BuddyPress

Hi,

I’m using BP 1.5b2 with a Canvas child theme, WP 3.1.2 . The problem I’m having is that new posts and comments do not show up in the activity stream, as they did in previous versions of BP.

Looking at my local install, comments and posts added before the changeover to latest BP still display in the stream, but not those added since 1.5b2. On the dev site, no comments or posts show up.

On this particular site, the comments and posts that show up should include our custom post types – Events and Recipes. I did see this ticket – http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3455 – which indicates that CPT comment / activity stream functionality should be added with custom functions (if I’ve understood correctly?), but I imagine that normal posts and post comments should come through to the stream by default?

Thanks.

Just a correction on WP version: should be 3.2.1

This has been fixed since BP 1.5b2 was released.

See http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3445 and http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4965

I’ve updated to the latest build of the beta, but posts and comments are still not showing up in the stream.

On my local site, if I enable the ‘Site Tracking’ component, new posts and comments show up correctly in the stream as “x wrote a new post, y , on the site z”. If I disable Site Tracking then no posts or comments show up in the stream at all.

On the dev site, no posts or comments show up in the stream regardless of active components. Also, locally the BP options show up on my site admin page (plugin is network activated), but on dev they appear on the network admin page – not sure if this is related. (We will need the bp options to show up on each site in the long run, but I’ll save that for another thread)

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don’t know what you mean with the local and dev sites. Are they both running the latest trunk? (or at least something after the issue was fixed on August 11th)

I just tested the site tracking component using the latest trunk and it’s working perfectly for me. With site tracking on, blog posts and their comments show up in the activity feed. With site tracking off, they do not show up in the activity feed.

Just a follow up. I created a network on my local install just to test out multi-site functionality with site-tracking and it worked the same as a regular install. No problems experienced.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought that enabling site tracking would update the stream with posts/comments from all sites in the network, whereas disabling would only feature those on the current site. Have now been able to establish that posts/comments aren’t showing up because the dev site is private and not index-able.

- Is it possible to only feature posts/comments from the current site, even with multiple sites on the network? – Also, how would we go about enabling the bp options per site?- We’re working on a network of sites in different languages, and thus need the ability to define specific slugs/titles for bp components per site.

Appreciate the help.
