@prometheus-fire I’m a long-time WP guy, but brand new to BP. I did find an example of adding a custom activity message at http://bp-tricks.com/snippets/adding-a-new-activity-stream-entry-when-a-user-changes-his-avatar/

Hope that helps.

@dude this keeps happening to people and i’m thinking its because sites have been hacked. Nobody has ever come up with a solution. I cant replicate it to find one. It’s probably a hacked site, if it’s not the browser saving info.

Might be a malicious plugin.

thanks for the reply guys! chances are i been hacked then coz the admin on my site was changed too plus this user has registered with dozens of fake accounts even though verifcation hasnt been approved

to be honest, i really cant be doing with all this constant upgrading, changing this and checking that, its all becoming a headache. still.. you get what you pay for i suppose so its swings and roundabouts as they say. Annoys me that you put something cool together for people to connect and all they wanna do is critisize it and tear it apart. some people eh?

I don’t mean to be a pain but this is a shocking example of a thread being hijacked. Where are the moderators on this? Some of the responses are from long time members who should know better too. The forums here are bad enough as it is without allowing threads to go off topic like this.

Anyway to get this back ‘on topic’…

There do not seem to be any clean and current examples for custom post types generating a custom message.

Seeing as CPT’s are so popular these days this would seem like a very cool piece of code to have.

A single snippet that would allow you to…

1) turn on activity stream messages from a custom post type
2) turn on the commenting for that custom post type to appear in the activity stream (BTW: this doesn’t seem to work in the current release at all)
3) set the custom activity stream message template for that post type

4) be able to do it for more than one post type elegantly

Has anyone got the guts of a function pulled together for the above? (1&2 are simple enough – I have posted a code snippet in another thread – but like I said above commenting doesn’t seem to work can anyone else confirm this and I’ll raise a ticket?)

I think I got the right direction for you:

In bp-custom.php add:

`/Change wording in Activity Stream and use post_type iso of ‘post’
add_filter( ‘bp_blogs_activity_new_post_action’, ‘im_activity_content’, 2, 10 );

function im_activity_content($activity_content, $post, $post_permalink){

$activity_content = sprintf( __( ‘%s submitted a new ‘.$post->post_type.’: %s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int)$post->post_author ), ‘‘ . $post->post_title . ‘‘ );
$activity_content .= bp_create_excerpt( $post->post_content, 25 );

return $activity_content;
}`

@prometheus-fire can activity stream integrated with tweet and facebook feed and how to do that ?

Hi @prometheus-fire ,

Thanks for your reply. But i don’t get this to work with my site. My php-skills are btw not very good…

But: i find a Solution. For blog-posts i use this:

  function bbg_record_my_custom_post_type_posts( $post_types ) {
      $post_types = array ('it_movies', 'it_video_games', 'it_preisalarm', 'post'); // Hier die Slugs der Custom Post Types eintragen, bei denen Erwähnungen im Beitrag selbst berücksichtigt werden
      return $post_types;
  }
  add_filter( 'bp_blogs_record_post_post_types', 'bbg_record_my_custom_post_type_posts' );

And for comments i use this:

  function bbg_record_my_custom_post_type_comments( $post_types ) {
      $post_types = array ('it_movies', 'it_video_games', 'it_preisalarm', 'post');  // Hier die Slugs der Custom Post Types eintragen, bei denen Erwähnungen in den Kommentaren berücksichtigt werden
      return $post_types;
  }
  add_filter( 'bp_blogs_record_comment_post_types', 'bbg_record_my_custom_post_type_comments' );

And it works, but without custom messages. Anyway – now it works and for the Future, i wait for the buddypress-update. 😉

hmm nevermind the above post after re-reading it i have realised that line 62 is to reflect the name i give the function, but i still cant get it to work, i will explain what steps ive taken please tell me if im doing it wrong…

i have renamed this bit at the top

// begin record products to BP activity stream
function product_record_activity( $post_id, $post, $user_id = false ) {

renamed it from…. function product_record_activity …. to this…… function test_test_test

am i right so far?

next i have renamed this on line 19…

/* Don’t record this if it’s a regular post */
if ( $post->post_type != ‘product’ ) return false;

and where it says ‘product’ i added my custom post type name…… am i still right?

then on line 28 this bit…

$activity_action = sprintf( __( ‘%1$s added or updated the product %2$s, in the store:

i change the added or updated the product and in the store to whatever text i want……. am i still doing it right?

then the last step at the bottom i change line 62 to the name i made earlier which was function test_test_test

so am i still right?

then i upload the buddypress custom php to my plugins folder via my ft p….. i then go and check my site and post something in my custom post and guess what? nothing happens!

now i dont understand what im doing wrong and if this code still works or not? if it doesnt could you please give us your current solution please prometheus? or if im doing something wrong will someone please tell me? because i can get the code @neo-tronic pasted above to work perfectly and show custom post types fine in the activity stream when posting in my custom posts…but the thing is with that code is it does’nt let users comment on the post from the activity stream?

can someone please help me out here ….ty 🙂
