    I use a function with something like this:

    function example_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {
    global $bp, $wpdb;

    $uid = get_userdata($user_id);
    $email = $uid->user_email;

    $fullname = $meta[field_1];

    ...
    update_usermeta( $user_id, 'nickname', $fullname );
    ...
    }
    add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

    I’m not sure that I follow this. I can’t find this action “wpmu_activate_user” . Are you referring to “wpmu_activate_signup?”

    As far as I know wpmu_activate_user is a plugin action hook. Also mentioned here. It works for my function. Not sure what you need exactly.

    I too have also tried to use the tutorial that carrotcreative has mentioned, but not managed to get it working. The reason for my problem though I believe is that I am trying to use BuddyPress 1.2.1 on a standalone installation of WordPress 2.9.2. The tutorial is referencing the hook “bp_core_activate_account” which as far as I can see is in turn calling the function “wpmu_activate_signup” which I am guessing doesn’t exist outside of MU.

    I’ve tried using the “user_register” too hook onto and run the “update_usermeta” ,but that doesn’t appear to be working. Does anyone know what hook should be used for standalone WordPress in the absence of “bp_core_activate_account”

    Thanks.

    I think that I may have come up with a solution for my issue with custom signup fields using BuddyPress 1.2.1 on a standalone installation of WordPress 2.9.2. After much digging around I basically ended up with a function that looks a little like the one below in my bp-custom.php file.

    function bp_custom_signup_fields( $user_id) {

    $bpCustomField = $_POST['bp_custom_field'];

    update_usermeta( $user_id, 'bp_custom_field', $bpCustomField );

    return $user_id;
    }
    add_action( 'user_register', 'bp_custom_signup_fields' );

    This seems to be working as I want it to, but if anyone is aware of any issues that this may cause, please do let me know.

    Is user_register the same point in the process as wpmu_activate_user?

    I’m still on BP 1.1.3, still have to upgrade to 1.2…

    I’m not sure I get it, chip-d. So in my registration form do I need to put something like:

    < code ><label for=”signup_username”>CUSTOM</label>

    <input type=”text” name=”bp_custom_field” id=”bp_custom_field” value=”” /></ code >

    I tested this out, it does indeed work.
