In terms of actually doing this, I am pretty sure you can since it is released under the same license as WordPress which I am pretty sure you can remove credit.

I think I’m gonna rename this thread “The perils of not giving credit where credit is due”

Next contributor please.

According to a legend if you remove the copyright you will be captured by extra-terrestrials (Automattic team) and their chief (Mullenweg) will implante an electronic chip in your brain . the chip will generate the same song (downtown by petula clark) everytime a comment spam is send to a blog around the world.

so : Be careful please!

Hello Andy, excellent job, I love wordpress…. I have been testing all community and multiuser blog systems and while Buddypress is still in a marvel work on development I prefer to wait for BP instead of installing and developing on any other platform… WordPress MU+Buddypress rock and will drive the social communites in not time….

I am testing buddypress at http://www.aula5.net, aula5 will be an educational+young people community in the Dominican Republic, the only thing I am missing is the Album feature, this is the main reason for people to enter in any community, PICTURES, PHOTOS.

hi, would be possible to use the custom login WP plugin?

a little photoshop can do miracle in some cases.. thougt

I don’t really like the economic model that wpmudev.org uses. It encourages a ‘rape and pillage’ type of attitude. Pay your $ for a month of access and take everything worth taking. See ya. Got what I want.

I don’t have a moral issue with making money from support or custom coding. I want whoever it is that owns that site to make money. It’s the month of access part I have problems with. It encourages bad behavior.

Premium $ for that? It’s 5 lines of code.

Probably lots of bells and whistles with the premium plugin.

XMLRPC interface to your iphone. Plays a song. Washes the dishes. Babysits the kids. Detection routine for site admin ‘crankyness’ level.

There’s also a premium plugin that allows for login redirection, but it looks like you’ve already solved that;)

You might try the wpmu forums. Lost of trusty brains there. https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/

Yep. If you disable the back end they won’t be able to change the password. You want to disable it completely? How are people going to write blog posts?

Anyway, the password on signup is more than I have time for now. There is a premium plugin available on wpmudev.org http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/set-password-on-wordpress-mu-blog-creation that does what you want. I don’t know if it works with bp or not.

Phunky, ya that $user param isn’t just a user id. It’s the massive wp user object.

$user->all_about_this_person_and_then_some

burtadsit, i meant to say alternative way. sound right?

You could extend on burtadsit plugin and check the users role/cap first and then redirect them accordingly.

scotm, preferred way? I don’t know about that guy. It’s a solution to a specific problem. I don’t dev preferred solutions to bp. Not my job man.

I’ll see if there is a filter I can use to stop this from happening.

So this is a preferred way to avoid the wp-admin or wp-login page versus the Block Admin plugin, correct? This would mean users, including Admin, would have to login from the front end via the sidebar, for example?

You need to make it an actual executable php file by putting <?php at the top and ?> at the bottom of the file.

You can at your peril. There is a secret open source software credit detection routine built into both products. The license doesn’t explicitly say you have to keep it there. However I’ve heard of horrible things happening if you remove it. Open source programmers are very self centered, introverted and vindictive people.

In bbpress, When I Hit the “edit” link would like set the “User Type” of the user to “Administrator”, I get “Sorry, that page was not found” in “buddypress-home” theme.

bbPress: bbpress-1.0-alpha-6

BuddyPress: 1.0b2

Wordpress MU: 2.7

All are releases not SVN

Help…

Howdy. The ’10’ is the priority of the filter (normal) and ‘3’ is the number of arguments the oci_login_redirect() function takes.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API#Filters

If you take a look at the apply_filters() call that is in wp-login.php it sends along 3 params. The second param is not so obvious:

isset( $_REQUEST['redirect_to'] ) ? $_REQUEST['redirect_to'] : ''

Read it as:

‘if the redirect_to is set to something then use that as the 2nd param and if it isn’t set then pass along nothing as the 2nd param’.

Just in case we want to do something fancy in the filter that has to do with where the redirection was supposed to go in the first place.

thank you!

Can I ask what the 10, and 3 refer to in the very last line of code?

I am just now learning how to understand code that I am reading, and I think I grasp everything but that part.

Well, here’s an even better idea. Don’t create a file called just anything. Call it bp-custom.php and put it in there. Drop that in /mu-plugins. I looked at the SVN log and as of rev 1012 if that file exists in /mu-plugins it gets run before anything else in bp.

Cool. Thanks Andy!

Now I know how to launch all my little tweaks. The official way.
