So, is that how the spam or favorite/un favorite buttons work?

Maybe. It will depend if you have JavaScript enabled in your browser. If you do, then Ajax will be working. If you don’t, it’s likely the traditional POST or GET methods will be in operation.

Take a look at this code, I think it may be helpful for you…

I created a function vp_add_group_activity_comments() that hooks to the ‘post_comment’ action, so when a user posts a comment an activity stream item is created and added to their group’s feed.. (on my site users can only be in one group at a time)

It’s all about what you set for the $args array….

function vp_add_group_activity_comments($comment_id){

$comment = get_comment( $comment_id );
GLOBAL $wpdb;
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$user_info = get_userdata( $user_id );

$current_user_group_id = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT group_id FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."bp_groups_members WHERE user_id = '".(int)$user_id."'");

$comment_action = "<a href='".site_url()."/members/".$user_info->user_login."'>".$user_info->first_name." ".$user_info->last_name."</a> posted a comment on <a href='".get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID )."'>".get_the_title($comment->comment_post_ID)."</a>";

// arguments to pass to the bp_activity_add() function
$args = array(
'action'            => $comment_action,                     // The activity action - e.g. "Jon Doe posted an update"
'content'           => $comment->comment_content,                     // Optional: The content of the activity item e.g. "BuddyPress is awesome guys!"
'component'         => 'groups',                  // The name/ID of the component e.g. groups, profile, mycomponent
'type'              => 'activity_update',                  // The activity type e.g. activity_update, profile_updated
'primary_link'      => get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID ),                     // Optional: The primary URL for this item in RSS feeds (defaults to activity permalink)
'user_id'           => $user_id,  // Optional: The user to record the activity for, can be false if this activity is not for a user.
'item_id'           => $current_user_group_id,                  // Optional: The ID of the specific item being recorded, e.g. a blog_id
'secondary_item_id' => $comment->comment_ID,                  // Optional: A second ID used to further filter e.g. a comment_id
'recorded_time'     => bp_core_current_time(), // The GMT time that this activity was recorded
'hide_sitewide'     => 0,                  // Should this be hidden on the sitewide activity stream?
'is_spam'           => 0,                  // Is this activity item to be marked as spam?
);

$add_activity = bp_activity_add($args);

// Update the group's last activity
groups_update_last_activity( $current_user_group_id );

return true;
}  
add_action('comment_post', 'vp_add_group_activity_comments' );

Take a look at the code below to see how I use the post_comment action to hook my function vp_add_group_activity_comments(), which creates an activity stream item when a user posts a comment and adds it to their group’s activity stream… This is just what we are doing for our site, but if you look at the code you should be able to figure out how to do it for your site….

function vp_add_group_activity_comments($comment_id){

$comment = get_comment( $comment_id );
GLOBAL $wpdb;
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$user_info = get_userdata( $user_id );

$current_user_group_id = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT group_id FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."bp_groups_members WHERE user_id = '".(int)$user_id."'");

$comment_action = "<a href='".site_url()."/members/".$user_info->user_login."'>".$user_info->first_name." ".$user_info->last_name."</a> posted a comment on <a href='".get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID )."'>".get_the_title($comment->comment_post_ID)."</a>";

// arguments to pass to the bp_activity_add() function
$args = array(
'action'            => $comment_action,                     // The activity action - e.g. "Jon Doe posted an update"
'content'           => $comment->comment_content,                     // Optional: The content of the activity item e.g. "BuddyPress is awesome guys!"
'component'         => 'groups',                  // The name/ID of the component e.g. groups, profile, mycomponent
'type'              => 'activity_update',                  // The activity type e.g. activity_update, profile_updated
'primary_link'      => get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID ),                     // Optional: The primary URL for this item in RSS feeds (defaults to activity permalink)
'user_id'           => $user_id,  // Optional: The user to record the activity for, can be false if this activity is not for a user.
'item_id'           => $current_user_group_id,                  // Optional: The ID of the specific item being recorded, e.g. a blog_id
'secondary_item_id' => $comment->comment_ID,                  // Optional: A second ID used to further filter e.g. a comment_id
'recorded_time'     => bp_core_current_time(), // The GMT time that this activity was recorded
'hide_sitewide'     => 0,                  // Should this be hidden on the sitewide activity stream?
'is_spam'           => 0,                  // Is this activity item to be marked as spam?
);

