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 Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

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 Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

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 Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

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

[@creativesinside Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

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

[@creativesinside Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

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 Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

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 Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

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 Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

$notificationpostid = bp_notifications_get_notification(secondary_item_id);

[@creativesinside Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

Wicked awesome! Going to check it out now.

[@creativesinside Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

Didn’t mean to post this.

[@creativesinside Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

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 Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

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

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

[@creativesinside Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

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

Thanks!

[@creativesinside Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

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

[@creativesinside Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

You my friend are beautiful! 😀 😀

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

[@creativesinside Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

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.
