I think you are telling me to add add a function such as this:

function bp_custom_record_activity() {
 
    $activity_id = bp_activity_add( array(
        'id'		    => '',
        'action'            => '',
        'content'           => '',
        'component'         => '',
        'type'              => '',
        'primary_link'	    => '',
        'user_id'	    => '',
        'item_id'	    => '',
        'secondary_item_id' => '',
        'recorded_time'	    => '',
        'hide_sitewide'	    => '',
    ) );
 
    return $activity_id;
}

And then call that function onChange but I am not sure which params I need to include and what the value of those parameters needs to be. I read the bp_activity_add codex but I’m still a little confused.

bp_activity_add()

If I have the following checkbox, what values should I use for params such as item_id, action, ID, etc:

<div id="bd-button">   
<form name="bdchkbox">
<label>  
  <input type="checkbox" hidden="hidden" name="bdchk" id="bdchk" onChange="set_check(this);submit()"><span id="bdlbl">Featured</span> 
</label>
</form>
</div>

Anyone? Seems like something that many others would have come across…

No I can’t get any support…

Hey Coffeywebdev,

Thank you for the reply and info. I understand what code I need to use to add an activity but what I can’t figure out is how to implement a button click into this code. I can create an activity for a new post or comment but I cannot get the button action to properly register as an activity.

When the button is clicked it creates user meta in the database named “Featured” can I use that in the add activity function? So instead of $comment = get_comment( $comment_id ); it would be something like $activity = get_user_meta ($user_id, 'featured') ?

Hey Coffeywebdev,

I really appreciate your help! Here is what I am trying to do:

I have a checkbox in the members profile (it’s not a XProfile field) that when clicked makes their profile “Featured” for a while. When the user checks the box it creates a meta entry named “Featured” in the database. Whenever a user checks their checkbox I want it to register as an activity saying something along the lines of “user’s profile is now featured!”.

Here is the code I am using to display the checkbox:

<div id="featured-button">   
<form name="feat_chkbox">
<label>  
  <input type="checkbox" hidden="hidden" name="feat_chk" id="feat_chk"><span id="featlbl">Featured Member</span> 
</label>
</form>
</div>

I took out all of the onClick functions to avoid confusion. I am guessing I need to create a new onClick event which calls to the bd_activity_add() function, but I don’t know how to build that function. I have tried multiple codes using the following layout:

function add_featured_activity(){
global $wpdb, $bp;

$user_id = get_current_user_id();

$args = array(
'action'            => 
'content'           => 
'component'         => 
'type'              => 
'primary_link'      => 
'user_id'           => 
'item_id'           => 
'secondary_item_id' => 
);

$add_activity = bp_activity_add($args);

add_action('comment_post', 'add_featured_activity' );

But I must not be using the correct args or something. Do you know what args need to be used to register this activity using either the checkbox click event or the meta data created by the checkbox?

Thx!

Any thoughts @coffeywebdev?
