Hi Lee,
To start troubleshooting I will suggest first checking the bp_notifications table and see if notifications from ‘bdbp_unotifier’ is being added or not?

Hi Lee,
Can you please download this(It is specifically for 1.8)
https://github.com/buddydev/bp-user-activity-notifier/archive/bp1.8.zip

Others looking at this thread, Please use
https://github.com/buddydev/bp-user-activity-notifier/ instead.

Since WordPress 3.7 will not work on my system(I am using php 7+), I had to make some guess work for the back compatibility and was not able to test. Please give it a try and let me know.

Thank you

Hi Arvind,
Please put this in your bp-custom.php

function buddydev_add_more_notifiable_user_ids( $user_ids ) {

	if ( function_exists( 'bp_follow_get_following' ) ) {
		$user_ids = array_merge( $user_ids, bp_follow_get_following( array( 'user_id' => bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ) );
	}

	return array_unique( $user_ids );
}

add_filter( 'buddydev_user_notifier_notifibale_user_ids','buddydev_add_more_notifiable_user_ids' );

That will notify users on any new activity of the people they are following.

@ljmac,
No problem. I am on it.

Hi Lee,
thank you for the tests. I had not tested it on 1.8, so It is quiet possible that the hooks I am using is not even available. Will do testing and fork out a branch for 1.8.

Hi,
Welcome to BuddyDev.
There is no popularity options at the moment unless you are using the rating/voting plugin etc.

But yes, you can use the media with all kind of slideshows/lightboxes. We have a few integrations coming for light gallery slideshow etc.

All you need to fetch the media(photos) is a MediaPress media Loop

Please see this document to create custom Photo lists

Hope that helps.
