ParticipantI really do appreciate all the work you do. I’m just really frustrated with the lack of synchronization and consistency between Buddypress xprofile and WordPress users/usermeta etc. Automattic needs to take a serious look at member management.
FYI, here’s the response from the WPMU forum:
Because if a spammer signs up, for instance, and you delete their username and blogs, if their registration member is also deleted, then they can sign up again.
I’m not satisfied with that answer. There must be cleaner ways to block/blacklist spammers.
Isn’t there a plugin that deletes users more thoroughly?

KeymasterI wish I had a job writing software! You don’t want to know what I do 9 to 5, haha! el_terko is correct. Andy Peatling works for Automattic on BuddyPress. Sam Bauers develops bbPress.
The moderators on this forum are Andy and: Burt Adsit, Trent Adams, Nicola Greco, Jeff Sayre, John James Jacoby and Paul Gibbs (me!). I think we did something bad in a previous incarnation and this is punishment

July 23, 2009 at 8:26 pm #49934ParticipantOK, thanks, I’ll post the question there.
But lack of synchronization between Buddypress xprofile and WordPress wp_usermeta etc. is also causing me lots of headaches, so I hope WPMU is not going to send me back here saying that it’s a Buddypress problem. Aren’t you all part of Automattic somehow?
July 23, 2009 at 8:16 pm #49930KeymasterAsk on the WPMU boards; those aren’t BuddyPress tables.
July 23, 2009 at 7:37 pm #49929ParticipantThis plugin attempt doesn’t break anything, but still doesn’t put first_name and last_name in wp_usermeta either:
`
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Real Name Synchro
Plugin URI: http://
Version: v0.001
Author: peterverkooijen
Description: A plugin to store firstname and lastname from the fullname field in Buddypress registration in WPMU usermeta tables.
*/
function real_name_synchro() {
global $bp, $wpdb, $bp_user_signup_meta;
$fields = BP_XProfile_Field::get_signup_fields();
if ( $fields ) {
foreach ( $fields as $field ) {
$value = $_POST[‘field_’ . $field->id];
}
}
$field->id = ‘1’;
$fullname = $value;
$space = strpos( $fullname, ‘ ‘ );
if ( false === $space ) {
$firstname = $fullname;
$lastname = ”;
} else {
$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );
$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );
}
update_usermeta( $user_id, ‘nickname’, $fullname );
update_usermeta( $user_id, ‘first_name’, $firstname );
update_usermeta( $user_id, ‘last_name’, $lastname );
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d”, $fullname, $user_id ) );
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d”, bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ), $user_id ) );
}
//Actions
add_action(‘user_register’, ‘real_name_synchro’);
//Filters
?>`
Can anyone suggest fixes or am I fundamentally on the wrong track?

ParticipantAvatar support would be a very nice feature. I looked at the activity code, but couldn’t make much of it. According to the roadmap the code will change in 1.1, so we have:
Grouping of similar activities by one user within X amount of time
https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/
I really do hope there is an option in the future to liven up the activity stream in this media centered age. I’m surprised it is not included in the roadmap even up to 1.4?
Also, the roadmap also has this nice addition in store for 1.1:
Profile picture updated entry on activity streams
So it would only make sense the new profile picture would be visible in the activity stream as well, since we can’t expect members visiting each listed profile to just see the new profile picture?

Participantthis issue is also mentioned by another person at the german-language-Forum of http://www.buddypress.de
So we are not the only ones having this issue….

KeymasterOoh… good question, cozzie.
I don’t think there’s a parameter that combines both the “personal” and “friends” type.
For the avatar, I’m guessing you would need to either hack the “/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php” file or write a filter to override one of the existing ones in bp-activity, which would include the avatar.

ParticipantJust remember, when you make changes to the core code, like it appears you have, those changes will be lost the next time you upgrade BuddyPress.
That is why you should use the wp-config.php file for customizing your slugs.

ParticipantThere is some discussion about turning Manoj’s photo album plugin into an overall media manager. I’m not sure if he is actively considering this idea or not. You could contact him and find out.

