hi Ray
extremely sorry for not replying earlier.
I had been not checking this blog for some time.
Thanks for pointing. I will be updating this plugin for wpmu 2.9.x once bp 1.2 is available and will let you know in the forum there

Thanks
Brajesh

@PierreMinik
Thanks for pointing.I had tested it with wpmu 2.8.4 and buddypress 1.1 .I am going to put an update by this weekend. Hopefully that will help.

It seems with the latest wpmu (2.8.5.2) and buddypress (1.1.2) the user will still receive an email with an activation link they can click on. Clicking this link of course gives an error seeing as the account is already activated.

I can’t seem to figure out how to prevent the link from being sent.

Hi Kevin,
2 things; 1st is that this plugin isn’t necessary anymore if you upgrade to the latest release of Buddypress. There is an email sent to activate but I’m pretty sure I was able to login before activating (I’ve only done it once a few days ago). Personally, I want some kind of email sent with account details anyhow, and after activating later, there is another welcome email that follows.
2nd for the spam, I did what Brajesh suggested above and have installed SI Captcha. I looked at several of them and this was the easiest to get onto the registration page and is one of the easiest I’ve seen to read for users.
Hope some of this helps.

hi Stan
Thanks for the comment.I was ot well,so could not reply to you earlier.

Well,This is built in functionality of wpmu/buddypress.You can simply enable that.
Just comment line 24 in the code
add_filter(“wpmu_welcome_notification”,”cc_stop_welcome_notification”,10,5)
Comment this line and your users will get automatic welcome notification.

Thanks
Brajesh

I agree with you.Wordpress Mu is known for spammers creating splogs.The best way to avoid that will be putting captcha and other security measures.Stilll ,Spam will remain an issue with wpmu until something better arrives.

I like this idea. I am concerned about spam account signups. What do you think?

Hello!
I’m in the final stages of site development before launching my wpmu+bp+bbpress social network. Going to install your plugin allowing auto registration and after checking the readme.txt, I came here to ask about the function to send new members an email with their account info. I’ll have to check my plugins later today (way too many to remember just yet), but I think one exists to send a welcome email, right?
If you have a method already developed that would tie into your plugin, I believe that would be the most reliable way to go. Do you charge for this part of it?
I’m VERY excited to use this plugin for many reasons, so thank you SO much for using your skills to benefit so many of us. I need to get a little cash ahead after I’m up and running, but I definitely plan on paypal’ing at least a few bucks to many of you coders that provide all these incredible features!
man, what a book here! ok,
The End
