Doubt about the plugin Idea

    Hi! @ipstenu

    Well, I have a doubt about this plugin.

    I’m working on a project runnig BuddyPress Multisite and BP is the main site.

    I want to use your plugin to allow users who doesn’t created a blog to join a other’s blogs and receive news and get advantage of some of the blog’s tools and benefits.

    The problem is that I want the user to choose the blog they want to join, not the admin. I don’t want to let admins to import users.

    I’d like to have this plugin but kind like this: network activated and (the idea) it creates a link on the WP admin bar before notifications (I’m running BP as I said), called “Join this site”. ’cause some admins are veeeery noob to add the widget, so, it appears to all users, so when they want to join a sub-blog of the multisite network the user just clicks on the link of the admin bar and his user information goes to that site.

    I thought this ’cause, in my case, if I let admins to import users they’re going to import everybody, so I’m sure admins are going to send spams and email-mkt to everyone, so imagine you are a user of a network like this and you receive dozens of e-mails of almost all sites of the network almost everyday or everyday… That’s why I think the user must choose. And to not get the problem of a lot of admins do not inserting the widget, the option to join the site could be placed on the admin bar.

    I don’t know if I was clear, but I do not want a subscribe plugin just to get news like feedburner, ’cause each blog has some tools and benefits for users, so they have to register on that sites to get each kind of benefits, that’s why I want it.

    I know I wrote too much, I have this problem.

    Is it possible?

    Thank you very much for all the amazing plugins you’d developed.

    It’s probably possible. I’m not using BuddyPress so I don’t readily have a place to test that one on, and I wouldn’t feel confidant in supporting it long term ??

    The theory would be to remove the widget and options page from the plugin, and replace it with a button on the tool bar. The problem is the making your own registrations pages per site and preventing the admins from messing with it :/

    Hi Mika!

    Thanks for answer me.

    Well, I gave up of that option.

    Your plugin works veeery well to me, but I want to do just one more thing.

    When an admin goes to the plugins page to set this out, there’s 3 options:
    Automatic, Manual and None.
    The None option is the default.
    How can I set the Manual option as default?
    There’s a woocommerce user level called client, so how can I set this user level as default too?

    Thanks

    For both of those, you could use a plugin like this: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/yd-wpmu-sitewide-options/

    I try to make as few options as possible, but I’ll think about this one. The problem with making it automatic or manual is that if the user doesn’t have a widget, or they didn’t make a page, it won’t work right.

    Hi Mika!

    Well, I′m going to insert the widget using New Blog Templates plugin by wpmudev. I′m going to set the widget as default.

    Thank you very much for indicate the YD wpmu sitewide options, I installed it but I′m not getting to replicate your plugin settings.

    I checked the active_plugins field and Overwrite existing blog plugin data. I′ve set up your plugin to Add Manually and the new user default role to Client that is a woocommerce user type, as I network activated the woocommerce plugin.

    I tried to create a new site but your plugin settings keep None to Membership and to Default user role too.

    Can you help me?

    I promess I will not tease you anymore.

    Thanks

    You’re not teasing ?? You’re asking logical questions.

    I admit, I have not used YD in a while, though the dev’s active on his site: https://www.yann.com/en/wp-plugins/yd-wpmu-sitewide-options

    JMM saves everything in helfjmm_options

    You can see them all here: https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/join-my-multisite/trunk/admin/settings.php#L27

    So you could, in theory, make an MU plugin that forces those settings for everyone.
