BuddyPress.org

I add some detail.
I’m using WP 3.3.1 and Buddypress 1.5.3.1
I tried deactivating all plugins and using standard Buddypress Theme. Nothing change: no screen notification for reply to activities.

Heres another one when you leave a comment

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_settings_slug() in /hermes/bosweb26d/b1249/ipg.krugersightingscom/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-notifications.php on line 143

my dashboard doesn’t have a path like your specifying.. mine has the following…
my account, dashboard, notifications, vist … each are a pull down menu with dashboard only having the following….. new post, manage posts, manage comments. so no path there for settings. There is a settings on my account but it is only for my personal settings. So any further idea as to why I don’t have a path like your specifying?

Ahhhh, that is working now, thank you very much @boonebgorges

The only other big thing I think is a problem and could be very confusing to people as I mentioned before, if User A posts on a group activity wall it then appears on their profile activity wall and User B can comment on it there and it will also appear on the group’s activity wall. People might not like that and thinking they were only commenting on their buddy’s wall. However, if User A comments on a blog or forum post, it also appears on their profile activity wall and people can still comment on it, but it then doesn’t appear on the original blog.

I’m sure some people would like it one way or the other, I personally think blog, group, and forum posts should only then appear as notifications on a user’s activity wall without the option for others to comment on so that users are certain where their comments are appearing and avoid confusion and possible embarrassment.

Either way it is just an inconsistency that has confused me at least and might be confusing others as well.

@boonebgorges I’m also using BP 1.5 (fresh out of the box installation) and it does work to an extend, it removes the notifications from the top, but adds them to the bottom of the activity stream like I described on the trac page, and it breaks the reply button until your refresh the page. I’ve tried both pasting your code in my functions.php file and creating a bp-custom.php plugin file. Both have the same results.

This fix, and a comment form on friends pages, would be the only two little tweaks it would take to reproduce a fb experience, right now it is reproducing the twitter experience so it is already copying something anyways, giving both options to BP users would be great. And with what you just suggested Boone people could say “oh they’re just trying to copy digg” which I understand would be frustrating, but it honestly isn’t that big of a deal, you would be copying the system but people would be implementing it to their own little situations and needs which would be completely authentic and new. Like comparing tv stations to youtube, it is copying the idea but at the same time it is completely unique because you are bringing the tv station to the users to create more diverse content.

I fixed it by commenting out all the instances of it. go through each folder within your buddypress plugin and comment out the lines that have

$settings_link = bp_core_get_user_domain( $receiver_user_id ) . bp_get_settings_slug() . ‘/notifications/’;

or similar. I just went through each one and searched for “bp_get_settings_slug”, commenting out everytime it was found.

Hope this helps someone until there is a fix.

Thanks.

@raquel24or I missed you comment, I only get email notifications if you use @ewebber
FB plugin I use is mentioned above
The code for each of the social links are readily available on the relevant websites, I use 3 individual ones, if linkedin have one then you could use that too.

Done.

I got to writing up the ticket and it made sense to try and include other WP notifications like
1. comments approvals [your comment was approved on X blog,
2. drafts being published [ your posts was published ],
3. if admin plugin/theme update alerts [3 plugin updates available]
4. integration of Form submissions…I guess anything WP sends out emails for…

Would also be a good place to record all previous BP Public Notices…and Forum notifications.

basically a user private/personal activity stream for admin/dashboard type stuff.

notifications, private emails, mentions. Not necessarily the content just email that something has happened to the user.

I use SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam.

I have “Comment author must have a previously approved comment” checked.

I have “Hold a comment in the queue if it contains 1 or more links” set.

the author must fill out name and email and they must be registered and logged in to comment.

and I STILL get splogged!!

I have selected that I should be notified when anyone posts a comment but I don’t receive the notification.

With the same settings and same plugins my other sites don’t get splogged so I think it must be something to do with BP.

Help!

Here is some additional information — I don’t really think that it will make much difference — but if so, awesome.

Side note, I did edit my theme’s function.php to hard code in the address of http://totallymi.com but it did not change the fact that the BP activity stream is redirecting to the homepage vs the appropriate member’s stream.

Thanks!

thanks @r-a-y

I’m looking into this plugin and associated comments but have a couple of questions to ask that I cannot see an answer to elsewhere..
Firstly, I only want to show my sites members update posts on the site activity page. Is there a setting in the plugin that will allow me to restrict all other activity posts apart from these.?

Also, I’m not sure where to add the code for the admin update..?

thanks

Kenny

I think still we’re off base with what I originally asked for. But that’s ok! All is welcome.

In the new WP 3.1 Admin Bar, there is a “Comments” tab that lights up when there is a comment on the blog (i think) — I’m refereing to something like that integreated to bp_core_get_notifications_for_user( $bp->loggedin_user->id ) — to let blog owners on a multisite know that there have been comments made to their blog — the link then goes to edit-comments.php so the user can manage those new comments pending.

*now that i’m revisting this thread, I’m remembering someone around here providing a tweak the bp-admin bar that added a flyout from the Blogs menu that did exactly this, I think. where are you thread!

Not quite what I mean. BP has a notifications component that tells you when you’ve been sent a message, when you’ve been friended etc. But it doesn’t tell you if your blog has had comments submitted. That’s what I’m referring to…not notifications by way of email subscription.
