    Hey Guys,

    Im trying to get the CATEGORIES and TAGS from blog posts to appear in the activity stream.

    I have been messing with this in BP

    if ( is_multisite() )
				$activity_action  = sprintf( __( '%1$s wroteD a new post, %2$s, on the site %3$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), '<a href="' . $post_permalink . '">' . $post->post_title . '</a>', '<a href="' . get_blog_option( $blog_id, 'home' ) . '">' . get_blog_option( $blog_id, 'blogname' ) . '</a>' );
			else
				$activity_action  = sprintf( __( '%1$s wroteDD a new post, %2$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), '<a href="' . $post_permalink . '">' . $post->post_title . '</a>' );

    Any guidance would be appreciated..

    While creating WordPress blog you would have to manually add the categories and tags and after this it will appear in the activity stream.

    It only shows you the Title of the Post and Which blog it was posted in.. not the TAG or Category associated with it..

    :/

    @shanebp — Tried the sample code:

    <?php
echo get_the_tag_list('<p>Tags: ',', ','</p>');
?>

    But It fails to appear on the activity stream… DONT I HAVE TO create a function for it in the activity-loop or functions.php or something.. so it “Records” that.. similarly to how it does Username “wrote a new post” this in BlogNAME, BlogTitle

    (sorry.. im totally clueless) any guidance would be appreciated

    untested:

    $activity_action = sprintf( __( '%1$s wroteDD a new post, %2$s, in %3$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), '<a href="' . $post_permalink . '">' . $post->post_title . '</a>', get_the_category_list( ', ', '', $post->ID ) );

    Thanks @shanebp ! – That works! (sorta) experimenting with it.. 🙂

    — The bad thing I did was shoe horn that code on to bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php

    *Im trying to figure out how to easily just pop in get_the_category_list and get_the_tag_list in the “entry.php” – of my template.

    — Anyone know, point me to the right direction or code snippet to get to that?

    Cheers,
