BuddyPress.org

I want users to have to use a generated activation key to use to finalize accessing our site. However, once use register on our menu, they are told an email has been sent. Once they open the email, they receive a notice and a link to click the link to finalize activation (as it did in the past). Once they click the link, they are told they now have access to the site. This current setup allows anyone to register without being approved by our admin. This is what we want to avoid.

I am not sure where to start, but we want the people to register, receive activation code to their emails, plug in the activation code and submit, and then wait for us to approve and generate the approval emails. This will also us to preview who the person(s) is before allowing them to access our site.

Please help!
