How to Modify/Change a Buddypress/Wordpress Account Activation Process

[William_Oneb]

I'm developing a custom BuddyPress/WordPress Plugin. Here's how a user would normally register.

(1) A user registers as usual on registration page
(2) His/Her account is deactivated till he/she clicks on activation link in his/her email
(3) He/She is sent an activation link through the email he/she registered with
(4) He/She activates his account by clicking on the link

I'd like to modify step 4 above so that even if the user clicks on the activation link, his/her account remains deactivated till he/she fills another form on the site for example, a custom survey form. Once this form is filled successfuly, the user can now be activated.

I'll be programming the custom form myself so that it works the way I want it to, with wordpress/Buddypress actions/filters.

So my question is: How can you modify the WordPress/Buddypress activation Process so that the account remains deactivated till the user fill my custom form?

Here's the main action that I intend to use and it fires as soon as the user clicks the buddypress account activation link in their email:

bp_core_signup_user

I'll appreciate if someone can point in the right direction on modifying the Buddypress/Wordpress activation process.

Please help. This is where I'm stuck.

Note: This patch (Disabling Registration) would help captcha/nocaptcha plugin authors as discussed here: ​https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3443

Good question. I would start by trying to block activation until your other criteria is met, rather than faking a user hasn't been activated later in the process (I don't think that's possible to do right now without serious hacking), so maybe the bp_core_screen_activation() in the bp_core_activate_account filter?

override the link in the email to go to your custom "activation" form on the site and then you activate the user.

Going to close this because this was more of a support request rather than a bug report, and we left some feedback, and heard nothing.
