This is only the BP side of the site. Otherwise the rest of the site is fine.

Desperate bump

[@ftlralph Participant 5 years, 9 months ago]

And like most cases I figured it out after posting the question

public function should_send_mention_notificaton($value, $usernames, $user_id, $activity)
{
	// Return false if activity author is blocked by user_id
	global $wpdb;
	
	$id_maybe_blocked = $activity->user_id;
	$blocked_ids = $wpdb->get_col( "SELECT target_id FROM {$wpdb->base_prefix}bp_block_member WHERE user_id = '$user_id' ");
	if (in_array($id_maybe_blocked, $blocked_ids) == true)
		return false;
	return true;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_at_name_do_notifications', 'should_send_mention_notificaton', 1, 4);

It does look like it’s a bp-legacy thing.

I’m no JavaScript guy but in the js file included in default bp-legacy themes there appears to be this code which is the only place I can force it to cancel the form submission, but I’d need to detect something is wrong here in the JavaScript first.

This is the relevant section of the buddypress-activity.js file:

// Submitting comments and replies
if ( 'ac_form_submit' === target.prop( 'name' ) ) {
	var comment_content, comment_data;

	form = target.closest( 'form' );
	item_id = activity_id;

	// Stop event propagation
	event.preventDefault();

	if ( target.closest( 'li' ).data( 'bp-activity-comment-id' ) ) {
		item_id    = target.closest( 'li' ).data( 'bp-activity-comment-id' );
	}

	comment_content = $( form ).find( 'textarea' ).first();

	target.addClass( 'loading' ).prop( 'disabled', true );
	comment_content.addClass( 'loading' ).prop( 'disabled', true );

	comment_data = {
		action                        : 'new_activity_comment',
		_wpnonce_new_activity_comment : $( '#_wpnonce_new_activity_comment' ).val(),
		comment_id                    : item_id,
		form_id                       : activity_id,
		content                       : comment_content.val()
	};

	// Add the Akismet nonce if it exists
	if ( $( '#_bp_as_nonce_' + activity_id ).val() ) {
		comment_data['_bp_as_nonce_' + activity_id] = $( '#_bp_as_nonce_' + activity_id ).val();
	}

	parent.ajax( comment_data, 'activity' ).done( function( response ) {
		target.removeClass( 'loading' );
		comment_content.removeClass( 'loading' );
		$( '.acomment-reply' ).attr( 'aria-expanded', 'false' );
		// etc...

Bump – if anyone can assist, what hook should I look for to see how comments get pre-processed before submitting the form? In order to display a message that the content is inappropriate or something beforehand

[@ftlralph Participant 5 years, 10 months ago]

I’m using 3.2.0 BP plugin with just a CSS-modified bp-default theme. It definitely fades out the comment and replaces it with basically a “nah son” message with no way to go back.

I don’t *think* the theme has anything to do with this, as it’s all form-related stuff that has its origins in the plugin files.

Where would be the best place/function to look to see how comments get pre-processed before submitting the form?

[@ftlralph Participant 5 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks

But it might actually just be activity comments then, I hadn’t checked posts, but when leaving a comment the entire submission form goes away and the “You have posted an inappropriate word” message is shown in its place

The type of behavior for posts you describe is essentially what I was looking to do with comments

Also for what it’s worth, what I’m doing here is catching image links prior to oembed so I can wrap them in <img /> tags (this way it works for all images, not just imgur and a select few)

Plus oembed is ugly but I like it for Youtube links

Is there an easier way to do this? Maybe just “don’t use oembed except for Youtube” type of hacking?

[@ftlralph Participant 6 years, 4 months ago]

Thanks, yeah I’m going to look into some SQL action to get what I want, I think I’m just thinking about it wrong

[@ftlralph Participant 6 years, 4 months ago]

True that’s what I’m thinking too I’m kinda just testing my luck here hacking away at a “recent activity” plugin for BP

It uses this line to get recent activity from the DB

$recent_blogs = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT user_id, content, item_id, id, date_recorded FROM {$wpdb->prefix}bp_activity WHERE TYPE = 'activity_comment' ORDER BY date_recorded DESC LIMIT $number_blogs" );

Of course it gives the SELECTed stuff: user_id, content, item_id, id, date_recorded
However that user_idis that of this particular activity (a comment, perhaps) whereas I’d like also the user_idof the activity being commented on (if that’s the case).

I guess I was just thinking there was a bp_get_activity($item_id)->author,content,date etc type of function
