BuddyPress.org

No @henrywright. At this point, the user has just clicked on the activation link in email.

@shanebp suggested this function. It’s working but I can’t get it to return an id that I can store in a GLOBAL variable so that I can use it somewhere else on activation page with this hook:

bp_after_activate_content

Here’s the function that @shanebp suggested.

function william_bp_core_activated_user(  $user_id, $key, $user ) {
     // do something with $user_id
     // there is no return for add_action, only add_filter
};
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'william_bp_core_activated_user', 10, 3 );

I organized testing of this function.

1. System sends emails
2. New users got this emails in their mail box
3. Then they press activation links and go on home page, not activation page.
4. Then they try to enter login/pass and system tells them – Ops, error! your account didn’t activate, please see you inbox.
5. I can see they have “registered” status, but not “activated” and i need to activate them by hands.

Therefore there is something wrong while users try to confirm their address in activation email.

Thanks @modemlooper. This is doable but will the account remain deactivated as usual? The user might justchoose to ignore the second email with activation link since they can already login. What do you say? I’d like to sort of force a user to fill the second form and I don’t want them logging in if they haven’t filled the second form.

Cool, awesome, wicked.
As with everything BuddyPress over the last four months I figured it out myself.

If anybody cares or is intrigued, I pulled out the “signup_id” from the wp_signups table and created a link with that, of the form:

<?php
	//== Setup variable for use in the activation email body.
	$user = get_userdata( $user_id );

	//== Get the signup_id for a user
	global $wpdb;
	$signup_id = $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT signup_id FROM wp_signups WHERE user_login = '" . $user->user_login . "' LIMIT 1" );

	$user_path = "users.php?page=bp-signups&signup_id=" . $signup_id . "&action=activate";
	$activate_user = admin_url( $user_path );
?>

This link is a part of the filter for the activation email body, whilst the email itself was also filtered to be sent to the site admin instead of the user.

If anybody is interested I’m happy to share the full solution which involved filtering the activation email recipient, email subject and email body, whilst giving the admin a link to activate the user and then sending a confirmation email to the user once they’ve been authorised.

Found it. This action fires when the user clicks the activate link from the activation-email.

do_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', $user_id, $key, $user );

Further investigation shows that the following added to functions.php will run if the “activate” button is clicked from the wp-admin by an existing admin. It will not run from the activate link in the user activation-email.

I must be looking for a different action.

The goal is to login the user and redirect them after they have clicked the activate link from the activation-email.

add_action( 'bp_core_signup_after_activate', 'bp_autologin_on_activation', 1 );
function bp_autologin_on_activation( $signup_ids ) {
	print_r($signup_ids); die('bp_autologin_on_activation');
}

Hi danbp, thanks for your reply.
But this is not exactly the same problem that I am having.
I did read both topics but they are not really helpful for me, I still don’t know what to do now to fix this problem.

I get the activation email but when I click on that link, nothing really happens. It redirects me to my homepage. So I dont even get a message if the activation failed or succeeded.

Can someone please help me with a clear explanation what I need to do to fix this.
THANKS
