BuddyPress.org

Regarding notifications for activity comments, see this open ticket:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5395

There is a plugin for this but you have to download it directly from the site (it is not in the wordpress plugin directory. At least it wasn’t via my searches).

BuddyPress Activity Comment Notifier

I can’t believe that activity notifications on comments is not a core functionality. I have submitted a feature request for this.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5430#ticket

@andrewgtibbetts where di you end up with this? Would love blog comments to show up as notifications.

Thanks @mercime for your quick answer.
But i’m a french novice and i’m not understanding very well what to do in the https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5299 topic.

Should I install thos patches:
5299.01.patch​ and 5299.02.patch​

or should I follow indications in lastest johnjamesjacoby’s comment:
In 7689:
Notifications:
Add templates and parts for bp-default theme. Also modify home.php to include notifications.php.

or should I do the both ?

Sorry for asking but no access to notfications is important for my users 😉
Alos do you have an idea when the next update will be released ?
Thanks.

Can you confirm that you are able to receive any email from your server at all? We need to know if your server is the problem or if there is something wrong with your website. The only way to tell is to see if you can send yourself an email from the server like a comment notification or a form being filled out type test.

If you’re 100% sure it’s something to do with the website, then you need to take a look at your server logs (if using apache check access_log and error_log) and see if anything pops up during a new user sign up.

What is your server configuration? What type of system? Have you checked if there is a bottleneck anywhere? Have you tried rebooting your server?

Just some thoughts. Check the error log if you can!

@henrywright-1 Nope, did not get notifications for @ mentions in blog post and blog comment. Trac ticket and patches welcome 🙂

hi @jaxdestroyer,

play with these example snippets (goes into theme’s functions.php) and see what you can do with it.

Good luck!

/* remove the comment menu */

function bpfr_admin_bar_render() {
	global $wp_admin_bar;
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('comments'); // change to your need
	}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'bpfr_admin_bar_render' ); */

/* add links/menus to the admin bar */

function bpfr_admin_bar_render() {
	global $wp_admin_bar;
	$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
	'parent' => 'new-content', // use 'false' for a root menu, or pass the ID of the parent menu
	'id' => 'new_media', // link ID, defaults to a sanitized title value
	'title' => __('Media'), // link title
	'href' => admin_url( 'media-new.php') // name of file
	'meta' => false // array of any of the following options: array( 'html' => '', 'class' => '', 'onclick' => '', target => '', title => '' );
	));
	}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'bpfr_admin_bar_render' ); 

/* another example */
function bpfr_custom_myaccount_nav( $wp_admin_bar ) {
global $bp;

	// remove the Settings item and the attached sub menu
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-settings');
	
    // add My notifications settings as separate item
   $args = array(
		'id' => 'my-account-settings-notifications',
		'title' => 'Notifications Settings',
	//	'parent' => 'my-account',
		'parent' => 'my-account-messages',
	//	'meta' => array('class' => 'menupop')	
		'meta' => array('class' => 'ab_sub_wrapper')		
		); 
    $wp_admin_bar->add_node($args); 	

}

BUMP
I have same problem

Now I’ve put this in, but it still doesn’t work out:

‘//get the thread permalink for activity
function ac_notifier_activity_get_permalink2( $activity_id, $activity_obj = false ) {
global $bp;

if ( !$activity_obj )
$activity_obj = new BP_Activity_Activity( $activity_id );

if ( ‘activity_comment’ == $activity_obj->type )
$link = bp_get_activity_directory_permalink(). ‘p/’ . $activity_obj->item_id . ‘/’;
else
$link = bp_get_activity_directory_permalink() . ‘p/’ . $activity_obj->id . ‘/’;

return apply_filters( ‘ac_notifier_activity_get_permalink2′, $link );
}’

Here’s what I did meanwhile:

1. removed all those junkcode, I had originally in 😉

2. found that display-issue in the above + corrected it in the code, which seemed responsible for no text/ no links being given (I inserted the missing a-href):
return apply_filters( ‘bp_activity_multiple_new_likes_notification’, ‘‘ . $text . ‘‘);
… but this also did not bring up the link + text …

3. wonder about that line:
$link=ac_notifier_activity_get_permalink2( $activity_id );
…removed the “2”, because with that in, my toolbar disappears…
Should that be noticed in the ac_notifier too, with the need to keep the “2”?

4. any notifications (even the live-notification-popup) still only appear on the likers-side, still not yet on the liked-user-profile!

So this is, what it looks like atm:

function bp_like_setup_globals() {
global $bp, $current_blog;
$bp->bp_like=new stdClass();
$bp->bp_like->id = 'bp-like';
$bp->bp_like->slug = 'bp_like';
$bp->bp_like->notification_callback = 'bp_like_format_notifications';
$bp->active_components[$bp->bp_like->slug] = $bp->bp_like->id;
do_action( 'bp_like_setup_globals' );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_globals', 'bp_like_setup_globals' );

function bp_like_format_notifications( $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items,$format='string') {
global $bp;
$glue='';
$user_names=array();
$activity = new BP_Activity_Activity( $activity_id );
$link=ac_notifier_activity_get_permalink( $activity_id );

