I’m struggling with putting together Custom Notifications.

I’ve been trying to use this: https://gist.github.com/modemlooper/9693b591d8c36288496d
Without success.

I’ve been able to add the text for my new notification to \bp-activity\bp-activity-notifications.php
Which is fine as a temporary solution but obviously isn’t update proof.

I’m putting together a system where a user can give a category to their activity update and then users who are in that category (as set on their profile) will get a notification about that update.

The notification is generated like this in bp-custom.php:

function seo_activity_update_reply_add_notification( $activity, $activity_id, $user_id ) {
	global $wpdb;
	$post_cat = $_POST['bpcat'];
	$users = $wpdb->get_results ( "SELECT user_id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_data WHERE value='$post_cat'" );
	$metasjson = json_decode( json_encode($users), true);
	
		
	$newList = array();
foreach($metasjson as $key=>$listItem) {
 $newList[$key] =  $listItem['user_id'];
 
 $posts = '';

}
	
	foreach ($newList as $user) {
	bp_notifications_add_notification( array(
		'user_id'           => $user,
		'item_id'           => $user_id,
		'secondary_item_id' => $activity_id,
		'component_name'    => buddypress()->activity->id,
		'component_action'  => 'industry_post',
		'date_notified'     => bp_core_current_time(),
		'is_new'            => 1,
		'meta_key'			=> 'category',
		'meta_value'			=> $post_cat
	) );
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_activity_posted_update', 'seo_activity_update_reply_add_notification', 10, 3 );

Then in \bp-activity\bp-activity-notifications.php I’ve added this to the bp_activity_format_notifications function:

case 'industry_post':
		$action_filter = $action;
		$activity_id = $user_id;
						$title         = sprintf( __( '@%s Industry Post', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_loggedin_user_username() );
			$amount        = 'single';
			$seouser = bp_core_get_user_displayname($activity_id );
			$seouserurl = bp_core_get_username($item_id );
			// $link          = home_url().'/members/'.$seouserurl.'/'. bp_get_activity_slug() . '/'.$user_id;
			$link = bp_activity_get_permalink( $item_id ) ;

			
					
				$text = sprintf( __( '%1$s is looking for someone in your industry', 'buddypress' ), $seouser );
					
					break; 

But I can’t seem to figure out how to get this to work as a stand alone function in bp-custom.php
