get_post_meta not working in bp_before_activity_add_parse_args

    I have several custom post types registered that I am adding into the activity stream. I am trying to use bp_before_activity_add_parse_args() to customise the content displayed in the activity stream.

    When trying to capture custom fields from the post to add alongside the post title, it doesn’t work.

    However if I save a draft of the post first then it does work.

    My code is as below:

    /* function to pull content into activity feed from post */
function record_cpt_link_activity_content( $cpt ) {

	$meta = get_post_meta($cpt['secondary_item_id']);
	
	/*print '<pre>';
	print_r($meta);
	print '</pre>';
	exit;*/

	/*
	
	// the above array $meta is empty (UNLESS I SAVE A DRAFT FIRST!) and displays the below:
	
	Array
	(
		[_edit_lock] => Array
			(
				[0] => 1491208194:1
			)

		[_edit_last] => Array
			(
				[0] => 1
			)

	)
	*/

	$cpt['content'] = '<br /><a href="'.get_post_meta($cpt['secondary_item_id'], 'url', true).'">'.get_the_title($cpt['secondary_item_id']).'</a>';
     
 
	return $cpt;
}
add_filter('bp_before_activity_add_parse_args', 'record_cpt_link_activity_content');

    It seems like a timing issue.

    Not that this topic documents the exact same problem however I couldn’t reply there as it’s closed to new replies…

    I’ve managed to work around this by using the bp_get_activity_content_body filter.

    However I’m sure I should be able to use bp_before_activity_add_parse_args, as the newly created custom post id exists at that point in the secondary_item_id array key…

    /* functions to pull content into activity feed from post */
function record_cpt_activity_content( $cpt ) {

	// get_post_title($cpt['secondary_item_id']) works.
	// get_post_meta($cpt['secondary_item_id'], 'YOUR_META_KEY_HERE', true) doesn't...

        
	if ('YOUR_CUSTOM_POST_TYPE' == $cpt['type']) {
		// need to add at least a space here to the content otherwise the filter bp_get_activity_content_body doesn't seem to work...
		$cpt['content'] = ' ';  
 	}

	return $cpt;
}
add_filter('bp_before_activity_add_parse_args', 'record_cpt_activity_content');

function filter_cpt_activity_content( $content, $activity ) {

	if ( isset( $activity->secondary_item_id ) && 'YOUR_CUSTOM_POST_TYPE' == $activity->type) {
		$current_post = $activity->secondary_item_id;
			
		// trim any white space added by record_cpt_activity_content()
		$content = trim($content);
			
		// add in our custom content
		$content .= get_post_meta($current_post, 'YOUR_META_KEY_HERE', true).'">'; 
	}

	return $content;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', 'filter_cpt_activity_content', 1, 2 );

    Obviously replace YOUR_CUSTOM_POST_TYPE and YOUR_META_KEY_HERE.
