Download from WordPress Plugin Repo: BuddyPress Pending Activations

Allow bulk user management of pending user registration for your single WordPress BuddyPress install.

• Manual Activate
• Resend Activation Key (logs date resent)
• Delete User

Note: If you use Multisite and need to manage activation keys – this plugin will allow editing of wpms signups but may not include proper BuddyPress hooks.

I plan on adding proper Multisite hooks in the future.

Download from WordPress Plugin Repo: BuddyPress Restrict Email Domains

Enable the same Multisite user registration checks on Limited Email Registrations and Banned Email Domains for a single WordPress BuddyPress install.

Note: If you use Multisite and want to enable Banned Email Domains before the trac ticket is corrected, see:  Quick Tip: Added Banned Email Domain Check to Multisite BuddyPress Registration

Download from WordPress Plugin Repo: BuddyPress Activity Stream Hashtags

A simple “twitter-like” #hashtags linking of  activity stream content (status updates, group updates, reply comments, forum posts and topics – blog posts and comments available via a simple filter addition – see extra config)

Please Note:

All links are converted pre database – if you remove this plugin – those links will remain within the activity content. (unfortunately this is done to match the search_term with a closing a href – same method used for @atmentions due to BuddyPress sql LIKE %%search_term%%)

Bug: activity stream ajax notifier has a small conflict when viewing a hashtag – will prompt with a new update message.

Download from WordPress Plugin Repo: BuddyPress Activity Stream Ajax Notifier

Displays a simple “twitter-like” notification of a new activity stream record. Polling occurs on the main activity, group activity, profile activity (and the subnavs – just-me, friends, groups, mentions) and currently set at every 2 minutes.

A few restrictions – does not check for new activity comments, does not return the number of new activity stream records, and the user must be logged in.

• Active Members (default 30 days of last_activity – can override)
• Status Updates
• Groups
• Forums
• Forum Topics
• Forum Posts
• Blogs

The wp-admin page includes an option to select which count function to display. Various filters/hooks and templatetags are available to customize the output.

Member Connection:

A member of your BuddyPress site may enable XML-RPC by visiting their profile page and generating an apikey (which is also emailed to the member). This acts as their password to the service (same login name).

Future Consideration:

Rate limits
OAuth?
More RPC commands?

This plugin allows an user to edit their activity stream status update within a specified time period. This include profile and group status updates (activity_update). Site admins may edit all activity types except new_forum_post and new_forum_topic activity types.

Future consideration:
Editing activity meta, reassign group_id & user_id
