Thanks @shanebp I’ll try to use that hook. Will let you know the results.

@shanebp is it also possible to use the following filter to get user id on account activation as discussed here? Here is the filter:

$user = apply_filters( 'bp_core_activate_account', bp_core_activate_signup( $_GET['key'] ) );

If yes how would I go about it?

Thanks @henrywright. Now that we’ve defined the function which is my_f( $user_id ) and returned user id, how can we use the same function to assign the value to a valuable? something like:

$user_id = my_f();

Thanks again @henrywright I’m executing the following code on account activation but I now get this error “Warning: Missing argument 1 for my_f() … ”

Here is the code:

function my_f( $user_id ) {
    // You can do something with $user_id here. Note though, the return value of
    // bp_core_activate_signup() may be false. In that case,
    // the value of $user_id here will be false.
    return $user_id;

}

add_filter( 'bp_core_activate_account', 'my_f' );

function do_thingsz(){
	$willie = my_f();
	echo "The user id is ";
	echo $willie;
}

add_action( 'bp_after_activate_content', 'do_thingsz', 10, 0 );

@henrywright, I’m trying to write a function that will return user id on account activation so that I can use the user id somewhere else with this hook: bp_after_activate_content. Something like my previous code which was:

function my_f( $user_id ) {
    // You can do something with $user_id here. Note though, the return value of
    // bp_core_activate_signup() may be false. In that case,
    // the value of $user_id here will be false.
    return $user_id;

}

add_filter( 'bp_core_activate_account', 'my_f' );

function do_thingsz(){
	$willie = my_f();
	echo "The user id is ";
	echo $willie;
}

add_action( 'bp_after_activate_content', 'do_thingsz', 10, 0 );

Do you have more ideas @henrywright. I appreciate @shanebp’s suggestion above but it’s not working the way I want it to (Returning the user id)

No @henrywright. At this point, the user has just clicked on the activation link in email.

@shanebp suggested this function. It’s working but I can’t get it to return an id that I can store in a GLOBAL variable so that I can use it somewhere else on activation page with this hook:

bp_after_activate_content

Here’s the function that @shanebp suggested.

function william_bp_core_activated_user(  $user_id, $key, $user ) {
     // do something with $user_id
     // there is no return for add_action, only add_filter
};
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'william_bp_core_activated_user', 10, 3 );

Thanks for your reply @henrywright. So how would I go about retrieving the activation key? I’d appreciate if you can at least give me a code that just prints the activation key on the activation page and I’ll try to query the database for the user ID.

Thanks @henrywright The above code did not echo the key but this one did.

function william_oneb_key() {
      if ( empty( $key ) ) {
      $key = bp_current_action();
      echo "The activation key is ";
      echo $key;
  }
}
add_action( 'bp_after_activate_content', 'william_oneb_key' );

The final bit would be to query the user id using the key that we just obtained. Do you mind helping me with this one too? Probably a code?
