If you are using SEO as a metric against using an entirely dynamic system like BuddyPress i suggest you re-consider that metric.
However the issue you have in regards to the 404 is a known issue and the code above will fix activity stream commenting. @kalengi submitted this fix for a “without javascript use case”.
To fix commenting running with the above example do the following. (Just re-iterating @kalengi here)
In the folder /wp-content/themes/your-theme/activity/
Create the file reply.php
`<?php
global $bp;
if(!is_user_logged_in()) :
bp_core_add_message( __(‘You must be logged in to post a comment’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’);
else :
if(!check_admin_referer(‘new_activity_comment’, ‘_wpnonce_new_activity_comment’)) :
bp_core_add_message(__(‘There was an error posting that reply, please try again.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’);
else :
// This line should match up with your form field names in entry.php
$activity_id = apply_filters(‘bp_activity_post_comment_activity_id’, _POST);
// This line should match up with your form field names in entry.php
$content = apply_filters(‘bp_activity_post_comment_content’, _POST);
$comment_id = bp_activity_new_comment(array(
‘content’ => $content,
‘activity_id’ => $activity_id,
‘parent_id’ => $parent_id));
if(empty($content)) :
bp_core_add_message(__(‘Please add a comment.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’);
bp_core_redirect(wp_get_referer() . ‘#ac-form-‘ . $activity_id);
endif;
if(empty($comment_id)) :
bp_core_add_message(__(‘There was an error posting that reply, please try again.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’);
bp_core_redirect(wp_get_referer() . ‘#ac-form-‘ . $activity_id);
else :
bp_core_add_message(__(‘Comment posted successfully’, ‘buddypress’));
bp_core_redirect(wp_get_referer() . ‘#ac-form-‘ . $activity_id);
endif;
endif;
endif;`
Within that file you should have code that resembles the following. (If you don’t know how to alter accordingly, you need to further assistance.
/wp-content/themes/your-theme/activity/reply.php
Then in /wp-content/themes/your-theme/functions.php
Add this code.
`function bp_activity_action_add_activity_comment()
{
global $bp;
// Not viewing activity or action is not delete
if(!bp_is_activity_component() || !bp_is_current_action(‘reply’)) :
return false;
endif;
locate_template(array(‘activity/reply.php’), true);
bp_core_redirect(wp_get_referer());
}
add_action(‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_add_activity_comment’);`
If you then want to add AJAX to this code you could use jQuery and listen for the form submission, onClick or onSubmit.
You could then run the jQuery AJAX method with GET as the type and the data would be the form fields from the form submitted.
jQuery will then return for you the return values within reply.php
Short of writing it specifically for you, that’s what you need.
