the activity means someone who is active on the site… registrations have to be complete before being considered active… this is to avoid spam bots to be considered active on the site… so when the new members visit the site back and “do” something, they are tracked by the actvity stream.
Thanks nexia,
however I have just created a new account, logged in posted an update but registration still doesn’t show on the activity stream, any other ideas?
the only place i see the new activity update 'type' => 'new_member' is under bp_core_screen_activation() which is called with an activation key – maybe this is restricted to multisite installs?
thanks etiviti,
just realised using BuddyPress 1.2.1 and WP (single) 2.9.2 there is no activation email sent, the account is activated automatically & the user can log in straight away.
I am presuming this is the issue as the user doesn’t have to click an activation link?
Yes. Please make a trac enhancement ticket on https://trac.buddypress.org/, as we should probably make sure we add this into WP to keep the behaviour consistent.
Looks like someone created a trac ticket, thanks.
