BuddyPress.org

Hello,

I’m using the mentions feature in buddypress to let users post on other users activity stream. I’m using the plugin bp-activity-as-wire plus some snippet of code that I found online. that snippet of code makes the mentions appear in the user’s activity stream (the user who has been mentioned).

Inside bp-activity-classes.php in the get_filter_sql() function. I replaced:

if ( !empty( $filter_array['user_id'] ) ) {
			$user_sql = BP_Activity_Activity::get_in_operator_sql( 'a.user_id', $filter_array['user_id'] );
			
			if ( !empty( $user_sql ) )
				$filter_sql[] = $user_sql;

With this code:

if ( !empty( $filter_array['user_id'] ) ) {
			$user_sql = BP_Activity_Activity::get_in_operator_sql( 'a.user_id', $filter_array['user_id'] );
			// START Also include @Mentions in User Stream
			$search_terms = '@'.bp_core_get_username($filter_array['user_id']). '</span>';
			$user_sql.= "OR ( a.content LIKE '%%".like_escape($search_terms)."%%' )";
			// END Also include @Mentions in User Stream
			if ( !empty( $user_sql ) )
				$filter_sql[] = $user_sql;

It worked perfectly until the last update (2.2.0).

I can see that there is a new method get_scope_query_sql() which overrides activity arguments. When I comment out the function call inside get() everything is working.

My question is what might happen if I leave that function call commented out? Is it going to break anything on my site? I can’t upgrade to 2.2.0 without fixing this issue first.
