Am I Breaking Something? Is There An Easier Way?
-
I’ve posted several times on this forum about the registration process and I really would like to get this completed so I can move on to the next thing with BuddyPress.
I’m setting up a registration page. To do so, I’ve done the following:
1. Pulled the registration code from register.php and saved it to a category page (that has a header, sidebar, and footer.php).
2. Made a function call to `bp_core_screen_signup()` at the beginning of the registration page. Apparently this function sets up everything. I know this function is reading the hidden form field when submitted, because the process goes through several lines in this function, some of which gave me errors and I fixed them. But when I everything completes, instead of moving on to the next step, it reloads back to the home page, no verification email sent, no fields for avatar uploads…nothing.So this makes me ask if I’m breaking something by setting up my own registration page. Is there a easier way to get this registration process accomplished?

Well…
I figured that I can have a register page with the register fields that is independent of login status. The purpose of the register page is to “save data to the database”.
Ever since I began this forum post, I solved some things. I created my join page (I’d have to really break it down how I did it). When a new user registers, his/her information gets saved to the database. Then the screen reloads saying that an “email was sent and to activate the account, click the email”.
The email was sent to the make-believe user I created. When I clicked the email, it redirected me to the activation page where it encouraged me to login. HERE AT THIS POINT (step 1), I figured that I can run some conditional, where if someone else is logged in, the new user logging into his/her account would log the active user out. (step 2) At this point, once the new user logs and the active user is logged out, the avatar load process and the rest of the completion of the new account can take place.
As long as all of the needed info is supplied to the db for a new user, it looks to me like this is the most important thing in establishing a new user. I shouldn’t be breaking anything (correct me if I’m wrong here).
So..it sounds possible to me…
