I have tried both adding a filter and editing the core file. No luck. I am using latest buddypress. Has anyone a solution for buddypress 1.5?

sorry, the right function/file to edit on bp 1.5.1 is:

bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_to
in
buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-signup.php

the plugin should have also a way to collect and show all the fields from the registration form and display it on the email, so the admin can check who is the requester.

Uhm it seems a very interesting idea…we can make a plugin to convert the bp registration double opt in to a moderation system.

in the 1.5.1, the function:
bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_to
is on /bp-core/bp-core-filters.php

Nope. I haven’t tested the new version.

Hey, this is exactly what I’m looking for but unfortunately the bp-core-signup.php file does not exist in Buddypress 1.5. Any idea on how to implement this in the most recent version?
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for the tip, it saved me a lot of hunting.
I heeded r-a-y’s advice, so instead of altering bp-core-signup.php I added it as a filter:
function filter_replace_with_moderator_email($user_email) { return get_site_option( "admin_email" ); } add_filter('bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_to', 'filter_replace_with_moderator_email');

to the register.php of my buddypress theme. Perhaps there is a better place to put this code, but it works, and as it’s in the theme, it will survive if buddypress gets upgraded.

Hmm…strange. I dont really get this. I tell you, I´m no good at PHP but the only field a can pass are the $user_id. I´v tried with £firstname, $username without any luck. Could you provide me any more examples?

$message = apply_filters( 'bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_message', $message." User e-mail: ".$user_email );

In the example above I have added an extra field, the users e-mail address. The same way you can add what you need. If what you need to add doesn't have a variable (ie. $user_email), you can create a mysql query and echo the result. It should be easy.

Ok, any idea how?

Everything is possible in the IT field.

Hi, this is a great workaround!

Is it possible to send one of the extended profile fields in the mail also? For example if I want to sent a Company field name so the reciver of the mail could see what company that want to register?

I would be very pleased for a response!

No need to hack bp-core-signup.php when there are filters available for you to override these options!
