How to send email notification of a new activity post

    @aburub

    Thanks for such a great plugin. Essentially, i’m newb who just started a buddypress rich site using commons in a box (based on cuny commons). The wordpress version is 3.9.2, and buddypress version is 2.0.

    My question is whether I can use a custom function to send ’email notifications’ to the admin when a sitewide activity has been posted. I’ve been looking around forums for the past two days, but can’t get this to work, probably because of my lack of any php experience.

    So far, what I came up with is a function that is meant to ‘wp_email’ whenever an ‘acitivity_update’ has been posted.

    Please check the code. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    function bp_plugin_hook_activity_add( $args ) {

    // sends an email to admin to inform him of a new activity
    if( $args['type'] == 'activity_update' )
    wp_mail( get_option( 'admin_email' ), 'New post!', $args['action'], 'Content-Type: text/html' );

    }
    add_action( 'bp_activity_post_update', 'bp_plugin_hook_activity_add', 10, 1 );

    Thanks again for all the great work that is buddypress
