ParticipantPeterverkooijen: Of course, the goal is certainly *not* to disable the standard registration procedure — if that was the case, neither I would be interested in doing this. The point is to /support/ Open ID registration, not to enforce it (besides, IMO it would be against any true open ideology to do that; how is enfocring open-ness open?
)

ParticipantXevo that is another thing that would be great.. They way I thought about that issue is to give members 2 options upon registration:
1: Simple blog (like you described)
2: Advanced blog (a fully featured WordPress blog like we have currently)
And the options for admins to disable one of the two if they rather have all users to have simple/advanced blogs

And are you saying I can already implement the BP menu on al blogs with the global header plugin, without any new code being written?

KeymasterHi elemsee – great avatar!
If you disable blog registration through the wp-admin backend, where do you still see ‘create a blog’ etc options? We can create a Trac ticket to get this improved for a future version.

Participantthis is a great plugin. since I do not want anyone to create a blog with a group (so far users are only allowed to start their own group and blog registration is disabled): How could I – as admin – exclusively attach blogs to certain groups? Is there any way that only admins (of bp and not group admins) are allowed to create “group blogs”?
thanks,

ParticipantI’m struggling with a lot of spam registrations.
– a lot list country entry as random characters “Ot9XLfiFD7WNCu” Is there a way to set Country so it has to be a legit one?
– a lot come from email addresses such as “myspacee.info” “@mysace.info” Is there a way to force email confirmation … so they have to receive an email and click on a link to confirm registration?
– is there a way to mark someone as a spammer and delete them at the same time in the admin?
Sigh… I don’t have time for this so I may give up.
Would be nice if a site user can “Flag” a spam entry to disable the user.

KeymasterYou also have to secure your bbPress install from spam signups (if you have forums installed).
Things you’d want to do is disable registrations in bbPress and redirect attempted signups to WPMU’s signup page.

ParticipantOk, I sort of “solved” the problem by editing the message in /buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-signup.php. I wrote that registrations are disabled and added a link to the application form. It’s quick and dirty, but works for now

I:
— installed BP through wpmu plugin admin without any error messages.
— have not altered any directories, save for moving bp-themes to wp-content as instructed in setup instructions.
— have not touched any php files, save for bp-core-adminbar.php
— have only added the code above.
— am not using supercache.
— have cleared computer cache three times.
I’m going to have to find another solution. Maybe find the language “create a blog” and “blog registration has been disabled” and make it say something else. Thank you for your help, though.
In the meantime, can someone either a) address my original question and create a plugin (not that I’m demanding someone do work for me) or b) add something to the BP admin where you can turn off “create a blog” instances, or c) any other solution that I am clearly not well-versed enough to think of.
thanks.

ParticipantThank you, Jason. I’ve cleared my cache, as well as had two other people try this (restarting server not an option, unless my host can be asked to do so….)
Let me walk through what I’ve done:
- In wpmu site admin, “Only user account can be created” is enabled.
- Within bp-core-adminbar.php, I replaced this code:
echo '<li' . $alt . '>';
echo '<a>loggedin_user->domain . $bp->blogs->slug . '/create-a-blog">' . __('Create a Blog!', 'buddypress') . '</a>';
echo '';- With this code from the patch:
if ( bp_blog_signup_enabled() ) {
echo '<li' . $alt . '>';
echo '<a>loggedin_user->domain . $bp->blogs->slug . '/create-a-blog">' . __('Create a Blog!', 'buddypress') . '</a>';
echo '';
}- Saved and re-uploaded to buddypress/bp-core
- We created a new subscriber account to test. New user sees:
— “My Account” in admin bar, with “Create a blog” on flyout
— “You haven’t created any blogs yet, create one” on [profile] > Blogs > My Blogs
— “Blog registration is currently disabled” on [profile] > Blogs > Create a Blog
All “Create a blog” references should be gone, no?
Any obvious misstep?

KeymasterJust disable blog registrations in your Site Admin > Options panel. And please take some time to do a cursory search of Google or the WPMU forums as this is a basic question and nothing to do with Buddypress.

