BP 1.2.10 installed on two wp 3.2.1 networked sites without issue.

Congratulations on working so hard on BP 1.5. Now – if there was only a way to get the activity stream to be “real-time” …

My 3 step solution to this problem is as follows:

1. Install plugin – BuddyPress Pending Activations (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/)
2. Make hack to plugin function bp_pending_activations_admin() so that it sends an email when a user is activated:
$resendusers = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT u.ID, u.user_login, u.user_email, m.meta_value FROM ” . CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE . ” m, “. CUSTOM_USER_TABLE .” u WHERE u.ID = m.user_id AND m.meta_key = ‘activation_key’ AND u.ID IN ({$userids})” ) );

foreach ( $resendusers as $resend ) {

/* Activate the signup */
$user = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_activate_account’, bp_core_activate_signup( $resend->meta_value ) );

/* If there was errors, add a message and redirect */
if ( $user->errors ) {
echo ‘There was an error activating this account, please try again: ‘. $resend->user_login;
} else {
$to = $resend->user_email;
$subject = “Your ?????? Account Has Been Activated!”;
$message = “Your account has been activated. Go to http://??????/ and sign in with the username and password that you created when you signed up.nnWelcome to ?????!”;
$admin_email = get_site_option( “admin_email” );
$from_name = “??????????”;
$message_headers = “MIME-Version: 1.0n” . “From: “{$from_name}” n” . “Content-Type: text/plain; charset=”” . get_option( ‘blog_charset’ ) . “”n”;
wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $message_headers );
}
3. Redirect activation email to admin (to use as a noitification for admin instead of automatically sending activition key to user) by adding this to functions.php:
function change_activation_email_to($content) {
return get_site_option( “admin_email” );
}
add_filter( ‘bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_to’, ‘change_activation_email_to’);

So the when a new user signs up, they do not get any activation email. That goes to the admin instead. You will need to change the wording in your template to let the user know that they have to wait for manual approval. Admin logs in to WP admin and goes to Pending Activitations and activates the user. An email is sent to user to let them know they have been activated.

BuddyPress 1.5 has not been released in a stable version yet. We are in Release Candidate status. https://buddypress.org/2011/09/buddypress-1-5-release-candidate-1-and-buddypress-1-2-10/

Where can I upgrade from BP 1.2.10 to 1.5? WP 3.2.1 shows me version of BP 1.2.10 only.

@mercime ‘s method will work correctly. But, as of https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5124, it shouldn’t be necessary. The method that @alanchrishughes suggests should work properly. Please ensure that you’re running 1.5-rc-1, or an svn checkout of at least r5124.

Very excited for 1.5!

Counting down the days to a full public release!

Three cheers!

@idahoannie @kkradel after installing BP Template Pack plugin, you need to go through the process including imposing your active WP theme’s HTML structure onto the BP template files transferred into your WP theme’s folder in server.

If you require further assistance:
– open up your theme’s page.php file, select all and copy
– go to pastebin.com and paste the code, click on submit button
– copy the generated pastebin.com url and post here.

I’m glad to help! I’m sure some of my ideas are not the cleanest way to solve the problems, but they seem to work. And as it seems difficult to get answers to questions here sometimes, I try to help where I can.

Let me know how things go after you get a chance to try them out. Ps. the code I pointed to in that link, if it is not clear- I used it to create an ‘if’ statement.

Peace.

The functions are not new – the whole point of a framework like BuddyPress, from the beginning, has been so that you *don’t* have to reinvent the wheel

I think that for your purposes you can use `xprofile_get_field_data()`. See bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-functions.php.

That’s what `xprofile_set_field_data()` is for.

`xprofile_set_field_data( 1, $iallusersUserID, $nicename );`

No need to use $wpdb!

hum… do you know how to follow @r-a-y about this plugin? is he working on this already?
thank you all

@qrahaman yes , group fields are already working for us on that link and I got from @brajesh http://www.buddydev.com even better solution for group custom fields (maybe non paid members can’t see it) :
http://buddydev.com/forums/topic/displaying-group-custom-fields-in-group-headerphp
I didn’t have a time till now to check it out , but as soon as possible I can I will check it out and if I understood it well it should help us to display whatever we wish if group value is EMPTY.

and as far as I know @slaffik have said that his plugin in future versions will work exactly as you’ve said (at least I wish it will work like that – you’ve perfectly described my wish how slaffik’s plugin should work.)

We fixed this in BuddyPress 1.5
