How does your wpmu (without BP) work ?

Try this first; because registration has nothing to do with BP…

Sort of like a referral system?

I’m actually very interested in doing this too. JJJ, if the request we sent to join the BP install had a parameter like &groupid=34 then couldn’t the registration process for BP be able to handle this variable and it automatically join someone to a specific group? I ask since hopefully that variable could also be used to modify the registration page according to the group that invited them to join the BP install.

Of course, it’s all possible if you hack the core, but can the registration process be modified like this using a plugin?

I appreciate any direction someone can offer on plugins that have done something similar or which areas to look to try and make this happen.

At the moment, no… Once registered, you’re registered, that’s it…

From the sounds of it, you would need two different MU installations to pull off what you want to do. Or, if you’re talking about “groups” within BP, there is group moderation where people request to join a group, and moderators and admins can accept or reject them.

I’m unsure what you mean by this, clarify yourself a bit more.

with this,. yes: http://webdevstudios.com/support/wordpress-plugins/buddypress-registration-options/

ok,since it involves some codes and showing the diff of two files,which will be difficult to do here.I am going to put a blog post and will link here.

curious if you found a solution, bump :o)

Here’s an example of what I’m trying to accomplish using BPContents plugin to create member categories and Gigya to allow facebook and twitter registration http://www.reverbnation.com/controller/main/signup

Tried @stwc change register-slugs suggestion, zero spam registration in a week! thanks alot!

Haven’t tested this yet, but this might work:

Bug which I think has been fixed. They’ll need to ‘edit’ their profile after registrations and mysteriously things will appear…

Give people more time to see your post (and I am on a train to work, so I can’t look at this)!

For future reference –

I tried setting a default value in a multiselect box for all new users.

The member comment link doesn’t redirect immediately to the member’s profile, but it did work when I clicked ‘Save Changes’ in edit profile > even though I didn’t manually edit any content as such.

So my theory (assuming no other fix), is to direct new members to their profiles after registration. Once they’ve saved changes then all should be ok.

@Lriggle

I’d still be interested to know more about your solution above…. as well.

@Andrea_r No joy. Tried the # BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG… code and just got another bot registration “terrancecline1973” a moment ago.

I woudl definitely try turning off all plugins and see fi you get the same error, yes.

I learned when trying to override the BuddyPress widget registrations that your theme will use BOTH function.php files… the parent and child. So you may need to unregister the original function and/or use a new function name… etc.

You could do something like this instead of your normal registration function:

function activate_extension()

{

global $bp;

if( is_site_admin() )

{

$extension = new Your_Group_Extension_Class_Name;

add_action( "wp", array( &$extension, "_register" ), 2 );

}

}

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'activate_extension' );