KeymasterAm I reading this right? Couldn’t jorrie just disable user registration?
August 8, 2009 at 3:55 am #50751In reply to: BuddyPress and wpMU, some expert advice needed
r-a-y
Keymaster1) With WPMU and a user account, you can comment on any blog (provided you’re logged in)
2) This is possible… that page is a template file, so you could customize that with whatever you want.
3) If you already have users blogging on WPMU, BuddyPress will detect these user’s blogs (I’m quite sure BP detects them!). BP groups and forums build off of WPMU’s userbase; groups being a BP thing and forums being a BP/bbPress thing. So when you install BP, your users will have to configure their groups and forums from scratch.
4) Not sure on this one. There’s an option in WPMU to disable blog registration, but if you do that I think it will disable blog registration sitewide. This would be a better question for the WPMU forums.
5) BuddyPress does indeed utilize bbPress for forum functionality. The next version of BP will make it easy to integrate with. Right now, it still requires some grunt work.
You say want a forum for each blog? That’s a little overkill… but something like this can be accomplished with groups and a BP plugin (Marius Ooms’ groupblog plugin or Burt Adsit’s BP Community Blog plugin)
6) Yes you can list all blogs on a page using a WPMU function.
Hope that helps!

ParticipantAny luck with bad behavior? I was having good success with wp-hashcash but recently found it was blocking all registrations. Even a legitimate one could never get off the wp-signup page. I finally had to disable it so people could register, and now I’m back to getting splogs again. All of them seem to be a name then numbers (angie539034). Very frustrating.

InactiveTried checking your site out but I can only see a wp-theme. Clicking registration gets me this:
http://current_site_domaincurrent_site_path/
Have you disabled it or is more things not working?

InactiveThe FB-Connect issue was successfully addressed by removing the $DIM variable from fbconnect.php. However, this no longer seems to be effective and the error message I’m receiving seems to be complaining that out of 5 variables in fbc_get_avatar(), one is missing ie;
Missing argument 5 for fbc_get_avatar()
There are 5 variables here and I’ve removed one. However, even if I replace it so that there are now “5”, I still get the same error.

ParticipantNope, Im afraid there´s not a newer version.
1.1 was coded by Andy himself, and there are no signs that it is going to be updated. He has made clear many times that its up to Buddypress community to continue with the update of Facebook connect plugin.
If I had coding skills, I would have updated it a long time ago, but I am still busy understanding how BP works ! ;-(

InactiveHey, thanks for all the great help!.
I’ve installed reCaptcha and it works good. Won’t reCaptcha interfere with Askimet though since they are both anti-spam plugins (just wondering)?.
I couldn’t find any place in the latest version of BBPress to disable new registrations. Where would I go to find this option?.
I’m still stumped on the FB-Connect error. I’m currently using version 1.1. Is there a newer version (or an easy-to-install patch available?.
Again, thanks so much, Steve

ParticipantIf you have disabled registration on your WordPress MU installation, and users are still signing up, you may have forgotten that if you are running group forums you have a bbPress installation that synchronizes users with the WordPress MU installation. Disable registration in bbPress and you should be good to go.

Participantthe fbc_get_avatar() error is from the facebook connect… it’s been addressed somewhere else in the forums. ..it’s been fixed. The spam.. the user “LnddMiles” is not just on buddypress sites, so it’s a spambot that looks for open registrations.
You should add a captcha or math problem to your registration page to divert these.

Runs when a user’s profile is first created. Action function argument: user ID.
So something like this?:

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

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

}
add_action( 'xprofile_updated_profile', 'xprofile_sync_wp_profile' );
}
} //End Class RealNameSynchro
if (class_exists("RealNameSynchro")) {
$dl_pluginSeries = new RealNameSynchro();
}
//Actions and Filters
if (isset($dl_pluginSeries)) {
//Actions
add_action('user_register', array(&$dl_pluginSeries, 'xprofile_sync_wp_profile'), 1);
//Filters
}
?>Testing it now…
Edit: Activating this plugin produces a white screen. Not a good start…

Where did I go wrong?

