with wp 3.0 utilizing post_types, I’m guessing a lot of people in the future are going to be asking about adding their pretty new data types into bp. I would strongly suggest bp consider an easy UI for an admin to simply add in their post types and desired metafields for capture into the activity […]

Well I am sure that many others will someday want to figure out how to get custom post_types to automatically show up in the activity stream. It took me all day reading through most of the bp code, but I finally found the edit needed. in bp-blogs.php line 373 comment out: ` if ( $post->post_type […]

@DJPaul Thank you!. Yes I realize that post_types have absolutely nothing to do with the activity stream. I look at post_types as nothing more than a new dataset that I want to include in the activity stream. I guess that I was hoping that bp had some type of action that I could hook into. Meaning […]

@thelandman Yes I am using wp 3.0 beta. Actually I have the post_types just about finished, a few more hours on templating a few more types and that will be done. example: http://deardaddy.org/sermons/ — multi-relational page with type ‘sermons’ related to types ‘podcasts, preachers, and locations’. Now I am at the point of wanting to include […]

Spent most of the day reading everything available, but still can’t find any documentation on how to pull in my custom post_types with meta into the activity stream.

Please, someone point me in the right direction.

I believe the following ticket may have something to do with these issues:

I would love the opportunity to try it out if you are willing to relase your changes. I also appreciate the heads up on the code quality. Saved me a bit of money there.

I can report the same path issue with 3.0 running bp 1.2.3 in multisite mode. It is not saving the avatar in the /blog.dir/1/ path as it should. Bp is installed on root level of site. I also see the following server error: PHP Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted […]

@Modemlooper I ‘kind of’ agree with you when you say post_types are for individual pieces of content, but also disagree. Post types allows me to create a new object where I can assign multiple attributes to that object type ‘metadata, taxonomies’. You are also able to easily group individual object types of the post type together […]

@r-a-y I couldn’t make it to the chat today, but I just read through the thread. What I couldn’t find was the reasons for using pages instead of post_types. Were those listed off on the audio portion or something? I’ve spent the last month digging really deep into post_types, and while I don’t have a strong […]

I couldn’t be more excited about the merge of mu into 3.0. Finally I can come out of the closet I’ve been hiding in for so long. On most forums, as soon as I mention that I run mu, I get the proverbial, ‘not supported’, argument, whether it’s a theme or plugin purchase, or even […]

@Boone To start with, I have absolutely zero experience with the activity stream. Frankly I am so overwhelmed on the learning curve of everything else that I have not even had the time to think about digging into the activity stream. I only mention this so that if my comments ever seem to be to over […]

Boone – I can think of many reasons to use custom post_types for the forums setup. Really bbpress in its current bp iteration adds nothing to the mix that can’t be achieved with post_types. In the end the forums are just posts styled differently than normal blog posts. I’ve built a basic post_type forum setup […]

Had the same problem on all of my installs last night. Temp solution was to shut down all registrations while bp works this out. Between my network of sites, I would estimate 150+ spam registrations. Once in, they were also abusing the pm system. It’s ok though, I’d rather shut it all down for now […]

a Huge +1 for the bp-gallery from @sbrajesh It does exactly as advertised, and I have never, ever, come across a plugin with the type of support that I receive from Brajesh. Every time the community comes up with a good idea for bp-gallery, it seems that Brajesh comes up with an updated version within hours […]
