BuddyPress.org

Hmm…

I’ll have to revisit the user delete code, but I’m fairly certain that BuddyPress hooks into that WPMU function and clears out all the additional member info.

Are you using BP1.0.1?

When you delete a user completely from WordPress/BuddyPress, *they should* be totally deleted. WPMU has a process for this, and BuddyPress simply just hooks into it and calls the same action.

If you deleted that user only from the blog area (and not the site admin area) that could cause the situation you’re describing?

Where did you delete the user from?

If Manoj has implemented his own user registration functions, he needs to be sure he’s calling the hooks/actions that WordPress uses else Welcome Pack won’t get triggered.

I should also add – this problem will only occur if one person signs up multiple accounts on the same computer. Which is why the problem did not occur for others.

This is a persistent cookie problem introduced in 1.0.1, can you log this problem in trac please?

Hi

I had the same problem with uploading images in a new registration, i solved them out changing the permissions to 777 in wordpress-mu/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/ and turning SAFEMODE OFF.

Now, a new user can registrate and upload a photo. But… the new problem is that the uploaded photo does´nt show, a broken image is shown, in the directory wordpress-mu/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/2/ are the images but doesn’t show on my buddypress.

When i login and delete my avatar, the default avatar is shown. When i retry to upload my photo the error appears again.

Here is my url http://cororegatas.com.ar/wordpress-mu/members

what I might need to do?

My apologies for my pour english.

I`m looking forward to your reply.

Is it possible with this plugin to have the user actually choose from a preselected sub-list of what tags they want to add?

Example:

1. I create category ‘church affiliation’

2. under that category I create sub-cats like

-catholic

-lutheran

-baptist

-etc

The user then selects ‘baptist’ so the tag ‘baptist’ is added to their group/blog. Then I could create a widget to display all the groups/blogs belonging to tag ‘baptist’… that would make it really easy to sort the members.

The reason I ask about sub-cats is because I am concerned that if they put in their own tag I could end up with either misspellings etc that would end up ‘orphaning’ the group/blog from that category.

There are only a ‘short list’ of categories that I want to ‘force’ the user to choose from such as above. There are many other categories that I would like to add, where user input of the tag itself is preferred, which is obviously the way the system seems to work now.

I can see a ‘future’ where I could somehow tie the category questions to a page the user is presented with after registration like many other sites do. That way from the get go I can sort brand new groups/blogs properly.

We already have something like I describe above for the members profile itself, just curious if this would work for groups/blogs as I don’t seem to find the same type of category choices when creating a new group/blog

thanks again for such a great plugin. I can really see using this one a lot!

hi

Login to your wordpress Mu as admin.

then go to SiteAdmin->Options

Find the field “Allow new registrations” ,and select the option ” Enabled. Blogs and user accounts can be created.” and click update options.

Now logout and try registering.

I hope it should work.

Okay, I’m just thinking out loud, just going through the registration process.

As long as BuddyPress is installed and activated, is does not matter if your users register via the wp-signup.php form (which is found in WPMU) or the register.php form (which is found in BuddyPress). The extra fields from BuddyPress will show up on either form.

Here is where the data is stored:

The datum for “Full Name”, which is a required BuddyPress field, is stored in the table wp_bp_xprofile_data. The data for the “Nickname” field, which is the username if no full name is provided, the “First name” field, and “Last name” field, are stored in the table wp_usermeta. The data for “username” and “Display Name” are stored in the table wp_user.

So, here’s a question:

Did you at any point uninstall BuddyPress and delete the BP tables in MySQL? Did you delete any of the WPMU tables? Did you do either or both of these and then reinstall? If yes, did most of your students register before that time and then only those four register after a BuddyPress reinstall?

I’m just grasping at straws now. Perhaps someone else will have insight into this issue.

@Pinastro-

Please read the posts in this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2957#post-16157

Login to WPMU’s backend as site administrator. Go to “Site Admin > Options > Allow new registrations” Choose the setting you want.

i was drunk when I chose this UN

You cannot change your username, but you can change your displayed name. Maybe not a bad idea. Of course, you can also reregister.

For those of you who haven’t figured out how to get the plugin working here’s some quick details I figured out after installing this myself.

1. When you download the WPMU-Signup-Captcha from WPMUDev you’ll get three files that you’ll need to dig out of the directory structures wp-captcha.php, wp-captcha.tff, and wpmu-signup-captcha.php.

2. wpmu-signup-captcha.php belongs in wp-content/mu-plugins

3. wp-captcha.php and wp-captcha.tff are supposed to be placed in the root directory of where your wordpress MU installation is running from.

Good Luck!

Hi Pinastro! I’m a newbie here but I do know that SimpleScripts installations tend to be junkie and end up with 404 errors. It’s not that hard to install by hand — truly. Just take the instructions to install WordPress-MU, then BuddyPress, then BBPress bit by bit and it’ll be fine.

(Are you on Bluehost? I am and so I did first install with SimpleScripts and got the same errors so backed up, dropped the database tables and started over again.)

Good luck!

I like this idea, please create a ticket on this.

This would be fantastic!

I like the very simple 1-step registration process, but I don’t like the 2 confirmation emails. I just eliminated the registration process entirely and only allow facebook connect.

I think this is important. I have a very high bounce rate on my registration page. It would be nice to have it integrated with inviteFriends when they hit a 1.0 release.

The plugin DJPaul linked to alters the behavior of WPMU’s registration process which is controlled by wp-signup.php.

When using BuddyPress, you have a choice to either use WPMU’s registration script or the alternate one found in the home theme–register.php. More information in this thread

The default behavior of WPMU is for a randomly generated password to be sent to the user after they register, so unless you use a plugin for users to put their password in on registration, it is the default behavior.
