    Roger that fn I wrote was 3 months old. Things have changed in bp. All you need to do is add a filter to change the logo now.

    see: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1969&replies=2#post-10463

    Sorry for the late reponse. Your post got ‘spammed’ by akismet because of number of links in the post. The plugins in /mu-plugins don’t need a plugin header like that. Your code will translate better in the forums with backticks before and after.

    Having thought about it more – my vote would be another blog on this site.

    For a few reasons:

    1. People can use the same login, and therefore comment without being spammed or moderated.

    2. We can promote regular BuddyPress community members to \”snippit creator\” status.

    3. We can track all the snippets in activity streams.

    4. We get nice buddypress.org permalinks for every snippet.

    5. RSS.

    Let me try and answer this diplomatically because this seems like spam without being spam to me…

    BuddyPress isn’t Facebook, and it really doesn’t have any intentions of trying to imitate it. That’s up to an audience of GPL contributors to try and mold and shape it into that, if they so choose.

    BuddyPress also has a test development site already, to flex its muscles and allow people to use it as they like. testbp.org.

    There are unlimited domains available, with unlimited hosting and bandwidth options. None of what you’re offering really has anything to do with BuddyPress other than using it for potential profit. Contributing a domain that specializes in spreading bad news isn’t any part of Automattic’s roadmap that I’ve seen, so don’t count on getting any hosting.

    If what you’re doing is offering a business opportunity to specific individuals, you should contact them privately and see if they’re interested.

    (I’m locking this for now. If any other staff feels like re-opening it for discussion, go for it. My gut tells me this isn’t what the forums here are for.)

    @Jeff Sayre – Will it be safe to have latest SVN version on production site? I am not sure about it so asking..

    For now, I am going to export the online DB to my local machine and see if it makes a difference or not.. (if the tables are not automatically getting created that means, the issue is with the spam bots else the issue is with something else)

    I will post updates in a while..

    There was a recent change (Changeset 1295) to bp-blogs.php that stopped spam comments from being recorded in activity streams.

    As Burt points out, newer versions of BP no longer have individual user activity tables, but I suppose this bug combined with an older version of BP could expose you to significant spam problems. I cannot verify this without looking at the older code. It is just a hunch.

    I would recommend taking your site offline (if in production) and then upgrading your installation following the instructions found here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994

    I am on RC1.. I had Send Invites plugin installed, it messed up the whole thing (i.e. it automatically disabled the JS for some reason), so I deleted the plugin file and folder.

    I had installed WP Super Cache too, it did not work well, so I had to take it off too..

    Other than that, no MU plugins…

    Here is the list of plugins I have installed for a single blog:

    Akismet

    All in One SEO Pack

    Global Translator

    Google XML Sitemaps

    SexyBookmarks

    Smart Youtube

    Smilies Themer

    Twitter for WordPress

    Twitter for WordPress

    WordPress 2.6+ and bbPress 0.9 cookie integration

    WP Custom Login Logo

    I disabled all the plugins but still the issue remains.

    In my previous reply, I had disabled registration just to cross verify.. but still the new tables are getting created..

    I traced the user from the User ID mentioned in the table name.. the user looks like a spammer to me.. but now sure what the user is trying to do as those created tables have 0 records…

    It doesn’t look like spam as I don’t see much increase in registration (wp_users table) The tables are being generated for the users which are already present..

    I have disabled the registrations now.. let’s see how it goes.. I really doubt if it will work though..

    Thanks for the inputs.. any other pointers which I should look for?

    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 ;)

    Maybe you are hit by a spam bot that creates new users? Have you tried to disable the signup?

    I just had the ‘bleeding edge’ upgrade completed a few hours ago. Prior to that I am unsure what vs. I was using.

    As to admin rights:

    Is it possible to have a usergroup that can ‘moderate’ the posts on any forum but do nothing else like touch the plugins, themes etc?

    I’d like to have 2 groups,

    admins that can erase posts

    mods that can ‘suspend’ posts or unpublish them, and have a message sent to the site admin that the content was inappropriate etc… Kind of how like vbulletin does things. We have warning systems, mods, admins, super-admins, etc… I am able to create custom groups with custom permissions etc, to allow them to do only things I want. This has saved my butt more times than I care to talk about.

    As to deleting the user:

    For the most part I wouldn’t want to be that drastic.

    I have many people that come to the forums, and post stuff that I don’t agree with, or don’t really believe belongs on my site. They are usually well meaning people, but have much lower standards than I try to keep up with on my site. These people I usually just make part of a separate group, with very few permissions, like only able to post in certain forums, no pm system etc….

    Usually I can ‘work’ with them, to let them know what I found offensive, and many times the problem does not come up again. If I had simply banned them, then very few people would survive on my site.

    There are the people that just come in to spam our site from time to time. Those people I have no problem simply deleting.

    I hope what I am trying to express makes sense.

    Here is what the problem is.

    A user created a blog on my site.

    I did not want that blog on my site so I went to the admin and deleted it.

    That part worked.

