BuddyPress.org

I stumbled upon this post suggesting a snippet to put into bp-custom.php (a tweaks and snippets file for buddy press located in the plugins directory), but I can’t get it to work. I think there is an issue with my coding.

I am using BuddyPress 2.1.1

Here is my bp-custom.php file:

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here

//Change Admin Bar Login Links
function custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu() {
    global $bp;
    global $wp;
    remove_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2);
    if (is_user_logged_in())
        return false;
    echo '<li class="bp-login no-arrow"><a data-reveal-id="tmpl_reg_login_container" href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="tmpl_login_frm();">' . __('Log In', 'buddypress') . '</a></li>';
    // Show "Sign Up" link if user registrations are allowed
    if (bp_get_signup_allowed()) {
        echo '<li class="bp-signup no-arrow"><a data-reveal-id="tmpl_reg_login_container" href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="tmpl_registretion_frm();">' . __('Sign Up', 'buddypress') . '</a></li>';
    }
}

add_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu', 1);

?>

I solved it as follows

* first buddypress probably does not support sites in non-root folders.
That means that if you have a site in localhost/somesite/wp-contents… etc it will not work

* the problem was not the alternate port :8080 in my case…

* solution was creating a virtual host (by reading http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/apache_vhosts.php , just adding rules for 8080 in my case instead of just just 80)

* after that, i went to .htaccess and changed the RewriteBase from /somesite/ to /
and the last RewriteRule . /index.php [L] from . /somesite/index.php [L]

Now it works fine as a top-level site (i used somesite.dev as the host name and use somesite.dev:8080 to access it). Registration and activation now work fine

Well, that was embarrassing.. 😀 Sorry for my stupidity.
I was searching on forums by “Disable name change” “Hide Name in registration” etc. Most answers I found were outdated, that’s why I registered to ask.

Thank you very much! I was looking for the fix for so long, but I never found one, didn’t know it was that easy.
Also, if it is possible to hide another ‘Base’ name fields.
In extended profile, there is a similar function like in Profile page.
On WordPress Dashboard, when you click Profile, there is a possibility to view Extended profile like on the page before. There is also possibility to change the name.
I also would like to hide the field Name (required), as I don’t want to push people to use their real names.
I use the plugin called Usernames only that eliminates possibility to use real names, but the problem is that people won’t like to add their real name during registration.

I found the solution Membermouse does work with Buddypress using their signup form only. But by using an additional field for registration [MM_Form_Field name=’username’]

Thanks Henry!! Your are a huge help!

ps – while I search for the social network notify members plugin, would you mind just having a quick look at this ‘list’ of our plugins I just happen to have on hand?:

From what I understand Buddypress has authority over s2member’s registration process, so even if I change things for s2member, buddypress won’t recognize it.

IS there anything I can change in buddy press to make it work?

Or

Is there a way I can give the registration authority back to s2member?

Thanks!

Lol, probs for knowing many Dutch soccer players.

Well actually, the site I’m working on has 127 members and many of them have ‘van’, ‘de’, or ‘van der’ in their last name and the sorting is almost all fine. There are a few mis matches but that’s probably our own fault due to incorrect registration in the WordPress backend.

It also goes wrong when members have a double first name but I guess that also depends on the registration in the backend. But I still have to check this.

“Buddypress Upload Avatar Ajax” upload the pics in a folder during the registration as I checked right now. But then they don’t appear in the profile. Plus, the tab associated to user profile area “change…” does not appear. What could it be? I tried with a new wordpress and theme and it works, so it must something related to my specific combination. I deactivated all the plugins besides buddypress and this one, but still, it does not work. I am afraid using super caché before or any security plugin broke my wordpress…Any idea?

Okay thank you @hnla I will get back to this form thread if there are any other issues concerning this registration issue.

@mercime Thank you for replying

I dont understand what you mean by the child theme? I am using “semplicemente” so I click that folder in FTP then do I add a new directory named “buddypress” then add a another one called “members” and then in this folder/directory I add a file named register.php and copy over all the code from

“/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php”

Is this correct? @mercime

Hi @mercime

Thank you very much for your answer.

The pending users list is empty. I will also export a list with the plugins pasting it here in a few minutes.

The problem is that I can’t replicate this issue as three of eight users faced this issue and furthermore I created many users testing registration/activation/login without facing any problem.

I use this theme:
