hi Arturo: activity feed ok, registration and activation email ok, widget ok.

i’m using an old italian translation, maybe i will update the localization soon.

The only thing you can’t change safely is some of the subject lines of the emails. If that’s not 100% essential to the launch of your site, I would suggest waiting for the next release of WPMU – or just running a copy from trunk.

However if you follow the link above you should be able to find out what file you need to change.

FYI https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/894#comment:3 has added a hook so we can customise the subject line of the email sent to new users (accounts) after activation.

KevinRyman: please email me. I’m only asking because I haven’t got anywhere ready to upload a file yet. Thanks.

DJPaul sign me up for testing too!

I couldn’t find any existing plugin…obviously;)

DJPaul, is it cool if I test your plugin?

DJPaul, I just saw your comments about this on mu trac. Nice find!

Email me at djpaul at gmail dot com. I’ve spent sometime shoehorning this into a “proper” plugin – it’s not complete but would appreciate it if you could test with what I’ve got so far.

life2000: Make a new file in your wp-content/mu-plugins/ folder. Call it what you want but make the extension .php.

Put this tag at the top of the file: <?php

Copy and paste the code from above underneath it

And at the bottom of the file, put this: ?>

Save it and it should work immediately. Make a new test user to see if the message changes.

There has to be an MU plugin already put together for this somewhere no? I am looking now…

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

Hi life2000

You need to write a filter to hook into the update_welcome_user_email action, like so:

add_filter('update_welcome_user_email', 'filter_newuseremail_dm', 1, 4);

If you want to send an email formatted with HTML, you also need to do this:

add_filter('wp_mail_content_type', 'newuseremail_content_type_dm', 1);

disable email activation on new sign-ups. I know it’s more of an MU specific plugin, but there are a LOT of people who could use this (including myself!)

There’s no admin bar in the login form no.

I’m not sure what email link you are referring to. After signing up a user gets an email with an activation link and then a password and then logs in with a temp password to their blog.

To get to the admin backend (dashboard) of any blog you use: myblog.mysite.com/wp-admin/ or after logging in, the user has the option of using the menu bar’s ‘my blogs’ > ‘my new blog’ ><flyout menu> ‘dashboard’

That’s also the admin area of the blog.

There isn’t a ‘bbpress bar’ that I’m aware of. There’s a buddypress bar that has a ‘my account’ menu where you can visit your profile and other options.

Lemme take a look at that area.

Yep, bp does snag the ‘wpmu_signup_user_notification’ event and doesn’t allow mu to do it’s thing. Looks like bp takes over the email to the user with the user’s activation link. Sorry, I just thought bp just added some xprofile stuff.

Wonder why it traps the email activation to the user? Gonna go look.

Hi,

Had the same problem. The I did a fresh install and used an email address on the same domain as the admin’s email: eg. site = mybp.co.za and admin email = admin@myby.co.za

In my first installs I was using my work email during installation and for some reason it would not work.

Hope this helps

Did you check your mail options settings in mu?

yourdomain.org/wp-admin/options.php

mailserver_login

mailserver_pass

mailserver_port

mailserver_url

They happy?

I’ve had a problem similar to #1. The email is actually sent but the recipient’s email server just blocks it. They never get it. It doesn’t get sent to ‘spam’ like gmail or yahoo. They just don’t get it at all.

hotmail

Right? Try complaining to Microsoft.