    Here is the big problem:

    The article headlines still show up in the ‘recent blog posts’ on the homepage, and also in the users wire.

    Why did the information not get erased from these areas? and where in the admin do I go to remove the blurbs?

    This can be a SERIOUS problem to us for a few reasons.

    1. being a religious website, we get some pretty horrible spam at times from disgruntled users. If we don’t have an easy way of removing the links from the site entirely, our userbase will stop trusting me and dry up very very fast.

    2. being a religious site, we do everything we can to keep it safe for kids to come. A good portion of our members are kids or teenagers.

    Same problem as above only once in awhile we get those that like to spam us with porn pics. This causes serious problems for a ‘kids’ site, and we are directly liable for anything posted.

    Also:

    How do I go about setting it up so that any of my moderators on my website can remove anything inappropriate as I am not always online?

    For all the reading I have done these past few months, I have yet to come across any type of ‘moderators’ type plugin for mu, where at the very least they can ‘unpublish’ an article, or force it to go into an admin review process.

    thank you

    When I upload this,

    <?php

    function get_recently_active_users( $limit = null, $page = 1 ) {

    global $wpdb;

    if ( $limit && $page )

    $pag_sql = $wpdb->prepare( ” LIMIT %d, %d”, intval( ( $page – 1 ) * $limit), intval( $limit ) );

    $paged_users = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare(

    “SELECT DISTINCT um.user_id FROM ” . $wpdb->base_prefix . “usermeta um

    LEFT JOIN ” . $wpdb->base_prefix . “users u

    ON u.ID = um.user_id

    WHERE um.meta_key = ‘last_activity’

    AND u.spam = 0 AND u.deleted = 0 AND u.user_status = 0

    AND DATE_ADD( FROM_UNIXTIME(um.meta_value), INTERVAL 10 HOUR ) >= NOW()

    ORDER BY FROM_UNIXTIME(um.meta_value) DESC{$pag_sql}” ) );

    return $paged_users;

    }

    ?>

    I’m getting a blank white screen

    If you mean that in wires and group creations it’s not integrated yet, akismet will work anyway against forums & comments spams

    Reprocessor, also take a look at the WP Hashcash plugin — it can help block the spam signups.

    Sod it, they’re spammers – had a look for profiles and looked at some more of the email addresses, they’re crap so they’re getting deleted. Sorry for wasting everyone’s time with this.

    ok when I create that file and upload it to /mu-plugins/ I get that exact code displaying in my header

    function get_recently_active_users( $limit = null, $page = 1 ) { global $wpdb; if ( $limit && $page ) $pag_sql = $wpdb->prepare( ” LIMIT %d, %d”, intval( ( $page – 1 ) * $limit), intval( $limit ) ); $paged_users = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT DISTINCT um.user_id FROM ” . $wpdb->base_prefix . “usermeta um LEFT JOIN ” . $wpdb->base_prefix . “users u ON u.ID = um.user_id WHERE um.meta_key = ‘last_activity’ AND u.spam = 0 AND u.deleted = 0 AND u.user_status = 0 AND DATE_ADD( FROM_UNIXTIME(um.meta_value), INTERVAL 10 HOUR ) >= NOW() ORDER BY FROM_UNIXTIME(um.meta_value) DESC{$pag_sql}” ) ); return $paged_users; }

    I have put recaptcha in mu plugins and i can see it bellow the user name and email.. but it does not process it it just lets anyone through no mater what they type.??

    has any got any thoughts.. i assume its because the bp side of the form process is different to the wp side and its not working..

    Lights back on

    I see that you cant post to a wire via this option but you still can message people who are not friends. I can go to anyone’s profile and click the send message button. Is there a way to stop non friends from messaging you?

    I can see this being used to spam members.

    #41595

    Johan, you were getting trapped by the Akismet spam filter.

    I unspammed your posts, so you should be okay going foward.

    Hello,

    i will to make a feature request and to know what other people think of it.

    When a member register on a BP site, he must wait for the activation mail. Sometimes, this mail is deleting by error, sometimes it goes to the spam list… sometimes we loose members.

    Can it be possible to have in the admin, a list of member who have register but in wating of activation. Actually we can go in phpmyadmin to display the wp-signup table so see these members.

    It’ll be great to have the option to re-send an activation mail when the member haven’t received the mail or destroy it…

    My posts from my own blogs are not showing.

    I use feedwordpress to import some posts on the other blogs but blogs are showing that do not use that at all so I cannot see thats an issue

    wpmu is in a folder off the root called wpmu and has been working for a very long time perfectly with no issues at all.

    BTW, as soon as I put this BP on I have had a ton of spam blogs made so now have had to turn off registration for a while. I have seen there is a fix for this somewhere but wont bother until I know the BP will work.

    allowing the users to set their password would definitely make a lot of splogs.. but incorporating a security measures, let say a invitation code will prevent spam blogs..

    please, somebody provide us a plugin for setting up a password for the registration..

    allowing the user to set their own password.. for FREE!

    Thanks.
