Hi @soran7

I’ve narrowed the problem down further and found a hack that works for me. If you look in buddypress-functions.php, there’s a function at line 739 called bp_legacy_theme_new_activity_comment. At line 770 is the process of inserting the new comment into the activity stream.

It begins by checking if $activities_template->activities[0] is set. I’ve tested this function on an actual group page and found that this returns true, so it’s able to handle the activities effectively. However, on my custom template, this returns false; thus, the new comment data is never inserted. Of course this is separate from the process of saving the new comment to the database, so it makes sense that the comments still show up after refresh.

I’m still hoping to find a less hacky way to do this, because my current solution messes up other activity stream pages, but I’ve managed to get my custom template working by copying buddypress-functions.php into my theme folder and modifying line 768 to have a ‘groups’ scope.

So change line 768 from this:
bp_has_activities( 'display_comments=stream&hide_spam=false&include=' . $comment_id );

to this:
bp_has_activities( 'scope=groups&display_comments=stream&hide_spam=false&include=' . $comment_id );

Hope that helps! And if you’re able to find a better, less damaging way, please let me know. My hangup currently is that even if I manually set $bp->current_action to ‘groups’ in my template, it gets over-written at some point after page load, due to a url check that finds my template to not be at a group home url.

Buddypress is getting on my nerves!!

It amazes me that with such a simple solution, no one was able or willing to answer this :/

At any rate, here is the fix. F*** functions.php, just copy buddypress.js and put it in the /js directory of your theme. Edit till your heart’s content.

Still a problem. Perhaps a better, clearer, more easily answered question would be “How can I override buddypress javascript?”

heres my code….
