebook users

So when i look at yoru delema i wonder why you want to offer all those ways and in turn CREATE your own problem

Actually Bigjimmysisco, what theme are you using?

Weird coincidence, maybe we have the same weird missing JS, My custom images don’t load on crop page either.

I changed my avatar on my site for the first time and noticed this.

I will do some troubleshooting on it, because It is certainly the theme.

@boonebgorges I will create a dummy account on my site as “guest” and you can do troubleshooting on there, if you would like. maybe it will work on BJS’s theme also.

The create group function is groups_create_group(); it can be found in /bp-groups.php.

You can add checks for profile fields when a user activates their account with the “bp_core_activated_user” action, available in the bp_core_activate_signup() function (this can be found in /bp-core/bp-core-signup.php).

Hope that gives you a few pointers.

If the new user accounts that you’re trying to log in with were created after BuddyPress has been installed, have you activated those user accounts?

Users have to activate their account via email before they are listed in the admin.

Your registration is normal, there are no error messages , I created a test account.

OK, I get why you might want BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG now. My bad.

I just did a test on a local installation and registration on subsites seemed to work fine – no redirects. Maybe I’m missing something? Here’s what I did:
1) enabled BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG in wp-config.php
2) created a secondary blog and enabled bp-default on that blog
3) Visited the secondary blog as a non-logged-in user
4) Clicked on “create an account” just above the login box (example.com/subsite/register)
5) The registration page loaded correctly – no redirect to the main blog. I filled out the registration info and submitted
6) Got an activation email and successfully activated my account

Is it possible that this is a theme issue? Do the BP themes that you are using for the portals have the necessary registration templates? (registration/activate.php and registration/register.php)

Hi, I also notice this bug when I click my account -> groups -> my groups , then the creat button is display, I notice the url like: `http://site/wordpress/username/groups/`
but if I remove the username `http://site/wordpress/groups/` I can see the creat button.
Then, How to move the creat button to users page?

You’re running third party plugins how! without knowing that! please check through your plugins list and disable any you don’t know the purpose of.

Smells like a plugin….. because that is not buddypress

yeah… this is no issue with bp default theme (except for the fact that if you click “groups” in the “adminbar” you wont see the create group link).

As I’ve said adminbar is irrelevant adminbar does not have links to the groups page it does have a user account list of links and a group option for ‘My Groups’ so what you have is a modification or plugin running.

So the issue is with your child/custom theme Quite what the issue is is hard to say it’s a third party customisation, I would hazard a guess that the groups/index page if one is copied over to you child theme is not complete, running something like the template pack plugin does require additional manual steps and you might need to compare the bp-default groups index file with the one that exists in child theme and ensure that it has this pice of code sitting in the heading tag:
`  <a class="button" href="”>`

@cdragin

There is actually a rather easy way to accomplish what you want done.with s2member.

New users are redirected to the homepage upon activation of their account. Using s2member’s API/Scripting, it’s quite simple to set up a page to display different content to not-logged-in visitors and logged-in members whose subscription level=0 (free membership).

1 – Create a page and assign it to ‘Front page displays’ under ‘Settings’ > ‘Reading’. That’s your new homepage.
2 – Under ‘s2member’ > ‘API/Scripting’, go to ‘Using Simple Conditionals’ and study the example codes given. You can customize the content on your frontpage to display the PayPal buttons ONLY to registered members with a level=0. You can also set it up for incremental upgrade prompts according to the current membership level (s2member is really cool in that regard!).
3 – Under ‘s2member’ > ‘General Options > ‘Login Welcome Page’, you can redirect users to their BP profile when they login with this: http://YOUR-SITE.com/members/%%current_user_login%%/profile/

Now create your register page the way you want it, and have your users sign up in the usual way. (Perhaps include some info on that page informing them that will have the opportunity to select their membership options after activating their account.) They will be redirected to your frontpage upon activation and will then see your PayPal subscription button(s) displayed prominently, all the goodies that come with paid membership, and a hearty prompt to “pay their dues”.

Hope this helps!

So you want to let all your members have the permission of creating new blog posts?

If you want members to be able to create blog posts, but need your approval, set their account permission to “contributor”

@Mouchoirs Do a search for “Private Buddypress site” or something like that and you’ll find lots of threads on how to redirect non-logged in users to the login or registration page.

@djpaul,
Seems like you should be able to just replicate the user account creation calls on another page right? This is something I was considering doing for my project. Basically, someone could upload a list of email addresses and names, and it would create the person’s account, email them a temp password and they’d be good to go. Yes, I know WP use to do temp password and took that out, but in this case it might be useful to do.

Thanks for the heads-up, @gunju2221

If by “BuddyPress profile”, you mean the fields and groups you have configured in the xprofile settings screen, then yes it’s certainly technically possible because site admins can create new user accounts without having to complete BuddyPress profiles. I’m not sure how to practically do this, however. Would need to try and find out.

Try to see if there’s a user registration widget (i.e. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/registration-form-widget/ — not tested) and see if it works and does what you want it to do.

(To clarify, there’s no difference between a “WordPress user” and a “BuddyPress”, both are the same.)
