the \”registered\” bug it is not eternal..i don\’t remember well, but after one day since registration the date should be automatically corrected, it is such a magical thing.

For the scheduled posts, yes it\’s a pain. They don\’t appear in the site activity too: it only takes the manually published ones.

One problem:

When you try to enter the members section when you\’re not logged in, you\’re forwarded to the registration page with that fancy fade-out error message. In the address bar you\’ll have something like this:

http://mywebsite.com/register?s=1

Unfortunately when you then log in on that page, you\’ll get the error message again while you\’re getting logged in and you\’ll stay on register?s=1 where you\’ll see this message in the page:

You\’re logged in already. No need to register again!

Did I introduce mistakes in my version of the code?

Is it possible to expand this code with an \”if logged in, forward to homepage in 0 seconds\” bit of php magic?:

‘<?php

if($_REQUEST[“s”]){?>

<script type=”text/javascript”>

jQuery(document).ready(function () {

setTimeout(function(){ jQuery(“#error”).fadeOut(“slow”); }, 6000);

});

</script>

<div id=”error” class=”error”>

<h3>The page you were trying to access is for members only. Please login or register to continue.</h3>

</div>

<?php } ?>’

If that code gets too long, it is possible to turn it into an nice include or function, perhaps somehow included in bp-custom.php?

Oh, I meant to say that my current problem is I can’t get a new registration to work. I’ve posted about it at:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2184

I guess I’m just excited and eager, but stuck and I can’t do anything until I get someone’s advise who’s been through this before

Happy building

Yep, I found out the same. Doesn’t work anymore (although I saw there would be a new version of the plugin…)

Hy everyone!

I have latest trunks of wordpress mu, buddypress, bp-dev and signup-password plugin from premium.wpmudev.org.

The plugin doesn’t work. I have the password fields on my registration page but it still generates a random password on activation.

How can i make it work?

No, it doesn’t let you change any of the standard emails that a WPMU or BP site generates.

The next change I am going to make is to get a site “message” sent to new users on registration. Whilst I too need to be able to customise the emails, I’m not sure if that functionality is going to go in Welcome Pack or not. I am thinking the WPMU & BP emails need to be addressed either as patches to their respective software, or as a separate plugin that is in no way BP-specific.

This assumes, of course, that there isn’t an existing plugin out there that will do this. I haven’t searched.

It sounds to me like a bot is hitting your registration hard, and keeps attempting to refresh a page or is getting stuck on the creation reload or activation email, and is overloading the server with requests.

It’s kinda one of those situations now, where all those plugins start to muck up our ability to figure out if this is BP’s fault or not. Usually the recommended plan of attack is to disable all plugins now, try to create a test user yourself, and see what happens.

Even if you upgrade to the most recent trunk, and a bot or an unruly plugin are to blame, rather than creating tons of new tables, you’re still getting the overload of requests which is causing all sorts of havoc.

It’s realy sounds indeed like a spam bot, do you have a signup captcha ? Or, maybe indeed dissable new registrations, until the wind blows over

You disabled registration in the wpmu admin area: Site Admin > Options > Allow New Registrations with that option set to what?

1) Disabled

2) Enabled. Blogs and user accounts can be created.

3) Only user account can be created.

4) Only logged in users can create new blogs.

Now you have 4 new users on your site? If you choose option 2 or option 3 then people will still be able to register for accounts on your site.

Are you sure they are users or just people creating comments on your blog posts?

OK! I now have this in bp-custom.php:

‘<?

function js_restrict_access(){

global $bp, $bp_unfiltered_uri;

if (!is_user_logged_in() &&

(MEMBERS_SLUG == $bp_unfiltered_uri[0] ||

BP_GROUPS_SLUG == $bp->current_component ||

BP_BLOGS_SLUG == $bp->current_component)){

bp_core_redirect( get_option(‘home’) . “/register?s=1” );

}

}

add_action( ‘wp’, ‘js_restrict_access’, 3 );

?>’

And this in register.php:

‘<?php

if($_REQUEST[“s”]){?>

<script type=”text/javascript”>

jQuery(document).ready(function () {

setTimeout(function(){ jQuery(“#error”).fadeOut(“slow”); }, 6000);

});

</script>

<div id=”error” class=”error”>

<h3>The page you were trying to access is for members only. Please login or register to continue.</h3>

</div>

<?php } ?>’

Does exactly what I want. Thanks Burtadsit!

It would be even nicer if the Ajax would first show the message and then replace it with the registration form: ‘<?php bp_core_signup_do_signup() ?>’

I’ll try to figure that out next weekend…

Why don’t you just add two additional profile fields (last name & first name) , make them required so they show up on registration and then write a custom function to tweak the sign up email?

btw, this is standard across a lot of social media sites. Look at Facebook – aside from the fact that they login with email instead of username, they also have display name, first and last….just like BP can have. Make FullName your Display name.

I guess I need the exact opposite. I only want full real names in the site, if possible entered as seperate first name + last name at sign-up.

I just reinstallend WordPress MU+Buddypress and now when I sign up test users, only the user_login gets copied to the display_name field in wp_users.

How can I force it to put the real full name in display_name?

First, we need some basic information:

1. What version of WPMU and BuddyPress are you running?

Until we have that information, perhaps this thread will help: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1661#post-8547

Great, thanks.

writing down invitation codes will eat a lot of ink…

EDIT: can you configure the security question for that plugin?