$add_activity = bp_activity_add($args);

// Update the group's last activity
groups_update_last_activity( $current_user_group_id );

return true;
}  
add_action('comment_post', 'vp_add_group_activity_comments' );

@atfpodcast – quick chat is working 24/7 on my busiest bp site with 11,000 members.. only thing that screws up that page is when rtmedia has an update the screws with permalinks (messes up all of my static “pages” – have to change and resave.. but that is an issue with rtmedia and permalinks – nothing to do with quickchat.. it works fine and I deploy it on different sites in different ways. I did some write up about it on one of the comment threads I originally linked to in the first response to the original post I think..

anyhow, I think quickchat is the perfect text-chat plugin for a small web site that does not hammer the chat system with hundreds of simultaneous users.

It does chat, avatars, bad words filter, admin can delete stuff – it’s quite the package – I wish the original dev would of answered my emails offering some paid enhancements.. but it’s fine as it is. I did a long write up on one site talking about the drawbacks of ANY chat system that hooks into sql – but I doubt most people will run into those issues until they get more than 20 or so same-time chatters – that’s when you start to look at things to limit sql requests to keep your server from choking – which is usually more of an issue with robots and scrapers and brute force login stuff – comment spam – all that.. guess that’s more of a slightly different discussion – lol.

Have you installed both site on a same or separate WordPress, and same question about BuddyPress ?

Another question about 3500 pending request.

Are you sure these aren’t spammers ? Why are they pending ? Have you setup this behave or is it a sudden amount of registerer ?

Can you activate one account at time ? Or is only bulk activation defect ?

@bobbingwide Existing user accounts should have edit capability, it was only newer accounts where we needed to manage the spam activity, so if you could try editing a page and let us know if you are having issues.

>If moderator could mark a member as spam only via dashboard, i am ok with it.

Due to the current_user_can check, afaik it is not possible via dashboard unless you hack core files.

>I think spam and extended features have been added by buddypress therefore i am asking here.
Sorry, my mistake.

Before adding the ‘spam’ link BP checks to see if
current_user_can( 'edit_user', $user_id )

Members can also be marked as spammers via the front-end.
Take a look at :
\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\settings.php
You might be able to adjust it to check for a cap of your choice.

@nasongo,
Over 16.700 groups with only 2 having 4 members and 99% having 1 member, looks to me like your members are allowed to publish anything without control.

Group content is a huge collection of external links, and of what i’ve seen not very related to your site (The worlds Premier Staffing Solution).

Have you being spammed recently ?

there are several wp plugins that can redirect a user upon login to specific pages.
I can’t put more than two links in a reply without getting moderation held / akistmet spammed.

not sure if / how this works – seen it – never played with it:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-my-home/

might also take a peek if these can updated / adapted..

BuddyPress Cover
Content Aware Sidebars

several others – now do any of these work with the current version of wp / bp ? I don’t know.
Do they work with the default theme and then cause issues if a different theme was used? don’t know.

Do they cause conflicts with other plugins? have not tested.

@ravan – I would think multi-site is the best way to go for this. Use like a new-blog-defaults plugin to auto make their new sites a certain theme and have pre-populated content to make it easy.

Of course you would setup a single site blog, give each new user editor privelages and manually create a page for each person.. I did that once.. I think the way multi-site seperates things is a little less messy – and a “full blown multi-site” is not that big a deal these days – back in the early wpmu days it was a lot – these days adding the couple lines of code and telling wp to put the new blogs -err “sites” into a subfolder is not much to deal with.

I have found as long as you use a blog defaults plugin to set a bunch of settings for each one automatically (users must be logged in to comment) – stuff like that – you can save server resources and not have to worry too much about users who are not paying attention to comments spam and the like.

This works for me

Your anti spam not working use stop spam control plugin

Group organizer plugin maybe?

Also use anti spam plugin for registration

@kakumeionline – if your post had three links in it – it will be held for moderation and not appear unless someone approves it.

If your post did not have three or more links in it – then I think akismet has flagged your ip addy as a spammer perhaps – and it got sent to the spam box.

Sometimes adding certain words like “how to add a field for users to choose their S3X, and if they are L3sbian, G@y Trans – will keep a post from saving I think.

Random thoughts from an end user – I don’t really know how the internals of this BP dot org really work (not a forum moderator or anything)

So these are my guesses
