BuddyPress.org

First, @henrywright, I think you were right, that code was not creating the entry, it was created because I had add_post_type_support( 'alert', 'buddypress-activity' ); in bp-custom too. Thanks for making me think twice.

It’s amazing what you can learn in 12 hours. Not enough, but it’s a start. So I tossed the baby out with the bathwater, and read this about 15 times to get to a partial understanding of it. I am now using this:

// Don't forget to add the 'buddypress-activity' support!
add_post_type_support( 'alert', 'buddypress-activity' );
 
function customize_page_tracking_args() {
    // Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return;
    }
 
    bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'alert', array(
        /*'component_id'             => buddypress()->blogs->id,*/
        'action_id'                => 'new_alert',
        'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Published a new alert', 'buddypress' ),
        'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Alerts', 'buddypress' ),
        'contexts'                 => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
        'activity_comment'         => true,
        'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s posted an important new <a href="%2$s">** Alert **</a>', 'buddypress' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s posted a new <a href="%2$s">alert</a>, on the site %3$s', 'buddypress' ),
        'position'                 => 100,
    ) );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'customize_page_tracking_args' );

After about 20 different mods, adding and deleting and changing, I got a CPT to take to the activity stream, with the (mostly) modified text I was looking for.

I actually don’t even know what some of the items in the array are, I just changed things until they worked. 🙂 In fact, I had to comment out component id, because I still haven’t figured out what goes there to keep from getting a WSOD.

The only main thing I’d really still like to accomplish is getting the Post Title in the link that is created here: '%1$s posted an important new <a href="%2$s">** Alert **</a>' — where it would be like “soandso posted an important new Alert:The Title of the CPT”

Any ideas out there?

If this is still not the right/best way to accomplish this, I’m open to suggestion. But I think I am at least stepping in the right direction.

Thanks.

I’ve tried AddToAny, Ultimate social media and icon plugin in buddy press theme. but it is not sharing image and correct title on facebook. Is this problem of buddypress theme?

@shanebp thank you for the reply.

I have researched the plugins that allow the searching for members and I found that this plugin is great but unfortunately the requirements of my client need a lot more customization and I find the documentation of buddypress much more helpful.

About the:
xprofile_get_field_data( $field, $user_id = 0, $multi_format = 'array' )
I think using that in a Query would be very expensive as it would require doing more database transaction over the search transaction. Am I right?

The wild card seems like a decent way to go with it, I think I will try that 🙂

Thank you.

Hi @henrywright

The code was that that I pulled from the other post. Here it is:

add_filter('bp_blogs_activity_new_post_action', 'record_cpt_activity_action', 1, 3);
function record_cpt_activity_action( $activity_action,  $post, $post_permalink ) { 

   if( $post->post_type == 'agency' ) {
	$activity_action  = sprintf( __( '%1$s created a new Post, %2$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), '<a href="' . $post_permalink . '">' . $post->post_title . '</a>' );
   }
	
   return $activity_action;
}

the only change was that I changed the post_type from ‘projects’ in the original to ‘agency’ in mine, and changed ‘Project’ to ‘Post’ in the next line.

This is my first test use of CPT’s and then trying to tie them to the BP stream, so I’m learning. 🙂

Thanks.

I deactivated all other plugins besides BuddyPress. Activated the 2014 theme. Changed the language to English and made sure BuddyPress pages were all assigned. The permalinks were already not on default. Then I deleted the wp-config and htaccess.

Then I got to the point of install. I was asked for database information. I put the information of my already existing database, but I changed the wp_ table prefix to match the one I use for my already existing database and WP said that there was already an installation and didn’t go further. It automatically generated the wp-config with new hashes, but not .htaccess. I created it myself and only put the WP default .htaccess code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Just to make sure, I also downloaded my entire public_html directory, and also downloaded a fresh copy of WordPress 4.2.2 and BuddyPress 2.2.3.1 and then ran them through a file difference checker application. The only two differences I found were:

1. “version.php” inside the WordPress “includes” folder
had as last line $wp_local_package = ‘el’; and I removed it and

2. in BuddyPress “bp-members” folder the file “bp-members-template.php” I had changed a language string and I replaced the entire file with the fresh copy.

All other WordPress and BuddyPress files are completely identical with the original versions.

I used a different browser to register, but the problem persists exactly the same. It doesn’t work for any gmail account, but works for 1 of the two domains that used to work before.

Ok now everything works as you mentioned, but there’s just one caveat. The xprofile gets updated fine, but it’s not updating the actual Members Type field in the Extended Profile section of the Users panel in the backend.

To clarify, when we make the xprofile field it’s a completely separate field than the Members Type field that Buddypress introduced recently. So in the Users->Extended Profile section there’s two fields for Member Types, the one we created and the one Buddypress introduced. Your code is only affecting the one we created and not the real Buddypress Member Type field. Is there a way to have the BP Member Type field get updated with the corresponding member type from the xprofile field?
