Hi Mika,
sorry for keeping you busy with this subject, hopefully it’ll help somebody else too.
No, I read the ‘add the user’ part and didn’t do it because I don’t neccessarly need strict per-site registration, therefore I installed the Multisite User Managment plugin.
I wrongly thought that the registration/activation process, at least the part that is visible by the user, was done with the signup template.
Anyway, since this morning I’ve been trying to do the ‘add the user’ part as well, but couldn’t make it work, I mean, the user is always redirected to the main site, on the page that explains how to activate it.
Basically, I created my plugin, which is only one file called per-site-registration.php, I copied it in /wp-content/plugins and finally I activated it in each secondary site.
This file has the typical plugin ‘header’, your code and as many ‘if’ statements as my secondary sites are; it is something like this:
/*
plugin header
*/
global $blog_id;
/* add user to spanish subsite */
if ( $blog_id == 2 ) {
function my_activate_user( $user_id, $password, $meta )
{add_user_to_blog( '2', $user_id, get_site_option( 'default_user_role', 'subscriber' ) );}
add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'my_activate_user', 10, 3 );
}
/* add user to french subsite */
if ( $blog_id == 3 ) {
function my_activate_user( $user_id, $password, $meta )
{add_user_to_blog( '3', $user_id, get_site_option( 'default_user_role', 'subscriber' ) );}
add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'my_activate_user', 10, 3 );
}
etc.
etc.
Could you please, please, please, tell me what I did wrong?
I deactivated even the Multisite User Management plugin, but it didn’t help a bit.
Yep, it’s a hard nut to crack, for meticulous amateurs like me it even feels like a full metal nut!
Now, I’m going off topic, but when I read pros and cons in Multilingual WordPress I thought: “Multisite, whoa, this is it!”. In hindsight, I think that it has a great potential but this centralized registration mechanism simply cripples it. And, honestly, in the Multisite ‘cons’ list of that webpage, I think it should be clearly stated that if one needs user registration she’d better be a highly capable web programmer and have a great WordPress knowledge (or find a very kind, patient and skilled person, like Mika Epstein, who is going to help out), because adjusting it isn’t trivial at all and it just goes far beyond ‘more management needs’.
Thank you so much!! 🙂
