BuddyPress.org

I really do appreciate all the work you do. I’m just really frustrated with the lack of synchronization and consistency between Buddypress xprofile and WordPress users/usermeta etc. Automattic needs to take a serious look at member management.

FYI, here’s the response from the WPMU forum:

Because if a spammer signs up, for instance, and you delete their username and blogs, if their registration member is also deleted, then they can sign up again.

I’m not satisfied with that answer. There must be cleaner ways to block/blacklist spammers.

Isn’t there a plugin that deletes users more thoroughly?

OK, thanks, I’ll post the question there.

But lack of synchronization between Buddypress xprofile and WordPress wp_usermeta etc. is also causing me lots of headaches, so I hope WPMU is not going to send me back here saying that it’s a Buddypress problem. Aren’t you all part of Automattic somehow?

Update 2: Well, I got somewhere. Buddypress appears to be working. The weird part is that I can’t deactivate it. When I click deactivate it says “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.” How weird is that?

I am going to run with it for now. Theme is going to need a lot of work… the fonts appear to have grown for some reason. must be a problem with my custom CSS

I did find a similar plugin, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/visitor-likedislike-post-rating/, if anyone could help me edit it so that it shows who voted what it would be perfect!

UPDATE: I attempted to delete all my plugins (mu and normal) from my site. Once they were all deleted, I reinstalled buddypress and then reactivated all of my plugins and yet still I receive the same fatal error.

Is this a problem with 2.8.2?

What do you mean by “get the RSS feed from a ‘regular’ WP blog”?

Well if I get the RSS feed from a regular installation of wordpress then it works. Perhaps there is some setting that is locking out the RSS feed from the widget.

However, if you click on the link for the feed, it does show something. Take a peek at:

Is the hook to use this?:

user_register

Runs when a user’s profile is first created. Action function argument: user ID.

So something like this?:

<?php

/*

Description: A plugin to store firstname and lastname from the fullname field in Buddypress registration in WPMU usermeta tables, based on examples in the <a href="http://www.devlounge.net">Devlounge</a> series.

if (!class_exists("RealNameSynchro")) {

class RealNameSynchro {

function RealNameSynchro() { //constructor



}

function xprofile_sync_wp_profile() {

global $bp, $wpdb;



if ( (int)get_site_option( 'bp-disable-profile-sync' ) )

return true;



$fullname = xprofile_get_field_data( BP_XPROFILE_FULLNAME_FIELD_NAME, $bp->loggedin_user->id );

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'xprofile_updated_profile', 'xprofile_sync_wp_profile' );



}



} //End Class RealNameSynchro



if (class_exists("RealNameSynchro")) {

$dl_pluginSeries = new RealNameSynchro();

}

//Actions and Filters

if (isset($dl_pluginSeries)) {

//Actions

add_action('user_register', array(&$dl_pluginSeries, 'xprofile_sync_wp_profile'), 1);

//Filters

}



?>

Testing it now…

Edit: Activating this plugin produces a white screen. Not a good start…

Where did I go wrong?

ow.. this is really annoying..

if the problem is wordpress cache system.. isnt it a compatible problem? because only default caching was open

btw.. that notification is still there..

no one got a similar problem or am i alone?
