I needed to make a few changes to the code you provided, which I outlined in the gist.

I can do this easily with add_post_type_support( 'events', 'buddypress-activity' );.

But I sometimes want to add an activity to specific BuddyPress groups. To do this, I’m using bp_activity_add(). This works when the add_post_type_support() function call is in place, but I end up with…[Read more]

The bp_activity_add() function does not seem to offer any way to specifically target a single a specific group.

bp_activity_add()

Do any of you know how to do this? Thanks πŸ™‚

Any ideas on how to work around this issue?

is that just due to development reasons or is there another reason you don’t like it?

Brian Krogsgard summed it up pretty well … http://krogsgard.com/2012/jetpack/

gotcha not to try and make you explain why or anything since i probably wouldn’t understand the answer anyway

You will understand. It’s simply because Jetpack only seems to work when something is on the internet. That makes testing pretty much impossible unless I launch a live site just for testing Jetpack, which is kinda ridiculous.

Thanks for trying out the plugin. I have no idea why that bug would be occurring, but I’ll look into it soon for you and see what I can work out. It seems to be working fine on my test installation, but I have a slightly different version on my live site.

I might get around to testing it with Jetpack in the future, but I haven’t found the time to do that yet. Jetpack makes things very difficult to test wtih.

It doesn’t even look at your post content in fact.

Those sorts of techniques should work very well in concert with what my plugin does though. Anything that gets through the Spam Destroyer should be fed through Akismet for checking, in theory leading to an extremely low amount of spam.

I don’t actually use BuddyPress, so don’t have any way to test it in a live situation myself. It is dealing with my blog comment spam flawlessly though.

I launched a new experimental version of my Spam Destroyer plugin today. Previously I had added crude support for BuddyPress and bbPress, but had not properly tested it.

This time around I’ve tried to beef it up quite a bit and make sure it works as well as possible to block those pesky spam registrations.
