BuddyPress.org

I am running the lest version of Buddypress and WordPress on a VPS server NOT running multisite. Tiny framework is the theme I am using. However the first thing I did to trouble shoot was try to replicate problem without any plugin and using 2012 theme (which tiny frame is based on) and 2016 theme. The issues remained the same with but those thems and th social me theme.

I will try to check the MYSQL question as I am familiar with that having done MYSQL database programming. However I have narrowed done the problem to something related to the extended profile fields component. Through trial and error and some research I surfaced the correlation which one other person seems to have referred as well. If extended profile fields are turned OFF the registration is completed and the activation email sent. If it is on the registration process is not completed. I tested this extensively turning on and off and it followed that pattern. I currently have the component turned off and users are able to register. When I turned on again I was unable to complete a registration.

It may be unrelated but no registration spam protection plugins will work now either I have tried several with recaptcha and without and in every case the registration process short circuits.

Thanks for any help in advance. I would like to get the extended field working again.

hi @danbp
Thanks for your reply,
i have tried the with

bp_activity_get_where_conditions

but this filter will return the where conditions used like

array(3) {
  ["filter_sql"]=>
  string(416) "a.user_id IN ( 451,378,213,431,429,414,415,456,452,473,460,458,283,471,383,468,387,454,441,6,384,475,427 ) AND a.component IN ( 'groups' ) AND a.type IN ( 'activity_update' ) AND a.item_id IN ( 1 )"
  ["spam_sql"]=>
  string(13) "a.is_spam = 0"
  ["excluded_types"]=>
  string(34) "a.type NOT IN ('activity_comment')"
}

it will not contain the ‘ORDER BY’ portion of the query, i hope we will get the total query with the

bp_activity_total_activities_sql

filter in ~L, 664, so when we get the entire query we can replace the ‘ORDER BY’ section using string replace, i have tried by using this but i can’t get the query inside the function, do you have any idea how to use this filter ?

Hey Henry,

I checked my spam box also, but nothing found. Anything else that we can do to fix it from our end?

Thanks @djpaul !

Evil people do suck! But I think I see where you’re coming from: The unsubscribe fixture is more of an anti-spamming measure?

I did try navigating the Trac system to further the discussion but came into a few hangups relating to a “TICKET_CREATE privileges are required…” error. But I’ll keep on this topic because I think it’s an important one, especially with the quantity of emails BP outputs and dependency we have on them for notifications.

With the release of 2.6, will the Unsubscribe link automatically disable all BP notifications when clicked or just the notification related to that email (i.e. All Activity, Messages, Friends Notifications or just the single related notification) or something different (i.e. option landing page)?

@djpaul you’re right that there’s no point sending emails to spammers, and I’m not concerned about them.

I use this feature as a tool to manage non-splogger members of the community. For that purpose, I also have another suggestion:

a) If a member can be sent an email X number of days after registration (one-time or periodically). Or,

b) If an email can be sent only after a member has been inactive for X number of days.

These steps can also be used to honor/reward the active/regular members of the community.

I wonder if such cases/instances can be tracked and any email situations be created for them.

Thanks.

Thanks for response Shane. I did see that post, but even with button removed it still allows a user to compose a message and send to someone who isn’t a friend, hence why i was still searching.

I have already introduced a text limit on the compose field to discourage spamming, but it is only Javascript. So with Javascript turned off it is still possible to send big messages. Looking for the PHP validation database solution.

Guess I’ll weigh up the value of PM’s on my site (not live atm) against the possible annoyance of spam to users. Better to introduce PMs at a later date rather than have it initially, find a problem with spam annoying people in the community and then having to remove the feature.

Also, I’m trying to change my profile email but it is giving me this error:

That email address is already taken.
No changes were made to your account.

I think I may have multiple accounts here. Could I merge the two and update the email on this account? I’m not getting the responses in my current email account which is gmail. The hotmail account is mostly a spam account now.
