Execute bp_activity_add_user_favorite function

Hi. I’m developing a plugin for Buddypress where I’d like to utilize the bp_activity_add_user_favorite function.

I’m executing a PHP function (via AJAX) when a user clicks on a button. Within that function I’m calling bp_activity_add_user_favorite as follows:
do_action( ‘bp_activity_add_user_favorite’, $activity_id, $user_id );

I’ve verified that I have both valid $activity_id and $user_id values (matching up to actual db records), but bp_activity_add_user_favorite doesn’t seem to be executing because the favorite in question isn’t saving for that user. It’s my understanding that bp_activity_add_user_favorite will populate both the bp_activity_meta and user_meta tables respectively. First, is that correct, and any ideas why this might not be executing?

Thanks in advance for anyone’s insight!

I think you’re confused about what do_action actually does.
It provides a hook that you can access with add_action.

Why not call just call bp_activity_add_user_favorite directly in the php function called by ajax ?

something like:
`
$add_fav = bp_activity_add_user_favorite( $activity_id, $user_id );
if( $add_fav ) echo “1″; //true – it worked
else echo “0″; //false – it failed
`

Then handle the response how ever you want back in your ajax function