ParticipantAre you using a non-english, localized version of BuddyPress? If so, this is a known bug: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/757
July 23, 2009 at 4:26 pm #49907July 23, 2009 at 3:36 pm #49901In reply to: Username and Name
ParticipantYes.
But I want only Username or only Name.
Or why not Username and Name is same.
Thank you
I still want to figure out a way to autogenerate the username from the name; full name with spaces stripped, all lower case.
I know it’s doable with simple PHP code, that I may have used before somewhere – have to dig through my older sites. But where/how could I insert that into the registration process? Would that have to be a plugin? Any pointers appreciated.

ParticipantHi, stumbled upon this thread and love the concept, as a XBOX 360 owner. Would like to keep track of where this is going. Would be a great social attribute to buddypress.
July 23, 2009 at 3:04 pm #49895In reply to: Username and Name
ParticipantThe username field is a mandatory WPMU field. It is used by WPMU as the “user_login” field of the wp_users table. It is the necessary piece of datum that is used when a user logs in.
BuddyPress has its own mandatory registration field that by default is called “Full Name”. Look in the BuddyPress submenu group in WPMU’s backend. Go to “BuddyPress > General Settings > Full Name field name”.
You can change the “Full Name” field name to display whatever you want but you cannot remove that field from the registration page nor edit it to be something other than a single textbox field–at least not without hacking the core. Look under the “Basic” field grouping in “BuddyPress > Profile Field Setup” to see what I mean.
In fact, for testbp.org, Andy did change the outputted name of that field to simply read “Name”.
It is this BuddyPress field that is used to display the user’s name. If fact, this field can be edited by the user when they visit their profile and navigate “Profile > Edit Profile”. On the other hand, the username field, which is a WPMU field, cannot be edited.

ParticipantGabriel-
and then tag the clothes (describe, tag, categorize…). We want to have some level of control here.
In case you have not seen this, there is a wonderful BuddyPress plugin that can address this need: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bpcontents/

July 23, 2009 at 1:25 pm #49884In reply to: Username and Name
ParticipantAre you using a custom theme? Have you added any required fields via the “BuddyPress > Profile Fields Setup” in WPMU’s backend?
By default, WPMU with BuddyPress installed is setup to do exactly what you are asking–have one “Username” field and one “Name” field on the signup page.

ParticipantSorry for being a little slow on this topic, but activity streams are hard to wrap my mind around, mostly because I don’t quite get the technology. Does openmicroblogging — is this a viable part of Joseph Smarr’s so-called “social stack”? (I think they’ve moved on to calling it something else now, not “social stack,” but I digress…)
I’ll be building a version of a micro stream soon enough, or trying to adapt a former one (such as the “wire”?) to suit my own purposes.
As I understand it, there’s already a bit of a WordPress plugin:
Why rebuild the wheel, when it’s built? Perhaps we should borrow/resuse from that plugin
There’s a bit of development/discussion going on over here for WordPress itself:

ParticipantUpdate 2: Well, I got somewhere. Buddypress appears to be working. The weird part is that I can’t deactivate it. When I click deactivate it says “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.” How weird is that?
I am going to run with it for now. Theme is going to need a lot of work… the fonts appear to have grown for some reason. must be a problem with my custom CSS
July 23, 2009 at 11:47 am #49876ParticipantUPDATE: I attempted to delete all my plugins (mu and normal) from my site. Once they were all deleted, I reinstalled buddypress and then reactivated all of my plugins and yet still I receive the same fatal error.
Is this a problem with 2.8.2?

ParticipantYes. I used bphome and bdmember theme from BuddyPress 1.0.3 package. (I delete old one and upload new)
Here is my instalation for test purposes:
Maybe it will help to sole my problem.
I know that problem is have to be on server side. I was installing BP at my local Wamp instalation and at Zeus Web serwer. – Works fine
Here is phpinfo http://loger.outsider.pl/phpinfo.php
