Yikes! Sorry, Bob, I just realized I was not subscribed to this thread. Anyway, the functions that I had gotten to work for creating activity notifications from actual blog comments (not activity comments) was working but is now broken. :\ Here is the new thread I have created to tackle this new situation. Feel free to add a “bump”. 😉 https://buddypress.org/support/topic/help-me-fix-a-function-that-adds-blog-comments-to-activity/

I am experiencing the same thing. If I am logged in as an admin, I can see and visit any user’s settings—but not if I am logged in as an author. Also, I have a few modifications in bp-custom.php (bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'settings', 'general' );,bp_core_new_nav_default(array('parent_slug' => $bp->settings->slug,'screen_function' => 'bp_core_screen_notification_settings','subnav_slug' => 'notifications'));) that are ignored on the “other user’s” ill-accessed settings nav.

Holy shitake mushrooms…I’m an idiot. The user I’m working with didn’t have any values in any of the fields. Please ignore. Keep moving. Nothing to see here.

bp_profile_field_data(‘field=Company’); works in my desktop theme, not in mobile. I tried bp_member_profile_data(‘field=Company’);, still nothing.

I also am getting nothing with bp_profile_field_data. It is spitting out the values in my regular theme’s member-header.php but when I plunk it into the BPMobile theme, nothing. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help Looper and Shane.
I got it working!
Had to redeclare some functions and modify an already existing plugin but it works…whew.

[@andrewgtibbetts Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks for the reply Shane.
The problem I’m having is reconciling the params that WP post comments use and the params that BP activity comments use.
The simplest route (that I can glean) to get the functionality I want is to programmatically insert an activity post comment every time a comment is made on the actual post.
So, how do I grab the necessary params from a regular post comment and pass them to a function that will create an activity post comment?
I can (hopefully) figure out how to redirect the activity post comment to link to the post and not the activity item once I get this initial part working.
(The reason I think faking an activity comment is so that I can utilize preexisting functions that find all the involved members that are commenting on the post, which only exist in BP activity and not in WP—correct me if I’m wrong)

Thanks modemlooper.
I have been looking though the code for over a month now and I’m getting nowhere.
I am trying to modify the “BuddyPress Activity Comment Notifier” plugin to do what I want—it takes activity update comments and makes a screen notification for them.
This is exactly what I want to do but for post comments, not activity update comments.
A possible solution that I’m stuck on is how to trigger an activity comment when someone creates a post comment.
Well, I’m stuck on everything; even how to approach this, and most likely, I’m going about this all wrong.
If any kind soul can take a minute to provide details, it would be greatly appreciated—otherwise it might be nuts to the client.

Anyone? Bueller?
