Mention User without Status Update

  • @nickbwatson

    Okay, so I’ve just figured out a way to go to a users page and commenting to them without having to go back to your profile to do so (using @username). You can check out the topic here.

    My issue now is that I really hate how when you want to mention someone, it has to update your status as well.

    IMO they should be separate things. So how can I get it so that when I make a mention, it doesn’t update my status as well?

    Basically I have duplicated the “post-form.php” and called it “post-friend-form.php”. And then within the users activity feed, I have it set so that it will show “post-friend-form.php” on other users, and “post-form” on your own.

    If you need any more info, just let me know.

    I really would like to get this done.

    The easiest thing is probably to wipe out the status if there’s an @mention.

    Use this filter:

    bp_get_member_latest_update

    And do a check to see if there’s an @mention; if there is, return a blank string, if there isn’t, return the full update.

    Yeah I’ll try that, but if it returns the blank string, doesn’t that mean it will just wipe the status?

    Yes, unless you find out a way to pull the previous activity update.
