Cool plugin! I’ll have to play around with this at some point.

Anyway, back to your question.

Look around the BP code and find anything that says “do_action”; this is where you can hook your functions into a BP action.

For instance, to add 10 CubePoints when creating a group, add the following to your theme’s functions.php or /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php.

function my_bp_create_group_add_cppoints() {

if( function_exists('cp_alterPoints') && is_user_logged_in() ){

cp_alterPoints(cp_currentUser(), 10);

cp_log('User created a group -- +10 points', cp_currentUser(), 10, 1);

}

}

add_action('groups_group_create_complete','my_bp_create_group_add_cppoints');

In this case, we hooked the cp_alterPoints() and cp_log() functions to the groups_group_create_complete hook found in /buddypress/bp-groups.php.

In the next little while, I’m going to try and add a bit of documentation to the codex.

Every step, huh? Looks like I hooked into the wrong group action

I modified the post above to the correct action now.

Functions.php is fine.

I’m going to let you try this on your own

Don’t worry! I’ll give you some hints.

Create a function like the above and then find the appropriate BP action to hook your function to.

Look in /buddypress/bp-activity.php. Do a search for “do_action”.

If you want more hints, the BP actions are:

– bp_activity_posted_update

– bp_activity_comment_posted

You might want to subtract points if someone deletes their own activity as well.

inside the function you could add

if ( !is_site_admin() )

return false;

you should package up all the small updates into a simple plugin – this sounds very cool to add.

very useful

one question tho, i dont want my users going to the dashboard to see points..

how do i get to display a buddypress displayed users points, it currently only displays a logged in users points no matter wat page ur on when using cp_displaypoints..

anyone know how to do this???

Assuming that the BP-Likes plugin has hooks… then yes, otherwise no.

Cool! Didn’t know about that!

Learn something new everyday!

@tomteduck – where are the like hooks??

I can do the rest, but looked and could find no hooks

Hey Tosh,

Never made a plugin myself so can’t help you in that matter. But thanks a lot for making the effort, your plugin will be very useful once its ready.

Hey Tosh,

Do let us know when the plugin is available for download in the directory. Thanks!

Go Tosh, go !!!
