Hi @alexmoon

I’ve not seen a plugin that can do this but you may have some luck searching in the WordPress Plugin Directory.

Hi @shouldyourent

Unfortunately, this isn’t currently possible. You’d need to either a) find a plugin or b) write some custom code to do the job for you.

/wp-content/plugin/buddypress/bp-activity/activity-template.php is a core file and you are indeed right to think that any changes you make will be overwritten when you upgrade the plugin.

As I mentioned earlier, you should modify your activity template (sorry for not being clearer). The link I provided (to the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy) explains how you can create your own templates.

To explain what I meant about bp_activity_add(), you’d write your own function which contains a call to bp_activity_add(). bp_activity_add() will add an item to the activity stream for you. Hooks are a feature of WordPress, you can read more about them here. You’d hook your custom function to a particular action which will result in bp_activity_add() executing at exactly the time you need it to.

Hooks take a bit of getting your head around at first, but once you master them you’ll see how powerful they can be.

PS – When I crack it, is there any way I can contribute to the codex so other newbies like me have access to the stuff? How?

Sure you can! See the Participate and Contribute article for info on how you can help improve BP documentation.

Hope all this info helps! Give me a shout if you need any further help

It sounds like a bug.
Please create a ticket on trac.
Use the same user / password you use here.

WP won’t allow any character. WP uses sanitize_user function to strip out.

First thing I would do is deactivate all plugins and test WP registration alone to see if its WP issue. If it is then search and post in the wp.org forums.

Hi @neosnc

Thanks for sharing. Importers are always welcome. Perhaps you’d like to make it available as a plugin?

I guess something is not translated, but in this case, the email text should come in english.

If yo use an “old” translation from a previous version, it is possible that something is missing in your translation.

After checking both portugese version on GlotPress, (pt_PT and pt_BR) it appears that pt_PT is not translated for 2.1.x and to 38% for pt_PT in the dev version – the one actualy used by BP 2.1.1

If you use an email plugin, ensure it is matching with WP’s mail action. Or if your theme has is own mail function, check that he uses the same wording as BP (and particulary the $s var) who fires the link.

Code in 2.1.1 looks like this

Did you use a one click installer from your host to install WordPress?

Hi @iuriem

I haven’t seen a plugin that can do this but try searching the WordPress Plugin Directory to see if anything is available.
