Where is activity status update $content built before entering in wp_bp_activity

I want to customise the activity status update. Currently if you post an entry that includes a recognisable URL, BuddyPress will wrap the URL to create a clickable link before it gets entered into wp_bp_activity.

I’ve combed through the source code and can’t find where that happens.

For now, all I want to do is add target=”_blank” to the link, and I’m thinking I might need to hook into one of the bp_activity filters to apply a regexp to $content to make the change, but if I could find where $content is constructed and the link added in the first place it might be possible to make the change there.

Thanks

Do you mean immediately after you’ve submitted? That is usually the result of JavaScript. Take a look in buddypress-functions.php or global.js if you are still using bp-default.

Thanks for the reply Henry, but it doesn’t happen in either global.js or buddypress-functions.php as far as I can tell.

Can you view the source? Try looking for a CSS class that could be unique – then search for that class in the BP plugin files. I’ve found this to be a good way of finding which file is outputting the markup

It adds a wrapper with rel=”nofollow” in the link, and so I’ve searched for occurrences of that, but not found the right one.