Participantjust noticed you commented on this thread:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/howto-disable-registration
Do I understand that it doesn’t prevent new users, it just prevents registering from the mysite/forums/registration.php process and still allows auto joining via the BP process?
Sorry, I was away camping! Yes, that’s exactly what it does.

ParticipantGood idea r-a-y! It is summer vacation now, but I will definitely include some as our users start building their profile and groups with this plugin. These are some upcoming feautures:
* Construct the group_id, this allows us to switch blogs in the group and pull in the relevant information. (done)
* Construct the reverse blog_id, this allows us to have group based loops in the blog to display members, profile, activity etc based on the group id. (done)
* Allow blog registration at group sign up, much like how you can create a blog at site registration.
* Add members silently to the blog when they become group members.
* Different role caps depending on role within the group. By default members are authors, mods are editors and admins are admins.
* Allow the admin set role caps on group roles, e.g. the group admin only want its members to be subscribers. Or editors for a wiki type solution.
* Have an option to disable silent adding of members in case the group admin only wants (or needs) the group blog be accessible by him (or her).
* Create more templates. One we have now is a simple template that creates a menu from the page titles, which allows the group to behave like a cms.
We will also offer some blog templates to help make the blog look transparent to the information you display within the group so its transition from group to blog nad vice versa is seemless.
Thanks for your interests already.

ParticipantYour right, I tried this again and it worked fine… See, what I thought was that with this code, that the display name would be grayed out completely, which I don’t think it is for Admins, but regular users might see the box empty. Currently, users can still edit their display name from the bppress profile with this code, BUT when they go to save it, the changes won’t actually take place, which is a very good thing. I understand the purpose of having a login username and a display name, which I guess is fine for security purposes. But, for old school people like me, I prefer one username and one login name combo in one.
Now, the user can still change their display name by going to the wp-profile area, and then choose which display name they want to go by. Which I guess is not that bad. But, I guess, I would still prefer to find a way to shut that off in the near future.
But, then again, WP is so picky about using duplicate e-mails. I have not found a way to allow for users to register a new account with the same e-mail address. That can be a real pain in the rear, especially if you are testing the user registration process yourself. So, that leaves users that want to change their display name in the future with the option to change it in the WP-Profile area. Although, I prefer to find a way to shut that off entirely. But, I can’t just get rid of the WP-Profile link, because it has the ability for users to change their password and so far I don’t see a way for BP to allow users to change their password in the BP areas? Unless someone knows a way to add that option in the users BP-profiles or knows a link that leads directly to the option for a user to change just their passwords?
I want to say that I am impressed that by adding this code to either its own blank .php file and placing it into the mu-plugins, that it worked so nicely. I did try it in the regular plugins directory and it did not take effect. I also had embedded it as you ‘Jeff Sayre’ had stated in the bp-themes template functions.php and that worked fine too.
I then did one more test with this. I registered a new user through the registration process, and of course the Username field comes up due to WP requesting it and the BP-Display Name field comes up due to BP requesting it. Luckily, because of the code, it didn’t matter what the user entered in the BP Display Name, it would only recognize the username from the WP Username field in the registration. Which, yes I know, they are two totally different things, but I feel more at ease that this actually worked.
Although, now users that register will be confronted with both of these questions, and I guess if they think their entering a display name for the BP-Field they will be very disappointed to find that their username will take default.
So, for now, I guess the only remedy is by changing the label ‘display name’ that BP profile uses to ‘username’. Because, although a person enters a display name in the registration part of the BP display name field, it doesn’t show up in the WP-profile area as a nickname option. Either because of the code conflicts or BP wasn’t made to do that. Not sure. OR I guess you could just relabel to inform that display names can only be changed or created in your WP-Profile area… Oh… So confusing…
My hats off to ‘Jeff Sayre’ and ‘Andy Peatling’. I truly hope that this might become an actual option in the newer bp press versions.
