How to save deleted activity?

I’m looking for options to save off deleted activity so that I can keep it as history. It doesn’t need to be accessible via the application, just as long as it is in the database so I can get to it if necessary. I am thinking that I could save all activity to a separate table when users post it or I can just save the “deleted” items when the user performs a delete. Any thoughts on how to accomplish either of these? Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Check out the bp_activity_action_delete_activity() function in bp-activity.php.

There’s a hook where you can grab the activity ID before it’s deleted:
`/* Call the action before the delete so plugins can still fetch information about it */
do_action( ‘bp_activity_action_delete_activity’, $activity_id, $activity->user_id );`

You could potentially archive this information into a separate table for your own usage.

If you’re not familiar with WordPress hooks, check out the Plugin API codex page:

Thanks! This pointed me in the right direction. I see there is also a bp_activity_after_save hook that I might use to get a complete copy of all activity up front. I’m weighing those two options to see what works best for me.

Can you share more details on your implementation? I am looking to do the same thing for my website. Ideally, I would like all information (activity stream, group information, etc) to be “soft” deleted. As in, it is deleted in the eyes of the user but still stored in the database.
