BuddyPress.org

Just a suggestion though,

A plugin should not be needed for this functionality, this should be a native BP feature IMO.

Thanks for the heads up Ray.

That did indeed fix the problem!

I mean the notifications that appear on the buddypress bar. When someone comments/replies to my status updates on activity I do not get a notification. However I do get notifications for private messages, friendship requests and mentions.

Hopefully that made it clearer to understand my problem.

Thanks for the reply Shane.
The problem I’m having is reconciling the params that WP post comments use and the params that BP activity comments use.
The simplest route (that I can glean) to get the functionality I want is to programmatically insert an activity post comment every time a comment is made on the actual post.
So, how do I grab the necessary params from a regular post comment and pass them to a function that will create an activity post comment?
I can (hopefully) figure out how to redirect the activity post comment to link to the post and not the activity item once I get this initial part working.
(The reason I think faking an activity comment is so that I can utilize preexisting functions that find all the involved members that are commenting on the post, which only exist in BP activity and not in WP—correct me if I’m wrong)

Thanks modemlooper.
I have been looking though the code for over a month now and I’m getting nowhere.
I am trying to modify the “BuddyPress Activity Comment Notifier” plugin to do what I want—it takes activity update comments and makes a screen notification for them.
This is exactly what I want to do but for post comments, not activity update comments.
A possible solution that I’m stuck on is how to trigger an activity comment when someone creates a post comment.
Well, I’m stuck on everything; even how to approach this, and most likely, I’m going about this all wrong.
If any kind soul can take a minute to provide details, it would be greatly appreciated—otherwise it might be nuts to the client.

What if instead of sending an email I just want a “New Comments Available” logo to show up next to the link that I have to the activity stream? Currently I have a page where I have various links to other pages. It looks something like this:

-Calendar of Events
-Group Wall “NEW COMMENTS AVAILABLE”
-Documents

So the link that says Group Wall is really directing the user to the activity stream. So anytime there is new activity available you would get that message. How easy would this be to implement?

Roger,

Thanks for the update. And yes, I want to to do the second option. My website does not have much activity. The activity stream is used almost like a forum where people post questions or leave comments. However, when someone posts a question, none of the members ever know. So the questions go unanswered. I will look into the action hooks that you mentioned. Are there any tutorials on how to use action hooks?

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Ed

Wow! Thank you very much! As far as I can tell that worked!

digging into the error log scared me

Anyone else have ideas on this email issue? The messages are not being sent by BuddyPress as far as I can tell. I’ve searched the maillog file and nothing shows up in the WHM mail delivery reports.

Why is BuddyPress not sending the @mention and comment notifications?

Hey @djpaul any updates on this? Other ideas or places to look for the cause?

I’ve looked in /var/log/maillog (on linux) and don’t see evidence that the messages have been sent.

Should I look somewhere else?

Hi @mercime – thank you for your reply.

I think I wasn’t so clear. I want to receive notifications but I wouldn’t like to be notified when someone else reply a comment where I was mentioned. That’s make sense?

E.g. @userx post a comment mentioning me. Every time someone reply HIS comment I got an notification.

I would like to be notified when someone mention me or reply an update mine but wouldn’t like to be notified when someone reply an update where I was mentioned.

Any ideas on that? Thanks!
