BuddyPress.org

@Meini, just tried to download your files, link is not working.

Anyone else made progess on this? Seems like such a fundamental idea, can’t believe it doesn’t exist already! Am hoping future version of Buddypress work to add a more seamless interface btwn WordPress and Buddypress.

cheers!

@leethompson does this plugin help? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-privacy/

If you have never received an email (and it’s not stuck in a spam or junk folder) then your web host may need an extra plugin to use email with WordPress.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ ( http://www.callum-macdonald.com/code/wp-mail-smtp/ ) adds extra email settings to wordpress and has a tool to debug smtp / php mail. This plugin has previously been discussed: https://buddypress.org/?s=wp-mail-smtp ….

Alternatively the codex has another suggestion.

If you can copy and paste your wordpress themes page.php file here, ill see if I can help.

@Mike84 using latest BP/WP stable versions?

== if BuddyPress can be easily integrated into an existing membership site community of over 100 people ==
Curious since you mentioned Joomla, is your current installation a Joomla site with WordPress integrated for the blogging portion? Or are you referring to a WordPress install with 100 users? If it’s a WP install, then BP addition is not going to be a problem. The WP user would be recognized when he/she next logs in.

You’ll find all the functions to call adminbar stuff here:

You should start a new topic!

Some web hosts require extra configuration to work with wordpress email.

wp-mail-smtp also provides a testing mode to help debug php and smtp mail.

Previous discussions about it can be found by searching buddypress.org for WP-Mail-SMTP

My 3 step solution to this problem is as follows:

1. Install plugin – BuddyPress Pending Activations (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/)
2. Make hack to plugin function bp_pending_activations_admin() so that it sends an email when a user is activated:
$resendusers = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT u.ID, u.user_login, u.user_email, m.meta_value FROM ” . CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE . ” m, “. CUSTOM_USER_TABLE .” u WHERE u.ID = m.user_id AND m.meta_key = ‘activation_key’ AND u.ID IN ({$userids})” ) );

foreach ( $resendusers as $resend ) {

/* Activate the signup */
$user = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_activate_account’, bp_core_activate_signup( $resend->meta_value ) );

/* If there was errors, add a message and redirect */
if ( $user->errors ) {
echo ‘There was an error activating this account, please try again: ‘. $resend->user_login;
} else {
$to = $resend->user_email;
$subject = “Your ?????? Account Has Been Activated!”;
$message = “Your account has been activated. Go to http://??????/ and sign in with the username and password that you created when you signed up.nnWelcome to ?????!”;
$admin_email = get_site_option( “admin_email” );
$from_name = “??????????”;
$message_headers = “MIME-Version: 1.0n” . “From: “{$from_name}” n” . “Content-Type: text/plain; charset=”” . get_option( ‘blog_charset’ ) . “”n”;
wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $message_headers );
}
3. Redirect activation email to admin (to use as a noitification for admin instead of automatically sending activition key to user) by adding this to functions.php:
function change_activation_email_to($content) {
return get_site_option( “admin_email” );
}
add_filter( ‘bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_to’, ‘change_activation_email_to’);

So the when a new user signs up, they do not get any activation email. That goes to the admin instead. You will need to change the wording in your template to let the user know that they have to wait for manual approval. Admin logs in to WP admin and goes to Pending Activitations and activates the user. An email is sent to user to let them know they have been activated.

@mercime ‘s method will work correctly. But, as of https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5124, it shouldn’t be necessary. The method that @alanchrishughes suggests should work properly. Please ensure that you’re running 1.5-rc-1, or an svn checkout of at least r5124.

@kkradel if you used BP template pack plugin, check out the selectors used in bp.css file as a guide to start you off – https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/bp-template-pack/tags/1.1.4/bp.css

@idahoannie @kkradel after installing BP Template Pack plugin, you need to go through the process including imposing your active WP theme’s HTML structure onto the BP template files transferred into your WP theme’s folder in server.

If you require further assistance:
– open up your theme’s page.php file, select all and copy
– go to pastebin.com and paste the code, click on submit button
– copy the generated pastebin.com url and post here.

Components register their table names themselves. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-loader.php#L85

In the case of xprofile, they are
`$bp->profile->table_name_data
$bp->profile->table_name_fields`
and so on.

You may find it helpful to look at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-classes.php to see how BP itself references these tables. Likewise for the other components.
