Let users create new website on register page in multisite environment

[webgecko]

Hi there,

how can I achieve that users can create their own website in wordpress multisite during the registration process? I would like to add the checkbox “Gimme a Site” to the KLEO register form.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards.

Daniel

Hello, that is not available right now with the registration. However they can create it directly from their profile tab Sites. If you have it enabled.

Hi Laura,

thank you for your answer. When I log in as a user without site and go to the profile tab “Sites” I just see a message “This site could not be found” and there is no option that the user can create a new site from his/her profile.

How should this site normally look like? What can I do?

Thanks.

Hello, please check attachments 🙂
To enable site creation go to your multisite admin panel and at Settings Choose Create both sites and users
Now at your site http://www.yourwebsite.com/sites all sites will appear there and the Create a Site button too.

Ok, thanks. So to enable my users to create a site directly from the profile tab “Sites” I will try to add the same button “create a site” to the this specific profile tab.

Do you know by heart which template do I have to customize for that?

Are you planning to add these features in the future (button “create a site” in profile tab, and checkbox “gimme a site” in kleo-register)?

Thanks again for the fast support!

Hello 🙂 As its more related to buddypress its not actually a theme feature, i can help you edit that but i would need access to your website and ftp, as its not live yet that wold be difficult, so the files are:
kleo/buddypress/buddypress-functions.php
Copy this file
plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/blogs.php
To the child theme so it looks like this:
wp-content/themes/kleo-child/buddypress/members/single/blogs.php

Edit the file and you can try by adding this function to it

COPY CODE

function bp_legacy_theme_group_create_button( $title ) {
	return $title . ' ' . bp_get_group_create_button();
}

Let me know if that helps 🙂

Hi Laura,

thanks for your answer. I am not quite sure where I should add this function. If I add it to the blogs.php file inside my child theme then I get an error:

Cannot redeclare bp_legacy_theme_group_create_button() (previously declared in …kleo/buddypress/buddypress-functions.php:577

I have added it at the end of the blogs.php file. Should I add this function somewhere else?

Thank you.

Hello, i see, this would require more development, i suggest to hire a developer to check it out for you 🙂

I don’t see the need for a developer here. Of course your approach would have been better to hook into existing buddypress functions but what I still can do is just to add a simple button on this profile page with a link to the “create new site” page.

And I still think this should also be on your agenda for upcoming releases. Because right now I the user hasn’t created any sites in a wordpress multisite then he we see only a white screen inside the corresponding profile tab. This is also the case for forum topics. It would be better that is such case the user has an option to create new site / new topic directly from his profile.

And as I said, a simple button would do. What do you think?

[Laura]

Hello, you could add a button to it, if you want i can guide you through the process 🙂
The registration is handled by buddypress and by default they do not have a button there. There is a forum for feature requests if you want to add a ticket about it, if it gets a lot of votes we will review it 🙂
