I have a crude implementation of getting Simple:Press forum posts/replies to show in the activity stream:

http://simple-press.com/support-forum/simplepress-forum-multisite/integrating-simplepress-into-buddypress-activity-stream/#p57963

Still working on it, but it works for me.

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Tweetstream is running REALLY slow on my site lately. I thought due to Twitter API issues. So I disabled the sync from Twitter > BP but it is still really laggy. When I disable TweetStream, the site goes back to normal. Any idea what function in the TweetStream plugin could cause the speed lag? I disabled the Cron function and still pretty slow. almost unbearable to keep TS activated.

@stwc – Thanks for this code! Works great!

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

I am looking to do something similar to that. Anyone have any code snippets or hints in the right direction to show X recent forum topics in the groups-loop?

Thanks!

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

@blackphantom

I was thinking more for the Twitter > BP traffic. You are using check_exists_by_content to compare the tweet to be inserted into bp_activity with the existing activity in the table. In this process you’ll already have the twitter id of the activity and can test against the secondary ID field (which is indexed).

@pjnu what globe icon are you referring to?

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

@mmeida

Are you using the filter in TweetStream? If you are using a filter and choose NO to “Show Filter in Tweets” it creates a duplication issue.

@bloackphantom I suppose this could be fixed by testing for duplication using the $tweet[‘id’] instead of check_exists_by_content.

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

It’s on the WordPress Settings page, the option called “Membership”.

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

FWIW, I created a ticket in Trac to bring attention to the image issue:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2022

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

It won’t work natively but I think it could be done. SimplePress has a lot to offer in terms of hooks for certain actions like adding a topic, reply, etc. Someone could add a hook that inserted the post/topic data into the bp activity table.

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

….As I see it, bp-links is better suited as an archival mecahism for many sites and oEmbed has an edge on on-the-fly action

This has been my impression of the purpose of the two plugins exactly!

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

I updated line 72 to read:

add_action(‘bp_activity_filter_options’, ‘tweetstream_addFilter’,1);

And now I can see the “Show Tweets” filter.

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

My WP Single 2.9.2/BP 1.2 did update Twitter from my forum post (needs to be upon topic creation at the moment) but the tinyurl that was created was weird.

Here is the actualy forum topic post:

http://twitterpokertour.com/groups/tournament-poker/forum/topic/twitter-poker-tour-february-week-4-twitter/

And here is the tinyurl that was created:

http://tinyurl.com/yeytrjq

The page that is displayed from the tinyurl is just a random gathering of posts from a variety of group forums (not the one that the original topic was posted in).

This is not a TweetStream issue but a BP/BB issue. If you craft a URL in the form of:

http://domain.com/groupsgroupname/forum/topic/blah-blah-blah-type-whatever-you-want-here/

Will result in a page of random random posts.

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

@blackphantom thanks for looking into it, I am checking it out as well.

RE: Filter: So whatever comma separated value is in the filter field will return the hashtag equivalent match on Twitter? ie: soccer would filter for #soccer, poker would filter for #poker

RE: Topic Reply: In my old forum software I used we had a “TwitThis” button. When we would reply to a forum post, we’d hit the TwitThis button and send a message like this to twitter: “Just responded to: Forum Topic Name: http://blahblah.com/topic.html”. It was a good way to engage people in the forum by catching their attention on twitter.

Thanks!!

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

@blackphantom, bloody brilliant!! Fixed the 404 issue!

Here is where I am with what doesn’t work (WordPress 2.9.2 and BP 1.2)

– I don’t see the filter for “Tweets” in the pulldown for the activity stream.

– My Twitter > BP timestamp is off by 6 hours.

– My Twitter > BP sync doesn’t work with (or I don’t understand) filters! It works when I remove the filters.

Requests:

– Extend the new forum topic “To Twitter” functionality to allow the same thing for topic replies.

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

@blackphantom

I wonder if my 404 issue and @labrujulaverde issue is the same. Depending on how error handling is setup in htaccess it could be redirecting to home page upon a 404 error.

Additionally the sidebar does not display in Tweetstream > Settings. I wonder if this is somehow related.

Thanks!!

@blackphantom

I am still getting a 404 server response when accessing the TweetStream settings page. It loads fine for me in Firefox but some users have reported that they are being sent to a Yahoo search results page when they try to click the tweetstream settings.

You can see the 404 error using firebug:

See this screen capture

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Are you using BP 1.2 with the integrated BBPress? Or a standalone BBPress?

If you are using the integrated method, then you add moderators from the Group > Admin > Manage Members

And as an admin/moderator you can delete forum posts directly from the topic.

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

@r-a-y

Bingo…..works now!

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

May not be compatible with SI CAPTCHA:

Upon activation of oEmbed:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/public_html/sandbox/wp-content/plugins/bp-oembed/bp-oembed.php:110) in /home/public_html/sandbox/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 868

Other than that, I only get the same warning that you say is fixed in trunk.

Good work!!

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Also, the tweetstream settings page is returning a 404 server response though the page still loads for me in FF.

See this screen capture

This is causing an issue with one of my users, his ISP intercepts 404’s I think and is redirecting him to Yahoo (or it’s a yahoo toolbar thing).

Edit: I also wanted to say thanks for developing this plugin!

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

It appears you can access another users tweetstream settings by altering the URL

http://domain.com/members/MEMBERNAME/settings/tweetstream

And you could auth with your own account. No idea why anyone would want to do that, but …..

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

@blackphantom

Could the inclusion of the URL appended to the end of the tweet be optional? That way users can use tweetstream as a status updater first and foremost and not necessarily as a way to drive traffic back to the site. It will also allow for more characters in the tweet.

The via app link will already serve as a path back to the site.

Just a thought!

[@geoffm33 Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Brilliant, great work on this!!!

One issue is the escaping of quotes when it is sent to Twitter. See this tweet:

Testing out the new "post to twitter functionality" … http://twitterpokertour.com/members/cprpoker/

Also, what are your thoughts on leveraging an url shortner for the members profile page backlink?

Thanks!
