*bump* help please

Have done some further digging and keep hitting the 404 issue.

The same issue is effected when adding a user as a friend, joining a group and favoriting.

Have created a quick and dirty button generator function that can be used throughout this WordPress theme.

However with the dead landing page these will never work. Are there any other approaches considered a best practice?

Thanks for the heads up, guess that’s all the clarification was needing.

Do you know who worked on the activity streams? Maybe they’ll be able to share some inverse knowledge.

Will take a look for this item in trac, and post solution if found.

Wondering if we can migrate the fore-mentioned into a single-file.php temporarily and set the activity entry form action to the current page and call accordingly? (Which totally goes against the DRY principles, jquery.delegate has its bugs too. ahhhh)

Will give it a whirl tomorrow.

@kalengi – Hello, this is a child theme so the file structure adheres to anything in bp-default.
So… accessing the stream via the url .

site.com/activity

using the file

theme/activity/index.php

Calling the loop from index.php

theme/activity/activity-loop.php

Calling an entry from within the loop

theme/activity/entry.php

Omitting header.php the full loop looks like this.

`

`

That’s being sent to the 404.

@allwest – I think this is a known issue, it’s listed over in Trac https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3705

Dude, thank you thank you! This is ace.

Followed your train of thought to the actions and methods involved. Applied the filters as advised in core.

`global $bp;

if(!is_user_logged_in()) :

bp_core_add_message( __(‘You must be logged in to post a comment’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’);

else :

if(!check_admin_referer(‘new_activity_comment’, ‘_wpnonce_new_activity_comment’)) :

bp_core_add_message(__(‘There was an error posting that reply, please try again.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’);

else :

$activity_id = apply_filters(‘bp_activity_post_comment_activity_id’, _POST);
$content = apply_filters(‘bp_activity_post_comment_content’, _POST);

$comment_id = bp_activity_new_comment(array(
‘content’ => $content,
‘activity_id’ => $activity_id,
‘parent_id’ => $parent_id));

if(empty($content)) :
bp_core_add_message(__(‘Please add a comment.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’);
bp_core_redirect(wp_get_referer() . ‘#ac-form-‘ . $activity_id);
endif;

if(empty($comment_id)) :
bp_core_add_message(__(‘There was an error posting that reply, please try again.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’);
bp_core_redirect(wp_get_referer() . ‘#ac-form-‘ . $activity_id);
else :
bp_core_add_message(__(‘Comment posted successfully’, ‘buddypress’));
bp_core_redirect(wp_get_referer() . ‘#ac-form-‘ . $activity_id);
endif;

endif;

endif;`

As this is a theme edit and not core, decided to change the syntax style also. Probably grind against those who work with themes but wouldn’t say my style is ugly.

Thanks a lot man, this is really good.

Can I buy you a beer?

If you are using SEO as a metric against using an entirely dynamic system like BuddyPress i suggest you re-consider that metric.

However the issue you have in regards to the 404 is a known issue and the code above will fix activity stream commenting. @kalengi submitted this fix for a “without javascript use case”.

To fix commenting running with the above example do the following. (Just re-iterating @kalengi here)

In the folder /wp-content/themes/your-theme/activity/

Create the file reply.php

`<?php
global $bp;

if(!is_user_logged_in()) :

bp_core_add_message( __(‘You must be logged in to post a comment’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’);

else :

if(!check_admin_referer(‘new_activity_comment’, ‘_wpnonce_new_activity_comment’)) :

bp_core_add_message(__(‘There was an error posting that reply, please try again.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’);

else :
// This line should match up with your form field names in entry.php
$activity_id = apply_filters(‘bp_activity_post_comment_activity_id’, _POST);
// This line should match up with your form field names in entry.php
$content = apply_filters(‘bp_activity_post_comment_content’, _POST);

$comment_id = bp_activity_new_comment(array(
‘content’ => $content,
‘activity_id’ => $activity_id,
‘parent_id’ => $parent_id));

if(empty($content)) :
bp_core_add_message(__(‘Please add a comment.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’);
bp_core_redirect(wp_get_referer() . ‘#ac-form-‘ . $activity_id);
endif;

if(empty($comment_id)) :
bp_core_add_message(__(‘There was an error posting that reply, please try again.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’);
bp_core_redirect(wp_get_referer() . ‘#ac-form-‘ . $activity_id);
else :
bp_core_add_message(__(‘Comment posted successfully’, ‘buddypress’));
bp_core_redirect(wp_get_referer() . ‘#ac-form-‘ . $activity_id);
endif;

endif;

endif;`

Within that file you should have code that resembles the following. (If you don’t know how to alter accordingly, you need to further assistance.

/wp-content/themes/your-theme/activity/reply.php

Then in /wp-content/themes/your-theme/functions.php

Add this code.

`function bp_activity_action_add_activity_comment()
{
global $bp;

// Not viewing activity or action is not delete
if(!bp_is_activity_component() || !bp_is_current_action(‘reply’)) :
return false;
endif;

locate_template(array(‘activity/reply.php’), true);

bp_core_redirect(wp_get_referer());
}
add_action(‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_add_activity_comment’);`

If you then want to add AJAX to this code you could use jQuery and listen for the form submission, onClick or onSubmit.

You could then run the jQuery AJAX method with GET as the type and the data would be the form fields from the form submitted.

jQuery will then return for you the return values within reply.php

Short of writing it specifically for you, that’s what you need.
