can anyone provide direction on how to insert new phpbb forum posts into the activity feed?

I was thinking of connecting directly to phpDB_posts and pulling the post data, perhaps with a CRON job. But then how to get that data into the activity feed?

I’m open to any suggestions to any part of this plan.

Thanks,

Mark

The simplest might be to use an RSS feed from your phpbb forum and use the external BP external activity plugin …

New BuddyPress plugin: BP External Activity

To get the activity in to the BuddyPress activity stream, you use the function bp_activity_add()

I don’t know phpBB, but suspect there will be a hook when threads / topics are saved… That is wheee you would add your code.

This thread points to a similar solution for simple:press.. Hopefully, you can adapt it easily for phpBB: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/adding-a-activity-to-the-activity-stream/

Thanks folks, I’ll look into both of these.
