BuddyPress.org

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with my Demo Data Plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/demo-data-creator/) in Buddypress 1.2. The functions that add dummy wire messages no longer work, and looking for the string “wire” in the BP source gives very few results. I guess it’s all rolled into the activity system now, yes?

So my question is: can I use thebp_activity_add function to add wire messages to groups and profiles? The defaults for this function are:

$defaults = array(

'id' => false, // Pass an existing activity ID to update an existing entry.



'action' => '', // The activity action - e.g. "Jon Doe posted an update"

'content' => '', // Optional: The content of the activity item e.g. "BuddyPress is awesome guys!"



'component' => false, // The name/ID of the component e.g. groups, profile, mycomponent

'type' => false, // The activity type e.g. activity_update, profile_updated

'primary_link' => '', // Optional: The primary URL for this item in RSS feeds (defaults to activity permalink)



'user_id' => $bp->loggedin_user->id, // Optional: The user to record the activity for, can be false if this activity is not for a user.

'item_id' => false, // Optional: The ID of the specific item being recorded, e.g. a blog_id

'secondary_item_id' => false, // Optional: A second ID used to further filter e.g. a comment_id

'recorded_time' => gmdate( "Y-m-d H:i:s" ), // The GMT time that this activity was recorded

'hide_sitewide' => false // Should this be hidden on the sitewide activity stream?

);

So to add a dummy wire message to a group I’d use:

bp_activity_add( array(

"action"=>"Posted a Wire message",

"content"=>"Lorem ipsum...",

"type"=>"groups",

"item_id"=>[ the group ID ]

);

If anyone uses this plugin and can help with any other bugs I’d be very grateful.
