@lo133 – there are many, many reasons for NOT..

but in case you are looking to do such (a horrible thing for your site, your users, their privacy, crappy buttons cluttering up..)

A quick search via startpage.com shows there are several discussions about this and it appears that multiple people have discussed and come up with ways to do such a (n evil) thing..

including.. https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-social/
discussions for doing this with various methods outlined from three years ago – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/share-activity-on-social-network/

I would imagine there are some updated options as well, or it should be simply to tweak existing code that is already in the wild and gpl to do this today.

of course you could also search the forums here and find more info about that more than likely – and a search in the wp-repo may bring up some free options to test that may do exactly what you are describing.

I myself am glad this stuff is not included in core – as I would be searching for ways to remove every single last little bit of any third party code / assets and or dependencies..

kind of like what needs to be done with recent updates of wordpress core – removing google fonts, removing gravatar, third party emoji, blah blah. meh.

“Do you understand?” – I still do not understand what you are asking about. Sorry.

Maybe you mean… while using your buddypress web site you want to share an activity with your other “friends” within buddypress or something?

@lo133 – So – you want to find something within your own buddypress site – and click to share this on your “friend’s activity / all” ? – I THINK your friends can see activity of their friends with a simple click (eg – /members/admin/activity/friends/ ) – so anything you have shared on your profile would display in that feed..

Or (and?) – you want to be on another web site and share something from some other place onto your own activity wall? (I think that is easiest done with wpmudev’s activity plus plugin)

There IS an option to kind of send something to your friend’s “wall” – on their profile if you click “public message” then it opens a box and adds @myFriendsName… which kind of does what you may be asking about.

I would imagine there would be a cool modification to the WP “press this” button code – where a person may be able to highlightsomething and include a list of friends to @MyFriendsName them – however I think it could get bloated if you have a lot of friends…

I myself think it better to just post an activity update and if your friends want to see it then can click to see friend’s activity – or you could make that display the default display when people log in … and if you needed to get a site notification to someone – say post a picture of a sunset – it shows in your activity, and your friend’s would see it on friend’s activity – and if that sunset reminded you of someone particular, you would @MyFriend Mention them – and they MAY get a notification sent to them.

Still not exactly sure what content you are wanting to share with friends, and where you think that should show up.

It may be that you want to customize how activity is displayed to logged in users and solve what you are going for. Not sure really.

@lo133,

i modified your topic by adding the correct URL to bp-reshare (by @imath) on Github.

Note that it’s an old plugin and that you can have some issue with it. If it’s the case, feel free to contact the author. Here the topic where you can add your comment. Topic is in french, but since past BuddyCamp in Brighton, imath is well versed in english, so you can write him in english of course !
