BuddyPress.org

With some assistance from @r-a-y:
The bp_core_signup_user hook does something after BP has registered the user. Registering the user does not mean the user is activated yet.

I ran a test:
`function myTest() {
echo ‘fingers are crossed’; exit;
}
add_action(‘bp_core_signup_user’, ‘myTest’);`

I created a new user in the BuddyPress Add New User form. I checked the box to not send an email.

Results:
(1) add_action() interceptor did not echo and halt — not what I desired
(2) new user got an email — also, not what I desired

Any suggestions @r-a-y or other BP Guru’s? Thanks

Thank Roger,

It took a month to get a response from the developer, thus me trying to figure it out in the meantime. Their answer:

“Yes, this is in fact because i’m generating a random username for users
(since we don’t want them to use it anyway.) But you can modify the code,
which is somewhere in the gantry framework – buddypress plugin folder, and
generate it from the display name or whatever. I just wanted to make sure
there were no invalid characters in it.”

Mainly to help anyone that looks here and tries to take away that `bp_core_signup_user` is the solution…well, it isn’t.

In my plugin I simply replaced:
`add_action(‘user_register’, ‘rebuildAuthUsers’); // rebuild the authorized user list anytime a new user is created through WordPress`

with:
`add_action(‘bp_core_signup_user’, ‘rebuildAuthUsers’); // rebuild the authorized user list anytime a new user is created through BuddyPress`

It did not intercept the registration process and launch my function.

Still digging…

Can’t be done (http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/59656/how-to-make-a-discussion-group-sticky-in-buddypress).

Have posted this as a Trac entrancement request. Hopefully it will get attention there…

I have installed the Suffusion BuddyPress Pack and it works correctly on one site but not the other. I will check there too.

Awesome @aces…I think we are getting closer…Do you know where I insert <img src="http://my.BuddyPress_site.com/wp-content/themes/my-theme/images/mystery-man.jpg" /> ?

Do I place it all by itself in my functions.php file? If I do (being a PHP coder) I know a stray html tag will show that image on every page. I need to somehow wrap it around a do_action() or and add-action() or an add-filter() or an add_filters() — I believe, as I learn more about hooking in WordPress/BuddyPress.

Thanks for guiding me on what to most out there is such a simple replacement to the out-of-the-box Mystery Man image graphic.

Thanks @mercime

@aces That’s great, thanks for the quick reply.

@mercime tyvm. it worked just switching from the game portal theme to the defalt and back. It does look like I will have to make updates in the defalt first then switch back.

@ Sofian J. Anom
That might just work out perfectly, however I do have a further gui integration question for you.
With a simple WP page you have a menu bar with items on it (pages, catagories, etc) Of course those can also have sub entries below them when you mouse over them.
If I go with a multisite i be able to have a menu entry on the main site thats, lets say; ‘Buddypress’ (for lack of a better example, and then on mouseover have drop down items for ‘groups’ ‘forum’ ‘activity’ ‘friends’ etc. and clicking them takes them to the appropiate spot on the subsite?
I’ve never seen a menu item that links to a page on a subsite. If this can be done, and I can find a coding example then that’ll work perfectly for my needs.
Thanks for your input, I’ll make sure to read up on those links tomorrow.

edit: i just glanced through those pages and I have alot to read, are you aware of anyway to integrate stats across a network of WP sites onto the main one visable in the main dashboard?
