BuddyPress.org

So here is the problem and MY solution. Might not work for you.
What I’m using: WP 3.3.1, BP 1.5.4, & CIMY Extra Fields 2.3.7

I register users from my WordPress page, NOT my BuddyPress page. So not myurl.com/register BUT I AM USING myurl.com/wplogin.php?action=register

What was happening: CIMY generates a key before BuddyPress generates a key. THEN, Buddypress would send out its own email, but WordPress is looking for the CIMY key to activate the user.

Also, when BuddyPress was sending out the activation email from bp_core_filters.php, NOT bp_members_signup.php. It seems that bp_core_filters.php does not seem to have the function to activate a user, but bp_members_signup.php does.

When I would register users from my BuddyPress page instead of the WordPress page, the activate email would work just fine. The email was also being sent from bp_members_signup.php, NOT bp_core_filters.php. How do I know? I altered the email message in filters.php, but then got a different email when I registered through BuddyPress and not WordPress.

Okay. So what did I do?

bp_core_filters.php was overriding my CIMY activation email. When I disabled BuddyPress, I was able to register users through CIMY and my activation link even said ‘?cimy_key=838494040383830209’ (not a real key, obviously) and not just ‘?key=8393834929282’

Before you do this, save a clean copy of bp_core_filters.php somewhere different, so if this doesn’t work for you, you can put the old file back in without any problems.

I went into bp_core_filters.php and DELETED lines 224-255. This starts with:

?function bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification( $user, $user_email, $key, $meta ) {

$activate_url = bp_get_activation_page() . “?key=$key”;
$activate_url = esc_url($activate_url);
$admin_email = get_site_option( ‘admin_email’ );

if ( empty( $admin_email ) )
$admin_email = ‘support@’ . $_SERVER;?

Then it ends with, on line 255

?add_filter( ‘wpmu_signup_user_notification’, ‘bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification’, 1, 4 );?

Delete all code between lines 224 and 255. If you have WPMU, above that is the email function for WPMU, in lines 181-222.

Why am I using CIMY and not just extending the profile fields on BuddyPress? I needed to collect address data. It was a requirement to collect address data from the registration. But, it would then display publicly on the profile in BuddyPress. I couldn’t have that. I just wanted the data in WordPress, hidden. Thus, I’m using CIMY.

Also, I use CIMY and hide the buddypress admin bar to strangers. I use the plugin login logout and place the widget in a sidebar to direct to the correct login screen, not the buddypress login screen.

BuddyPress is running but is not handling any registration, activation, etc. But users can still use it.

I think I am close to solving the non working Email activation list, but can an experienced developer give me the answer?

This is my previous thread on the issue: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/activation-email-link-does-not-copy-codekey-into-the-box/

This is the thread many of us reported the same problem: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/wp-3-3-1-bp-1-5-4-user-activation-link-does-not-work/

Here is my problem. Activation emails do not work, even when copying and pasting the key into the activation box. I am running BP 1.5.4 and WP 3.3.1.

Scenario I have on my website: Users register on the WordPress Register page, not the BuddyPress register page.

They are sent an email, they click activate and are directed to a box to place a code even though there is no code.

I was able to alter the email that was sent out to include the key in the email. Copying and Pasting does not activate a user.

I also changed the email to include a link to the reset password page, when users hit get new password, it says they don’t exist as a user.

NOW, when I just registered from the Buddy Press register page, I got an email with a working activation link and it activated the account. I want to make note that even though I changed the email going out from the bp_core_filters.php file and I sent out modded emails before, this time the modded email content DID NOT go out. The modded email is still there in bp_core_filters.php, but the email I got was similar to the original emails. All it had was a link in it. Thus, the email that was sent out came from a different part of the BuddyPress plugin. And this email WORKS.

I need to register from the WordPress side because I’m using CIMY to collect address information that I don’t want to be part of the public BuddyPress file.

Can anyone offer insight?

Is it possible to create a 2 step signup?

Example

– First only username , email , password and name is asked.

– Second relatting to location , gender , age etc..

Would be great if the user is redirected from the activation email they receive to a page that ask for additional info before activation is 100% complete. Or any other possible way…

Don’t know if it is possible?

Nor does it provide a text code in the email to copy and paste.

Example link that was sent out to users after importing them using CIMY’s User Manager: http://mediabridges.info/activate/?key=1a3a1499d5463bcc&e=1

The key is in the link, but it doesn’t place that key into the activation box. But apparently, it very much still activates the account. Because then a user just needs to reset their password and they’re in.

I’m using WordPress 3.3.1, BuddyPress 1.5.4 and WPMU Dev’s Membership plugin.
