ISSUE: Group Forum Post – REPLY FROM ELSEWHERE (Activity Stream) – REPLY Doesn’t Go Back to Forum (31 posts)

Started 1 year, 11 months ago by: Pisanojm

    This seems to be an issue and is especially confusing. Here is the scenario:

    Somebody posts in a Group Forum –>

    The Group Forum Posts Shows up in the Activity STream –>

    Somebody responds to the ACTVITIY STREAM posting of the ORIGINAL GROUP FORUM POST (not in the forum)–>

    THE REPLY/response NEVER shows back up in/under the ORIGINAL GROUP FORUM POST –>

    Causing confusion and the possiblity of missed information.

    Is there a quick fix/hack for this scenario? I searched for this on buddypress community and did not find an answer.

    Thanks guys. Tried the plugin. Activated. Modified the theme. No dice here. Is it as simple as activating that plugin and adding that one single line to the groups/forum/topic.php file?

    @takeo I didn’t do any of the theme edits yet, but the activity stream to forum replies worked out of the box for me.
    Only tried with WP3.0RC & BP 1.2.4.1

    Ok.. I’ve actived the plugin, activated the “BuddyPress Forums Extras – Activity” Assuming this is the corrective plugin… Didn’t work, but I’m going to assume I didn’t modify the theme, so I need to do that… running through the read me now…

    @pisanojm, @takeo really sorry, I activated a few plugins today for testing, this is the one that worked out of the box for me http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-as-blog-comments/

    Doesn’t let me post code…
    My code to look for in the plugin extras page is different.

    I have a do action bp_after_group_forum_topic_posts in the middle of what to look for…

    thekmen… Did the plugin fix the issue with replying to a forum post in the “group stream” and importing it back into the Group Forum?

  • Profile picture of Pisanojm Pisanojm said 1 year, 11 months ago:

    Looks like it won’t work for what I’m talking about @r-a-y is on the right track in pointing me… just some semantics here with the code..

  • Profile picture of Pisanojm Pisanojm said 1 year, 11 months ago:

    Ok… going back through this the plugin suggested by @thekmen actually says it will do what I’m trying to make it do with the “activity” plugin… @r-a-y said in his post, not possible yet… I’m now saying that the code to find and replace in the plugin is different than what is in the topic.php file… If we can get that to work, it should work… maybe?

    @pisanojm, formatting pretty messed up on this post, so hope you can read this.
    Yes, I’m sure it is the latest plugin I mentioned that puts activity stream replies to forum posts into the correct forum thread.

  • Profile picture of Pisanojm Pisanojm said 1 year, 11 months ago:

    Yeah, I just realized the code I posted broke this thread, so I deleted the post

    @thekmen

    I’m convinced of it as well, I was just reading some posts at the plugin group, can’t seem to find the answer though… my default topic.php code is different than that in the search and replace, I’ve tried a couple of things but “no dice” yet…

    @pisanojm with the default theme, I made no theme edits, I did try a few different plugins today but I’m now sure it is the BuddyPress Activity Stream as Blog Comments plugin that worked for me.
