Show new portfolio items in activity and comments in stream

Hey guys,

I’m making use of the portfolio option to show recordings of webinars that we do. I would like to have new webinars and any comment on a webinar item appear in the activity steam – which doesn’t happen at the moment – probably because it’s a custom post type. I’ve tried to include it myself using the code snippet below which I altered from the one I use to display jobs from my jobs plugin, but I guess I’m missing something, because it doesn’t work. I’m also not sure whether the actual custom post type is affected by how I call it, but I tested both “webinars” as well as “portfolio” and neither works. Any help would be appreciated. Here’s my code:

function webinars_activity_args() {

if ( ! bp_is_active( ‘activity’ ) ) {

return;

}

 

add_post_type_support( ‘webinars’, ‘buddypress-activity’ );

 

bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( ‘webinars’, array(

‘component_id’             => ‘activity’,

‘action_id’                => ‘new_webinars’,

‘bp_activity_admin_filter’ => __( ‘Published a new Webinar’, ‘text-domain’ ),

‘bp_activity_front_filter’ => __( ‘Webinar’, ‘text-domain’ ),

‘contexts’                 => array( ‘activity’, ‘member’ ),

‘activity_comment’         => true,

‘bp_activity_new_post’     => __( ‘%1$s posted a new Webinar: <a href=”%2$s”>[Webinar]</a>’, ‘text-domain’ ),

‘bp_activity_new_post_ms’  => __( ‘%1$s posted a new Webinar: <a href=”%2$s”>[Webinar]</a>, on the site %3$s’, ‘text-domain’ ),

‘position’                 => 100,

) );

}

add_action( ‘init’, ‘webinars_activity_args’ );

 

 

function webinars_include_post_type_title( $action, $activity ) {

if ( empty( $activity->id ) ) {

return $action;

}

 

if ( ‘new_webinars’ != $activity->type ) {

return $action;

}

 

preg_match_all( ‘/<a.*?>([^>]*)<\/a>/’, $action, $matches );

 

if ( empty( $matches[1][1] ) || ‘[Webinars]’ != $matches[1][1] ) {

return $action;

}

 

$post_type_title = bp_activity_get_meta( $activity->id, ‘post_title’ );

 

if ( empty( $post_type_title ) ) {

 

switch_to_blog( $activity->item_id );

 

$post_type_title = get_post_field( ‘post_title’, $activity->secondary_item_id );

 

// We have a title save it in activity meta to avoid switching blogs too much

if ( ! empty( $post_type_title ) ) {

bp_activity_update_meta( $activity->id, ‘post_title’, $post_type_title );

}

 

restore_current_blog();

}

 

return str_replace( $matches[1][1], esc_html( $post_type_title ), $action );

}

add_filter( ‘bp_activity_custom_post_type_post_action’, ‘webinars_include_post_type_title’, 10, 2 );

 

Also, if we’re at it: On the bottom of the single portfolio item the heading for the related portfolio items says: Related Projects. How do I change the title to “Other webinars”?

Thanks so much in advance!
