I had a very strange circumstance based on a custom notifications loop where we hooked into the messaging system. I had to find my post_id from the message thread_id. Probably won’t help anyone but maybe! 😀

[creativesinside]

object(BP_Notifications_Notification)#394 (8) { ["id"]=> string(3) "297" ["item_id"]=> string(3) "242" ["secondary_item_id"]=> string(1) "1" ["user_id"]=> string(1) "1" ["component_name"]=> string(8) "messages" ["component_action"]=> string(11) "new_message" ["date_notified"]=> string(19) "2015-07-20 20:11:46" ["is_new"]=> string(1) "0" }

The actual Post ID in question is 756.

Is this what you were looking for?
object(BP_Notifications_Notification)#394 (8) { ["id"]=> string(26) "bp_get_the_notification_id" ["item_id"]=> NULL ["secondary_item_id"]=> NULL ["user_id"]=> NULL ["component_name"]=> NULL ["component_action"]=> NULL ["date_notified"]=> NULL ["is_new"]=> NULL }

After reverting the file … it’s still just displaying the “notification id.”

[creativesinside]

Ack my bad! I’m fairly new to php and super new to Buddypress.

Ok soooo … in the file notifications-loop.php inside the loop I’ve added:

				$notificationid7 = bp_get_the_notification_id();
				$obj = bp_notifications_get_notification( $notificationid7 );

And where I need to display the link (also in notifications-loop.php):

<a href="/pins/<?php echo $obj->item_id; ?>">view</a>

Lastly, where I passed the item ID in bp-notifications-functions.php:

function bp_notifications_add_notification( $args = array() ) {

	$r = wp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'user_id'           => 0,
		'item_id'           => $post_id,
		'secondary_item_id' => 0,

However it’s echoing the notification number … not the post ID.

[creativesinside]

What’d you do to fix your code? I’m still stuck! 😀

[creativesinside]

function allofdalights(){
$obj = bp_notifications_get_notification( $id );
echo $obj->item_id; }

[creativesinside]

This is my code:

<?php while ( bp_the_notifications() ) : bp_the_notification();

$user_id = $bp->notifications->query_loop->notification->secondary_item_id;
//bp_notifications_mark_notification(bp_get_the_notification_id(),false);
 ?>

<?php 
                            $messageId = buddypress()->notifications->query_loop->notification->item_id;
                            $message = messages_get_message($messageId);
                            $image = null;
                            if ($message) {
                                $title = apply_filters( 'bp_get_message_thread_from', bp_core_get_userlink( $message->sender_id ) );
                                if ($message->subject == "comment on your post") {
                                   $title .= " commented on your post";
                                } elseif ($message->subject == "like your post") {
                                   $title .= " liked your post";
                                } else {
                                   $title = null;
                                }
                                
                                $image = bp_messages_get_meta($messageId, 'images');
				$obj = bp_notifications_get_notification( $id ); 
                            }
                         ?>

And the echo:

<div><a href="/pins/<?php echo $obj->item_id; ?>">VIEW</a></div>

[creativesinside]

I also don’t know what to do with:

$obj = bp_notifications_get_notification( $id );
echo $obj->item_id;

Do I make a function of it?

[creativesinside]

Is this the proper way to have it setup at the function?

function bp_notifications_add_notification( $args = array() ) {

	$r = wp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'user_id'           => 0,
		'item_id'           => $post_id,
		'secondary_item_id' => ,

[creativesinside]

$notificationpostid = bp_notifications_get_notification(secondary_item_id);

[creativesinside]

Wicked awesome! Going to check it out now.

[creativesinside]

Didn’t mean to post this.

[creativesinside]

Can I simply add post_id into this?

function bp_notifications_add_notification( $args = array() ) {

	$r = wp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'user_id'           => 0,
		'item_id'           => 0,
		'secondary_item_id' => 0,
		'component_name'    => '',
		'component_action'  => '',
		'date_notified'     => bp_core_current_time(),
		'is_new'            => 1,
		'allow_duplicate'   => false,
	) );

	// Check for existing duplicate notifications
	if ( ! $r['allow_duplicate'] ) {
		// date_notified, allow_duplicate don't count toward
		// duplicate status
		$existing = BP_Notifications_Notification::get( array(
			'user_id'           => $r['user_id'],
			'item_id'           => $r['item_id'],
			'secondary_item_id' => $r['secondary_item_id'],
			'component_name'    => $r['component_name'],
			'component_action'  => $r['component_action'],
			'is_new'            => $r['is_new'],
		) );

		if ( ! empty( $existing ) ) {
			return false;
		}
	}

	// Setup the new notification
	$notification                    = new BP_Notifications_Notification;
	$notification->user_id           = $r['user_id'];
	$notification->item_id           = $r['item_id'];
	$notification->secondary_item_id = $r['secondary_item_id'];
	$notification->component_name    = $r['component_name'];
	$notification->component_action  = $r['component_action'];
	$notification->date_notified     = $r['date_notified'];
	$notification->is_new            = $r['is_new'];

	// Save the new notification
	return $notification->save();
}

We hooked into a liking plugin and wp-comments to include notifications for activity on those two actions.

Then the notifications are coming in Ajax to a flyout window. 😀

[creativesinside]

I have tried about 100 different things and I thought this would work:

get_post_meta($post->ID,'thread_id');

[creativesinside]

Or how can I add a column in the database table bp_notifications for post_id?

Thanks!

[creativesinside]

The goal being … I want to make a clickable link in the notification to go to the post corresponding to the notification.

[creativesinside]

You my friend are beautiful! 😀 😀

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Trying to clean up the mess that the other developer created basically. We came up with a different solution.

Basically we changed What’s New to “About Me” but we wanted to allow for an empty “About Me.”

We also moved the Activity Stream to a, “My Profile” page and did something very hacky by calling the Activity Stream and hiding everything except for “Delete” and naming that “Clear my About Me.”

BTW .. I am very new to development. Thanks for helping out.

Ack! My bad … new to the forum!!!

{
    if ( empty($value) ) {
        return ' ';
    }
    return $value;
}
