Is this the function (from p2/inc/ajax.php) that handles data from the P2 post form?:

function save_post() {

check_ajax_referer( 'ajaxnonce', '_inline_edit' );

if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {

die('<p>'.__('Error: not logged in.', 'p2').'</p>');

}



$post_id = $_POST['post_ID'];

$post_id = substr( $post_id, strpos( $post_id, '-' ) + 1 );



if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id )) {

die('<p>'.__('Error: not allowed to edit post.', 'p2').'</p>');

}



$new_post_content	= $_POST['content'];



// preserve custom "big" titles

$post = get_post( $post_id );



if ( !$post ) die('-1');



$clean_title = str_replace( '…', '', $post->post_title );



if( strpos($post->post_content, $clean_title ) !== 0 ) {

$post_title = $post->post_title;

} else {

$post_title = prologue_title_from_content( $new_post_content );

}



$post = wp_update_post( array(

'post_title'	=> $post_title,

'post_content'	=> $new_post_content,

'post_modified'	=> current_time('mysql'),

'post_modified_gmt'	=> current_time('mysql', 1),

'ID' => $post_id

));



$post = get_post( $post );



echo apply_filters( 'the_content', $post->post_content );

}

How does this function know which blog to store the data in?!

I guess my problem has to do this:

check_ajax_referer( 'ajaxnonce', '_inline_edit' );

What does that do?

There is also a function new_post() that has this:

if( 'POST' != $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] || empty( $_POST['action'] ) || $_POST['action'] != 'new_post' ) {

die('-1');

}

That has to do with matching referrers etc, right?

Any pointers and ideas appreciated…

I’ve now integrated P2 by adding the theme to the /bp-groupblog/groupblog folder, editing these lines in P2’s functions.php and copying P2’s index.php main code to Group Blog’s blog-latest.php – with some cleanups…:

define( 'P2_INC_PATH',  WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-groupblog/groupblog/inc' );

define( 'P2_INC_URL', get_bloginfo('url').'/wp-content/plugins/bp-groupblog/groupblog/inc' );

define( 'P2_JS_PATH',  WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-groupblog/groupblog/js' );

define( 'P2_JS_URL', get_bloginfo('url').'/wp-content/plugins/bp-groupblog/groupblog/js' );

It works very nice without Ajax, by disabling js in that last line. The P2’s post-form then posts to the correct blog. That is already a huge user interface improvement; group members don’t have to go into wp-admin to post on the group blog.

Unfortunately when you fire up the .js Ajax magic, posts still end up on the main blog. So the problem is somewhere in the Javascript;

– the blog ID (?) does not make it into the javascript?

– or the javascript has a default blog ID somewhere?

– or the javascript identifies the blog based on the URL where it comes from, which is a group page, so it adds the post to the default URL instead?

Which hypothesis is right? Or something else entirely? Where should I look to fix it? Probably somewhere in P2’s javascript files.

Any help very much appreciated!

EDIT:

Without Ajax only content from the first tab in P2’s post-form, Status Update, is posted. If you use the Blog Post tab it forwards to the blog home page, but the post isn’t there.

Posts also end up in Uncategorized, instead of the Status category. Comments on all posts are closed, can’t figure out why or how to turn them back on.

Tried Posthaste again. Got it to work this time – I had the tag in the wrong place…

But it basically has the same problem as P2; it doesn’t work on the group home page (with Group Blog), only on a regular blog index page.

I suspect the problem is mismatching referrers or something like that. If anyone has any clue how to fix that or what to look for, please let me know.

@avatarrocks, integrating P2 into a blog theme or using P2 as the blog theme is relatively straightforward. Just make sure you get all the required links to js and css etc. right. That’s not really what I need though; I want to keep all blogs looking like traditional blogs.

I’m trying to get a P2 post-form on the group homepage, via the blog-latest.php file in the bp-groupblog plugin. That’s where I get in trouble; P2 can’t find the right blog/post ID’s, posts end up on the default blog instead of the group blog, Ajax doesn’t function correctly, etc.

My problem probably has something to do with URL mismatch between blog home (site.com/groupblog) and group home (site.com/groups/testgroup). The key could be the switch_to_blog function in bp-groupblog. Haven’t figured it out yet…
