Activity Post Update

[imjjss]

@kunalb , a while ago I posted a bug in BP forum saying the activity posts got lost in its event activity but appear in site activity. Today I found out the problem--- in the "Post In" selection box, "My Profile" and other groups are listed. So, the post goes to my profile or other groups. I checked bpcp settings, activity post is not enabled. Probably you designed it this way--activity tab only enable for create/edit. But for many users, the activity post is faster and much more convinient than forum post. Unless it's something serious, most of people might prefer a little chi-chat in activity post.

Hey—actually to be able to generate activity within a post type, the theme drop down should be able to have the event-post-id so that the activity is assigned to the proper object; however the default theme does not have hooks where I can place this: I need to make my own copy to allow custom activities in there, modifying BPCP's theme page and it should work fine.

As I'm hoping to finish PressTest sometime this month/by mid August, and then rewrite both BPCP and EP with automated testing to prevent the few hundred bugs I seem to create with every new release I'm not keen on adding features to the current versions considering I'll be rewriting them anyways.

No hurry. You are right, no need to waste time on adding features to current version when a rewriting is on the schedule.

@hunalb , just for info-- seems BP groups will be shifting to custom post type in BP1.4. That might impact on your rewritting jobs. http://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-group-hierarchy/forum/topic/issues-with-bp1-3-trunk-development-version/#post-102886

I think 1.4 might take quite some time before release. Let's see what the state of BP is when I get the first version of PressTest ready after my current project, which is taking up all of my time.
