BuddyPress.org

Ok, 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

pxlgirl.

sigh

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.

Thank 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?

If that means what I hope it does, I offer myself as a life-long fan

And can now gratefully retire from hunting where I can edit the text “Blog registration is currently disabled”

The 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.

Hey, 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

Is the hook to use this?:

user_register

Runs when a user’s profile is first created. Action function argument: user ID.

So something like this?:

<?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, based on examples in the <a href="http://www.devlounge.net">Devlounge</a> series.

*/

if (!class_exists("RealNameSynchro")) {

class RealNameSynchro {

function RealNameSynchro() { //constructor



}

function xprofile_sync_wp_profile() {

global $bp, $wpdb;



if ( (int)get_site_option( 'bp-disable-profile-sync' ) )

return true;



$fullname = xprofile_get_field_data( BP_XPROFILE_FULLNAME_FIELD_NAME, $bp->loggedin_user->id );

$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( '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?
