Hi folks; I’m working on a BP plugin to extend my classified ads plugin for WP and I have a little question here.
Actually, my ads are using custom post types and so comments can be added with the WP core functionnalities, which is great.
but now for BuddyPress, how must I handle it, since there is also a “comment” function for the BP items ?
The good idea would be to continue using regular WP comments but I don’t know if this will “integrate” well with BuddyPress.
What do you think I should do ?
Thanks
bp comments are dependent on an activity stream record – so it depends if you are pushing a content to the activity stream (then you could pull in bp commenting)
Yes I record an activity stream when I publish a new ad (which is a post with a custom type).
Then, what’s the smarter ?
Enable regular WP comments for this ad or use BP comments ?
