hi. i’m having some trouble with the bbpress-buddypress integration. i want new bbpress forum topics and replies to show up in the buddypress activity stream, but right now they are not.

i added this to bp-custom.php:

add_post_type_support( 'topic', 'buddypress-activity' );

which works, but with a generic “UserName wrote a new item.” it seems like there must be a better, easier way to tie the two together. looking at the bbpress files, i see this:

public function register_activity_actions() {

// Sitewide activity stream items
bp_activity_set_action( $this->component, $this->topic_create, esc_html__( 'New forum topic', 'bbpress' ) );
bp_activity_set_action( $this->component, $this->reply_create, esc_html__( 'New forum reply', 'bbpress' ) );
}

i don’t know if they’re not getting called or they’re conflicting with something or what, but they aren’t doing what it seems like they should be doing. i see other php code that makes it seem like the integration should be really good, so i don’t know what i’m missing. is there a setting to activate this feature or something?

so that’s the situation. little help?
