Buddypress Integration #131

Hi! We started a discussion in the pull request thread for #122 on general integration with Buddypress, using the available filters in the plugin. I thought it would make sense to move that conversation here so that we can have a proper space for it.

I will start by taking the code I shared in the thread and reducing it only to the code that would work for any buddypress instance (I will also keep the code that adds blogs of the user's sites, if the site is a multisite).

function activitypub_metadata ($json, $author_id) {
$json = json_decode(json_encode($json), true);

//add BP member profile URL as user URL
$json['url'] = bp_core_get_user_domain( $author_id ); 

 $cover_image_url = bp_attachments_get_attachment( 'url', array( 'item_id' => $author_id ) );

if ( $cover_image_url ) {
    $json['image'] = array(
		'type' => 'Image',
    	'url'  => $cover_image_url,
	);
}

//set up array for attachment data
$activitypub_meta = array();

//add specific metadata here

if (is_multisite()) {
$user_blogs = get_blogs_of_user($author_id); //get sites of user to send as AP metadata

foreach($user_blogs as $blog) {
    if ($blog->userblog_id != 1) {
        $activitypub_meta[] = array (
            'type' => 'PropertyValue',
            'name' => \__($blog->blogname, 'activitypub'),
            'value' => \html_entity_decode(
	            '<a rel="me" title="' . \esc_attr( $blog->siteurl ) . '" target="_blank" href="' .$blog->siteurl. '">' . \wp_parse_url( $blog->siteurl, \PHP_URL_HOST ) . '</a>',
        	    \ENT_QUOTES,
        	    'UTF-8'
    	    ),
        );
    }
}
}

$json['attachment'] = $activitypub_meta;  

return $json;
}
add_filter( 'activitypub_json_author_array', 'activitypub_metadata', 11, 2 );

This code will :

Change the AP URL to the Buddypress Member Profile instead of the Author archive URL
Set the user's cover image (if they set one) as the AP header image (Mastodon cover image)
If the site is a multisite, loop through the sites the user has created and pass them as AP metadata.

There is definitely still work that can be done here, specifically for the metadata, and deciding what metadata to pass, and how to make it flexible for different instances. But it's a good start, I think!

The question, now… where do we put that code in our version of the plugin? (this is probably a noob question, since I’m new to the PHP language itself.) Well, new to both PHP development and WP development in general. I am asking this because I was originally thinking of doing a Pleroma instance or a Friendica community for one of my community pages… but I think I might do a BuddyPress with AP integration instead… From: Evan ***@***.***> Sent: Friday, September 10, 2021 12:25 PM To: pfefferle/wordpress-activitypub ***@***.***> Cc: Subscribed ***@***.***> Subject: [pfefferle/wordpress-activitypub] Buddypress Integration (Discussion #131) Hi!

No problem :) I'd say the best place to put it would be creating a file called "bp-custom.php" in your plugins directory (wp-content/plugins) . This is a standard practice for adding custom code to Buddypress.

Another option, if you have a child theme, is to put the code in your functions.php file. This would have the code work at the theme level (when you have the theme activated on your site).

Just a heads up that AP integration via this plugin is only one-way. Users can be followed on the fediverse, but they can't follow fediverse users, or discover those users through Wordpress. Depending on your needs, if you are looking for a fully capable Activity Pub social network, Pleroma might be a better option.

Depending on what you want, of course! Plenty of interesting reasons to want to use BP as well.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Nom… I smell an upgrade somewhere? New feature, perhaps? (in other words, making the plugin support two-way AP… hence making WP+BP+AP yet another way of setting up a social network.) If I could implement it myself, believe me, I would.

I would love to add this code to the plugin directly. Is there a simple way to check if a WordPress installation has BuddyPress enabled?

if(function_exists(‘bp_is_active’) { } should work, I haven't tested it yet though.

@skysarwer do I simply have to install the BuddyPress plugin to check your code?

I think this is going to bring this community a huge step forward. I cannot wait to see what happens with us. I'm keeping an eye out.

I see #132 seems to work for authors of a blog but what about just regular BuddyPress users? Is this a level of integration that is possible/wanted, at least optionally? I would love to be able to give users the option of publishing their posts to AP on a post-by-post basis.
