~5th line down you have exit();. That will stop execution of the function at that point.

Henry,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I forgot to remove the testing code I was using.
This is the actual code;
// Check the activity content
function mmAddLocationCategory( $args )
{
//get the category from POST
$category = isset($_POST['bpp_ex_custom_dropdown']) ? $_POST['bpp_ex_custom_dropdown']:null;
// Get the location from the user's profile
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$bp_location = xprofile_get_field_data('Location', $user_id);
// Add the location to all of the user's activity
$mmLocation = "<a href=http://dev.areyoupop.com/activity/?s=%23" . $bp_location . ">#" . $bp_location . "</a>";
// Add category to the content
if(!is_null($category))
{
//update the category to activity meta
$content = $content . "<br />" . $category . " " . $mmLocation . $args['type'];
}
return $content;
}
add_action('bp_activity_post_update', 'mmAddLocationCategory', 10, 2 );
Is bp_activity_post_update an actual hook? I can’t seem to find it in BP.
Thank you for the observation.
I have updated the code and ran it and still doesn’t add the text.
I’m thinking it might be the return line or perhaps I need to use a different function.
// Check the activity content
function mmAddLocationCategory( $args )
{
//get the category from POST
$category = isset($_POST['bpp_ex_custom_dropdown']) ? $_POST['bpp_ex_custom_dropdown']:null;
// Get the location from the user's profile
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$bp_location = xprofile_get_field_data('Location', $user_id);
// Add the location to all of the user's activity
$mmLocation = "<a href=http://dev.areyoupop.com/activity/?s=%23" . $bp_location . ">#" . $bp_location . "</a>";
// Add category to the content
if(!is_null($category))
{
//update the category to activity meta
$content = $content . "<br />" . $category . " " . $mmLocation . $args['type'];
}
return $content;
}
add_action('bp_activity_posted_update', 'mmAddLocationCategory', 10, 2 );
You’re using that hook incorrectly.
What do you think $args represents in your function?
Here is the hook, from bp-activity\bp-activity-functions.php
do_action( 'bp_activity_posted_update', $r['content'], $r['user_id'], $activity_id );
Notice that it passes 3 separate arguments.
And $content is not one of them.
And there is no scope for a return.
And that hook runs after the activity has been created, so even if your function was less malformed, it wouldn’t work as you expect.
The correct hook is called earlier in the same function as the hook you’re using.
$add_content = apply_filters( 'bp_activity_new_update_content', $activity_content );
Adjust $activity_content and return it.
Thank you for the help. Here is my code updated and working properly.
// Check the activity content
function mmAddLocationCategory($activity_content)
{
//get the category from POST
$category = isset($_POST['bpp_ex_custom_dropdown']) ? $_POST['bpp_ex_custom_dropdown']:null;
// Get the location from the user's profile
$bp_location = xprofile_get_field_data('Location', bp_loggedin_user_id());
// Add category to the content
if(!is_null($category))
{
//update the category to activity meta
$activity_content = $activity_content . "<br>#" . $category . " #" . $bp_location;
}
return $activity_content;
}
add_filter('bp_activity_new_update_content', 'mmAddLocationCategory', 10, 2 );
The only problem I have to solve now is how to insert a <br> in the content. It seems the filter strips all break html code. Instead of getting;
content
#singing #city
I get;
content #singing #city
The <br> that is added to the string in the code, gets removed for some reason.
Thank you for your help
V.
