Help me fix a function that adds blog comments to activity

    @andrewgtibbetts

    I have this function that I pieced together a few months back that worked until a recent WP or BP upgrade (not sure which or when). The function adds blog comments as activity items so that I can have them show up in notifications without actually using the activity feed. It no longer works. Does anyone know why this wouldn’t work anymore?

    function rt_bp_blogs_record_comment( $comment_id, $is_approved = true ) {
    global $bp;

    // Get the users comment
    $recorded_comment = get_comment( $comment_id );

    // Don't record activity if the comment hasn't been approved
    if ( empty( $is_approved ) )
    return false;

    // Don't record activity if no email address has been included
    if ( empty( $recorded_comment->comment_author_email ) )
    return false;

    // Get the user_id from the comment author email.
    $user = get_user_by( 'email', $recorded_comment->comment_author_email );
    $user_id = (int)$user->ID;

    // If there's no registered user id, don't record activity
    if ( empty( $user_id ) )
    return false;

    // Get blog and post data
    $blog_id = get_current_blog_id();
    $recorded_comment->post = get_post( $recorded_comment->comment_post_ID );

    if ( empty( $recorded_comment->post ) || is_wp_error( $recorded_comment->post ) )
    return false;

    // If this is a password protected post, don't record the comment
    if ( !empty( $recorded_comment->post->post_password ) )
    return false;

    // Don't record activity if the comment's associated post isn't a WordPress Post
    if ( !in_array( $recorded_comment->post->post_type, apply_filters( 'bp_blogs_record_comment_post_types', array( 'post' ) ) ) )
    return false;

    $is_blog_public = apply_filters( 'bp_is_blog_public', (int)get_blog_option( $blog_id, 'blog_public' ) );

    // If blog is public allow activity to be posted
    if ( $is_blog_public ) {

    // Get activity related links
    $post_permalink = get_permalink( $recorded_comment->comment_post_ID );
    $comment_link = htmlspecialchars( get_comment_link( $recorded_comment->comment_ID ) );

    // Prepare to record in activity streams
    if ( is_multisite() )
    $activity_action = sprintf( __( '%1$s commented on the post, %2$s, on the site %3$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id ), '' . apply_filters( 'the_title', $recorded_comment->post->post_title ) . '', '' . get_blog_option( $blog_id, 'blogname' ) . '' );
    else
    $activity_action = sprintf( __( '%1$s commented on the post, %2$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id ), '' . apply_filters( 'the_title', $recorded_comment->post->post_title ) . '' );

    $activity_content = $recorded_comment->comment_content;

    // Record in activity streams
    $activity_id = bp_blogs_record_activity( array(
    'user_id' => $user_id,
    'action' => apply_filters_ref_array( 'bp_blogs_activity_new_comment_action', array( $activity_action, &$recorded_comment, $comment_link ) ),
    'content' => apply_filters_ref_array( 'bp_blogs_activity_new_comment_content', array( $activity_content, &$recorded_comment, $comment_link ) ),
    'primary_link' => apply_filters_ref_array( 'bp_blogs_activity_new_comment_primary_link', array( $comment_link, &$recorded_comment ) ),
    'type' => 'new_blog_comment',
    'item_id' => $blog_id,
    'secondary_item_id' => $comment_id,
    'recorded_time' => $recorded_comment->comment_date_gmt
    ) );

    // Update the blogs last active date
    bp_blogs_update_blogmeta( $blog_id, 'last_activity', bp_core_current_time() );
    }

    do_action('bp_blogs_comment_recorded',$activity_id);

    return $recorded_comment;
    }
    remove_action( 'comment_post', 'bp_blogs_record_comment', 10, 2 );
    remove_action( 'edit_comment', 'bp_blogs_record_comment', 10 );
    add_action( 'comment_post', 'rt_bp_blogs_record_comment', 10, 2 );
    add_action( 'edit_comment', 'rt_bp_blogs_record_comment', 10 );

    Anyone in the know with the new BP guts wanna take a crack at this? It may be a useful plugin…

    Actually, this function is working—it is creating activity items based on blog posts and comments. I found out that it’s my custom plugin that is supposed to hook into this custom post or comment action to create a notification. Here is the plugin. I know no one will even try to tackle this but I have to post this because it’s my only option and I one for due diligence…

    /**

    thats a neat idea would be cool to add that as a standard option imo

    Ok, I think I’ve narrowed it down to this function in the plugin. I know that the function that it is hooking into works. Anyone know why this would fail?

    function pc_notifier_notify($activity_id) {
    global $bp;

    $activity = new BP_Activity_Activity($activity_id);
    $comment = get_comment($activity->secondary_item_id);
    $users = pc_notifier_find_involved_persons($comment->comment_post_ID);
    $link = get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID);

    if($activity->hide_sitewide) return;

    if(!in_array($activity->user_id, $users)&&($bp->loggedin_user->id!=$activity->user_id)) array_push ($users, $activity->user_id);

    foreach((array)$users as $user_id){
    bp_core_add_notification( $activity_id, $user_id, $bp->pc_notifier->id, 'new_post_comment_'.$activity_id );
    }

    }
    add_action("bp_blogs_comment_recorded","pc_notifier_notify",10,1); // hook to bp_blogs_comment_recorded for adding notification

    Okaaay, the plugin IS working. Does anyone know why an entry in wp_bp_notifications would not be showing up in notifications?

    entry in wp_bp_notifications:

    id user_id item_id secondary_item_id component_name component_action date_notified is_new

    196 4 209 0 pc_notifier new_post_comment_209 2012-12-07 17:08:16 1

    User id#3 is creating the comment and user id#4 is not receiving the notification in the top bar. Anyone know why?
