Inconsistent activation_key update/delete

Description

In bp_core_activate_signup() we use bp_update_user_meta() which allows the key to be filtered, but in bp_core_signup_user() we use update_user_meta() so this meta can never be overridden.

I'd like to lobby that we switch the later call to bp_update_user_meta() both for consistency and flexibility.

The use-case for per-network activation keys is extremely edge, though... I am in the process of implementing something that will use this (similar in design to triggering a password reset from WordCamp.org, and not wanting to be able to finalize that request through BuddyPress.org.)

Putting this into 2.1.1 as it's a very small edit that likely does not impact any existing installations, but we're so close to 2.1 it doesn't feel right to sneak it in.

Worth noting this is our only remaining call directly to update_user_meta() that isn't passed through bp_ update_user_meta().

#2 @boonebgorges

I don't have a problem making the swap. I'm not sure why this one was left as update_user_meta(). Probably an oversight.

In the absence of a strong reason to the contrary (ideally other than "you'd like it sooner"), I'd prefer to see this in the 2.2 milestone. It's not a regression. I know there are ways you could work around it in the meantime :)

Agree with Boone this should be in 2.2 unless you have a great reason.

  • Milestone changed from 2.1.1 to 2.2

2.2 is fine. The best reason I can come up with is messed up activation keys for anyone running multiple BuddyPress networks, of which I suspect there are very few.
