BuddyPress.org

No site does this anymore. You sign up choose your password and then it sends that password in an email with a verify link. I have 153 member and 100 of them had to do the forgot password because they did not change the password and deleted the email. I changed the text in the sign up to tell them a temporary password will show and to change it asap. What file is the email text in? I want to put a reminder in that activation email to alert them to change password.

Thanks

hmmmm…I’m not using any other plugins other than buddypress and Dynamic Content Gallery in the regular plugins folder. This wasn’t an issue a few days ago, but suddenly it stopped working, and I haven’t done anything to the core.

I’m using the latest trunk version, so it’s not a bug with RC-1.

The weirdest thing about it is if I add a subdomain to the activation email…ie. community.domain.com/wp-activate.php?123456789, the domain suddenly becomes activated, and the password is given. Can’t figure out why adding the subdomain to the URL would work, but I just tested it for the heck of it and it actually worked! Now I’m even more confused…maybe I’ll just hack the core and make it send emails out with the subdomain in the link … but really, I’d love to know why that is happening…I know hacking the core isn’t the best idea

To see what exactly I’m talking about…check out the two links below and take a look at the URL in each one…both have the exact same activation keys…but only the one with the “community” subdomain shows up correctly:

Activation WITH “community” subdomain:

http://tinyurl.com/bljm5s

Activation without “community” subdomain:

http://tinyurl.com/be7m6e

HAve this so far:

<form method=”post” action=”<?php echo site_url(‘activate?key=$user_name’); ?>”>

<input type=”submit” name=”activation” value=”Activate now” />

</form>

This returns ‘incorrect activation key’ – great, on the right road.

Now in place of $user_name, I need a function, but I can’t figure out how to get it in. I thought maybe putting this in there would do the trick:

$key = @mysql_query(‘SELECT activation_key FROM wp_signups WHERE login_user=$user_name’);

Then

<form method=”post” action=”<?php echo site_url(‘activate?key=$key’); ?>”>

<input type=”submit” name=”activation” value=”Activate now” />

</form>

Don’t think the syntax is right above and neither is it in the form above, Nicolagreco or J can you lend your expertise?

Thanks very much

J, thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that just takes you back to the registration page.

I’m thinking along the lines of using the predefined ‘user_name’ which identifies the user, then the activation key is ‘activation_key’ in the MySQL DB. I need to use the ‘user_name’ to call the equivalent activation key and I think ‘&_GET’ to the activation page by having the activation key placed into a url.

Anyone have any idea how to do this or have any suggestions?

Cheers all

Can any one tell me what function I might place into the ‘action’ field for the form that finds the key and takes you to the activation page?

<form method=”post” action=”<?php echo ‘http://&#8217; . $current_site->domain . $current_site->path ?>wp-activate.php”>

<input type=”submit” name=”activation” value=”Activate now” />

</form>

This is completely wrong I know as it takes me to http://wp-activate.php!

Thanks again

I have reCAPTCHA installed and TOS with tick box, I also have the password plugin installed which seems to be working nicely so that the user can create their own password.

Thanks for confirming, I shall give this a go and see what happens!

Cheers J

Thank you DJPaul;

Then at this point what steps should we take to change the message? I assume we don’t need a plugin, but just changing the text somewhere in MU files, right? But where?

I would appreciate your response.

Thanks so much;

Hi DJPaul:

So, I created the little plugin and placed it in wp-content/mu-plugin folder.

I then went back to the “welcome” box to make the changes to the outgoing text. No changes were made. Sorry for being slow here. But these are the questions I have right now!

1) I have no idea what to do with this step you mentioned above:

“Sorry, forgot to add. Use these tokens in your update_welcome_user_email function to tell WordPress where to insert the relevant values: USERNAME PASSWORD LOGINLINK SITE_NAME”

2) After I create the file and place it in the Mu plugin, where should I go to customize my final message going to the user.

I really appreciate the help.

Thanks so much;

Hi DJPaul:

Thank you for your reply.

How do I get to “update_welcome_user_email” at the outset? Or better said, where do I begin to start these changes and filters. BP Core files? WPMU files?

Sorry, still trying to get the hang of it all:)

Thanks so much;
