I had a good feeling about this attempt, but still nothing in wp_usermeta:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$field_ids = $meta['xprofile_field_ids'];

$field_ids = explode( ',', $field_ids );



// Loop through each bit of profile data and save it to profile.

for ( $i = 0; $i < count($field_ids); $i++ ) {

if ( empty( $field_ids[$i] ) ) continue;



$field_value = $meta["field_{$field_ids[$i]}"];

}



$fullname = $field_value['field_1'];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

This version messes up registration:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {

global $bp_user_signup_meta, $bp, $wpdb;



$fields = BP_XProfile_Field::get_signup_fields();



$field_ids = $meta['xprofile_field_ids'];

$field_ids = explode( ',', $field_ids );



// Loop through each bit of profile data and save it to profile.

for ( $i = 0; $i < count($field_ids); $i++ ) {

if ( empty( $field_ids[$i] ) ) continue;



$field_value = $meta["field_{$field_ids[$i]}"];

}



$fullname = $field_value['field_1'];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

Registration goes through as normal. The user gets one email with the activation link. But the page on the link says ‘Your account has already been activated. You can now log in with the account details that were emailed to you.’ No email arrives.

So the above code hijacks activation without doing anything (probably because $bp_user_signup_meta was added). Still nothing in wp_usermeta either.

My problem is getting the $fullname from $meta. I don’t understand the array stuff. I’m basically just guessing.

If there are any php coders out there that can spot any obvious mistakes or can suggest other things to try, please help me out.

Thanks for the additional clues DJPaul!

In the latest attempt I was going back to my first approach, trying to catch the input straight from the form, so that has to run on initial user registration, not on activation.

Or is user_register not used in Buddypress at all? Is there a wpmu or bp equivalent I could try? Should I use wpmu_create_user? According to this blog post:

the do_action for wpmu_new_user is directly at the bottom of wpmu_create_user in the wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php the wpmu_create_user gets sent the username password and email and checks if the username or email exists, if not create the new user in the database and assign a user_id to the return, also assigning capabilities and level … this happens on *all* levels of registration and is the perfect hook point to add them into the database

the do_action do_action( ‘wpmu_new_user’, $user_id ); so you get the immediate user_id soon as it’s created which you can use in your table

Apparantly this is like a flowchart of registration events in wpmu (wp-includes/wpmu-default-filters.php):

add_filter ( 'wpmu_validate_user_signup', 'signup_nonce_check' );

add_action ( 'init', 'maybe_add_existing_user_to_blog' );

add_filter ( 'xmlrpc_methods', 'attach_wpmu_xmlrpc' );

add_filter ( 'wp_authenticate_user', 'wordpressmu_authenticate_siteadmin', 10, 2 );

add_action ( 'wpmu_new_user', 'newuser_notify_siteadmin' );

add_action ( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'add_new_user_to_blog', 10, 3 );

add_action ( 'sanitize_user', 'strtolower_usernames', 10, 3 );

Should I focus on these wpmu action hooks instead of regular wp hook? Does bp have a list like this somewhere?

I couldn’t figure out how to serialize that $meta data and extract the fullname from it, so I abandoned the approach hooking into wpmu_activate_user for now. Also when I put in the $user_id and $password arguments I got the error messages about missing arguments. wtf?!

I think this bit of code grabs the input from the registration form:

$fields = BP_XProfile_Field::get_signup_fields();



if ( $fields ) {

foreach ( $fields as $field ) {



$value = $_POST['field_' . $field->id];

fullname is the input from field_1, but I don’t know how to finish the php to get to $fullname = … . The two latest attempts above did not work.

I have to give up for now. Deadline at my day job coming up…

Thanks Paul!

$meta[‘field_1’] definitely looks like something to try, although I still totally don’t “get” serialized PHP arrays.

I was also wondering if I could just bp_user_fullname() at this point, before activation.

Trying both now…

EDIT:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$fullname = $meta['field_1'];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user',  'synchro_wp_usermeta' );



?>

Registration process works fine, but I with this error in the screen on activation:

Warning: Missing argument 2 for synchro_wp_usermeta() in /serverpath/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-custom.php on line 187

I had taken $password out. Thought I didn’t need it. Will try again with it added back in….

EDIT2: Adding $password only gives me a second error:

Warning: Missing argument 2 for synchro_wp_usermeta() in /serverpath/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-custom.php on line 187

Warning: Missing argument 3 for synchro_wp_usermeta() in /serverpath/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-custom.php on line 187

Can I just take $user_id out? Is all the information I need already in that wpmu_activate_user action?

I’ll try that next, after deleting test users. Running out of email addresses…

Thanks Mike,

I have been trying to figure out how to include that in the screen that comes up after a user enters their registration details and clicks next. Would you know what I have to edit?

Actually the problem is not only with activation emails..all emails generated by buddypress (alerts about private messages etc) seem to be going to the spam folders.

i tried to delete the register.php to use the singup of wordpress but still no email for confirmation is sent!

as long as i have buddypress plugin activated, no emails are sent! what should i do or didnt have to do exactly??

im completely confused and dunno what to do! please someone help me with this issue!

Jeff,

I did what you suggested and cleared the error log. However, the registration problem is not creating any error in the error log.

After some testing I realized that if I create a user with a @gmail address, the registration verification email gets delivered without any problems. However if I register using an email on another one of my domains (however the emails are still hosted on google apps), I don’t get the activation email. I checked the spam folders but its not their either.

Please help.

Jeff, That sounds like a good idea. I am still having the registration email not reaching problem for some activations. Can I just backup and remove all old records by editing the error log or would this break something?
