BuddyPress registration not picking up s2 role/caps

[clavaque]

I'm testing how the registration works with WP+BP+s2 Framework. I tried a signup link for Level 1, I got redirected to the BP registration page (BP replaces wp-login with its own pages) and registered. Then checked the new user's role and it's "subscriber", not level 1. s2 should be able to pick that up and give the new user the right role/ccaps.

Moving this to the "Next Release" milestone.

Attempting to reproduce...

Confirmed, this is a bug. Investigating now.

Cookies are being set, but not parsed during BP registration. Hmm...

Yeah, something changed in the most recent version of BP apparently.

It's only the role/caps being lost here; other meta values are not impacted by the bug. This tells me that BuddyPress might be overriding these details on activation. Still investigating.

Okay

Confirmed. BP integrated several new routines dealing with registration in a much different way (internally) from previous releases. This will take some work to implement this into the latest release of BP. I will leave this open while work continues.

We'll need to move our hook and cookie parser to
do_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', $user_id, $key, $user );

This has been resolved; coming in the next release.
