BuddyPress.org

There used to be the possibility to use pre-built fields to the registration form (as described here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/what-happened-to-add-prebuilt-field), which would take care of at least part of this problem. But it appears this is no longer supported for 1.2.

So I definitely support the request for the ability to add pre-built registration fields.

Ahh sorry about that!

I thought you were talking about the registration page!

Move /bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php to your child theme and adjust.

Move the /bp-themes/registration/register.php to your child theme.

Edit as needed.

check out:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/removing-blog-posts-form-the-swa-widget#post-36775

but instead of component == ‘blogs’ change it to type == ‘new_member’

then change your theme activity/index.php to remove the select option ‘show new members’

I would also like to see this filter turned off if logged in as admin, so we could administer the the spammers better –

using the above example – add before the loop

if ( is_site_admin() )

return $activities;

“would it not be possible to have certain customizable elements which each and every installation of WPMU/BP had to create whilst doing an install, e.g. the name of the pages and hooks that the sploggers exploit?”

They look for the default registration slug. You already have the ability to change it.

What recommendations are there for a captcha or a custom field creation that fits into the BP 1.2 registration process?

I have tried a few plugins but they don’t work in BP 1.2 and dont appear in the registration.

Yes, logging on and custom profiles etc are OK … but this open door approach DOES pass on a lot of janitorial work to site admins

It seems strange that there is no default to offer some basic kind of obstacle to registration in the blog registration process … it is like building a house with wide open doors.

Buddypress only adds layers on top of WPMU liabilities what with the attraction of Activity Directory and so on. It looks embarrassing to have it all advertised their by default.

I tried that but the registration form doesn’t change and all and when I click the Buddypress button in the site admin it redirects me to my homepage. The title of the plugin sounds good, but if it worked that would be better.

I have the same question

Well, yes, that would prevent the loop: the loop happens on wp-login.php, but not on /register/

Enabling registration doesn’t affect the problem. The problem’s cause is that in bp-core/bp-core-catchuri.php , function bp_core_set_uri_globals , when viewing wp-login.php, $component_index = 1 , but $bp_uri =array([0] => ‘wp-login’)

Correction on my part!! No Fail for bp_lockdown(). It Works perfectly fine in 3.0 alpha and MU 2.9.1.1 @Andrew_s1 ~ make sure you have registration enabled as that’s what’s causing your loop.

I stuck this line into function bp-lockdown, just after the global statement:

error_log(“bp->current_component='{$bp->current_component}'”);

and then viewed my /var/log/apache2/error.log

It’s fine on the registration page, “/{blog}/register/” . Here, bp->current_component contains ‘register’, as expected, so no loop

But at “/{blog}/wp-login.php” , bp->current_component is empty.

This is the same, whether I’m actually logged in, or not.

Well, i get the same trouble and it looks like i get it after update to the last buddypress-version.

/register/ redirect to the homepage. I use wpmu – latest version. Anyone how knows a solution? Thanks for help! M

Is there any way to enable the activations mails in a Single WP like in MU?

It seems to me BuddyPress supports activation only in WordPress MU.

As far as I know wpmu_activate_user is a plugin action hook. Also mentioned here. It works for my function. Not sure what you need exactly.

I use a function with something like this:

function example_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$uid = get_userdata($user_id);

$email = $uid->user_email;



$fullname = $meta[field_1];



...

update_usermeta( $user_id, 'nickname', $fullname );

...

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

From the main wordpress admin you need to go to “settings” then check the box “anyone can register”

It’s on the WordPress Settings page, the option called “Membership”.

So now what?

I sit here with a website that doesn’t allow registrations?

Something official from buddy press or WPMU needs to be written…

what do I do?

I simply did the easy things. I added yes or no questions. I put in default profile fields they would have to answer and I added a date of birth field.

What I don’t understand is right now I have registrations closed and they are still signing up.

Registration has been closed for almost an hour and I still got 8 or 9 spam accounts over the last 40 minutes.

How is that possible?

I had 110 e-mails this morning and over 60 spam accounts.

Where am I supposed to find time for this?

I looked at the bp demo site registration I don’t see much different besides the date of birth…

Thanks Windhamdavid! I was having a similar problem on my test site and this has shed some insight into whats going on
