Registration and Members Listing with BP API

    Hello everyone,

    I’m trying to build the frontend part for my blog and use WP and BP as headless CMS through their API. But I can’t get the registration to work as I expect. What I would like is to

    • Have a registration form for new users to sign up.
    • Once they’re registered and after account activation, they appear in member list so that other users can make friendship request to them.
    • When they’re registered and after account activation they can log in (with JWT) and then display the memeber list to make friendship request.

    What I’ve done, what’s not working

    • When I try to make a “create member request” via POST /buddypress/v1/members -> I get an error “rest_cannot_create_user” because I don’t have rights to create new members.
    • When I try to make a “signup request” via POST /buddypress/v1/signup, it registration seems to works (a user is added in WP) but he’s not visible in member list via GET /buddypress/v1/members.
    • After account activation, the user is still not present in the member list
    • After the user has logged in via JWT (POST /jwt-auth/v1/token), he can access to member list but he is still not present in the member list.
    • The only way I found to make the user appears in the member list is to log in with the user credentials on the wp-admin interface.

    How can I solve this, i.e. how can I make a new user visible in the member list without having him to log in through the wp-admin page ?

    And this may be related but what is the difference between “user signups” and “member creation” ?

    Thanks,
    David

    If you create a ‘last_activity’ entry in the activities table, the user should appear in the members list.
    For example, once you have the user id:
    bp_update_user_last_activity( $user_id, bp_core_current_time() );

    Hi shanebp,

    Thanks a lot ! Adding these lines in my functions.php solved the problem 

    function update_last_activity_on_activation( $user ) {

	
	if ( empty( $user ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	if ( is_array( $user ) ) {
		$user_id = $user['user_id'];
	} else {
		$user_id = $user;
	}

	if ( empty( $user_id ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	bp_update_user_last_activity( $user_id, bp_core_current_time() );

}
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'update_last_activity_on_activation' );