//si c’est le posteur d’origine, dites que vous êtes, d’autre dire de% s après
if($activity->user_id==$bp->loggedin_user->id){
$text=__("your");
$also="";
}
else{
$text=sprintf(__("%s’s"), bp_core_get_user_displayname ($activity->user_id));//quelqu’un
$also=" also";
}
$ac_action='new_bp_like_'.$item_id;

if($action==$ac_action){
// if ( (int)$total_items > 1 ) {
// $users=ac_notifier_find_involved_persons($activity_id);
$total_user=$count=count($users);//montrent de nombreux utilisateurs uniques ont commenté
if($count>2){
$users=array_slice($users, $count-2);//simplement indiquer le nom de deux affiches, le repos doit être aussi et ‘n’ autre a également commenté
$count=$count-2;
$glue=", ";
}
else if($total_user==2)
$glue=" xxxx1xxxx ";//si il ya 2 utilisateurs uniques, disons x et y commenté

foreach((array)$users as $user_id)
$user_names[]=bp_core_get_user_displayname($user_id);

if(!empty($user_names))
$commenting_users=join($glue, $user_names);

if($total_user>2)
$text=$commenting_users." xxxxxxxx2xxxxxxx ".$count." xxxx3xxxx".$also." xxxxxxxx4xxxxxxx on ".$text." post";//peut-on changer la poste à quelque chose de significatif en fonction de l’élément d’activité?
else
$text=$commenting_users.$also." xxxxxx5xxxxx on ".$text." post";

if($format=='string')
return apply_filters( 'bp_activity_multiple_new_likes_notification', '<a href="'.$link.'">'.$text.'</a>');
else{
return array('link'=>$link,
'text'=>$text);
}
return false;
}

}

any suggestions?

thx in advance!

I am helping Kathryn with this issue, here are the details for the installation.

The original programmer for the site vanished, so the configuration is the way it is. Not asking anybody to solve the problem on our behalf, just opening the issue to more eyes. All help and all input is greatly appreciated.

Wordpress: 3.5.2
Buddypress: 1.7.3
PHP: 5.3 (I suspect this might be the culprit.)

@mercine he is saying the link in the email is wrong. it’s not linking to the activity comments on activity but the actual forums reply. Somebody saw his forums reply on the activity page added a comment to it there but the email notification is pointing to the forums not the activity.

is there a way to change that?

Hello,

I have a requirement that, once user reply to activity comment. It should notify other users who are replied to that comment.
I found this http://en.support.wordpress.com/comment-notification-email/ plugin. But the problem is, it will notify only parent comment user. I want to notify all users .

@Chouf1, that’s my blog you’re linking to. I am not sure if they added Throttling to the new Buddypress version. I opened a ticket months ago, the milestone has been set to: version 1.7 to Future Release https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3732. This is a bit frustrating since Throttling makes for great spam control.

@tifire Go to /bp-friends/bp-friends-functions.php in your Buddypress installation and change the friends_add_friend function to the following:

function friends_add_friend( $initiator_userid, $friend_userid, $force_accept = false ) {
	global $bp;

	$friendship = new BP_Friends_Friendship;

	if ( (int) $friendship->is_confirmed )
		return true;

	$friendship->initiator_user_id = $initiator_userid;
	$friendship->friend_user_id    = $friend_userid;
	$friendship->is_confirmed      = 0;
	$friendship->is_limited        = 0;
	$friendship->date_created      = bp_core_current_time();
	
	/**
	 * BuddyPress Friend Request Throttling
	 *
	 * Set a throttle period for user friendship requests
	 *
	 * @author Patrick Saad
	*/
	
	global $wpdb;
	$qry = "SELECT date_created FROM wp_bp_friends where initiator_user_id = '".$initiator_userid."' order by date_created desc limit 1";
    $user_friend_requests = $wpdb->get_results( $qry );
	
	if ($user_friend_requests)
	{
		$latest_user_request = strtotime($user_friend_requests[0]->date_created, time());
		$time_since_latest_request = time() - $latest_user_request;
		
		// that's 2 minutes
		$throttle_period = 60 * 2;
		
		// if the last request was over 5 minutes ago, allow it
		
		if ($time_since_latest_request < $throttle_period)
			return false;
	}
	// End of BuddyPress Friend Request Throttling //

	if ( $force_accept )
		$friendship->is_confirmed = 1;

	if ( $friendship->save() ) {

		if ( !$force_accept ) {
			// Add the on screen notification
			bp_core_add_notification( $friendship->initiator_user_id, $friendship->friend_user_id, $bp->friends->id, 'friendship_request' );

			// Send the email notification
			friends_notification_new_request( $friendship->id, $friendship->initiator_user_id, $friendship->friend_user_id );

			do_action( 'friends_friendship_requested', $friendship->id, $friendship->initiator_user_id, $friendship->friend_user_id );
		} else {
			// Update friend totals
			friends_update_friend_totals( $friendship->initiator_user_id, $friendship->friend_user_id, 'add' );

			do_action( 'friends_friendship_accepted', $friendship->id, $friendship->initiator_user_id, $friendship->friend_user_id );
		}

		return true;
	}

	return false;
}

This will prevent a user from sending a friendship request to someone if their recent friendship request date was less than, say 2 minutes (change the $throttle_period variable to modify this time)

Just gave this a fresh test, works in Buddypress 1.7.2. This same concept can be applied to comments, groups, etc, you just have to find the functions and play around.

@bphelp

You tell me! Has your activity stream kicked into life? Has this post/comment been sent as notification?

I also need it very much. I have found all threads on internet. There’s still no existing one plugin.

Has @Chouf1 not answered that question on the lst comment on this thread he linked to?:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-split-out-buddypress-notifications-drop-down-items-to-their-own-top-level/

Those various references should point you to the functions you need to work with.

I installed this plugin and now I am not having this problem anymore , just to let you know
