Hi Andy,
Just to bring your attention to a bug I have found in teh follow plugin.

Similarly to the friends count which doesn’t update in BP when a member is deleted (TRAC fix coming in 1.2.5) I have found that the follow plugin reacts in the same way.

If you follow someone and they they are deleted from the site, the following count stays the same and isn’t updated to reflect that the user is gone.

See this topic here for the friends count problem – http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bug-when-a-user-is-deleted-this-doesnt-reflect-in-the-friends-count-or-follow-count/

I’m sure it’s quite a simple fix.
Hope you can fix it as this really is a super plugin to have!
Cheers Andy!
Ross

No response in 3 weeks so I guess it can’t be fixed

add_action( 'wpmu_delete_user' add_action( 'delete_user' add_action( 'make_spam_user'

function follow_deleted( $user_id ) {
global $wpdb, $bp;

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “DELETE FROM {$bp->follow->table_name} WHERE leader_id = %d”, user_id ) );
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “DELETE FROM {$bp->follow->table_name} WHERE follower_id = %d”, user_id ) );

}

add_action( ‘wpmu_delete_user’, ‘follow_deleted’ );
add_action( ‘delete_user’, ‘follow_deleted’ );
add_action( ‘make_spam_user’, ‘follow_deleted’ )

@phartes, and where would I trigger this function…, somewhere in bp-core?

@GooseNL, should just be able to add that into bp-custom.php or your theme’s functions.php file. It would only get called based on the actions which is when a user is deleted or made a spam user.

Ah ok… i figured out what was going on, the $ sign was missing in front of the user_id. For all you quick copy’n’pasters (like myself), the correct code is as below:

`
function follow_deleted( $user_id ) {
global $wpdb, $bp;

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “DELETE FROM {$bp->follow->table_name} WHERE leader_id = %d”, $user_id ) );
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “DELETE FROM {$bp->follow->table_name} WHERE follower_id = %d”, $user_id ) );

}

add_action( ‘wpmu_delete_user’, ‘follow_deleted’ );
add_action( ‘delete_user’, ‘follow_deleted’ );
add_action( ‘make_spam_user’, ‘follow_deleted’ );
`

Thanks guys, it made me one Happy Camper
