Developer Guide

This plugin has no REST API, no custom tables, no cron and no shortcodes. It bridges IdeaPush and BuddyPress by reading the idea post type and writing to the BuddyPress activity stream, and it exposes a small set of filters.

How the bridge works

Section titled “How the bridge works”

The plugin does not consume any IdeaPush-specific action or filter hooks. It reads IdeaPush data directly:

  • The idea post type is queried for a member’s published ideas.
  • IdeaPush idea meta votes and current-status are read for the vote count and status shown on the Idea tab.

Activity posting is triggered from the core WordPress transition_post_status hook: when an idea moves to publish, the plugin calls bp_activity_add().

Options

Section titled “Options”
Option Contents
bii_general_setting Idea tab options: allow_idea_tab, two_column, length_limit, profile_label, profile_slug.
bii_activity_setting Activity options: allow_post_activity, action_text, append_title, allow_comment.

Both options are registered through the Settings API (register_setting groups bii_admin_general_setting and bii_admin_activity_setting) and saved via options.php.

Post and activity metadata

Section titled “Post and activity metadata”
Key On Meaning
bp_ideapush_integration_postid_activity idea post The activity ID created for that idea.
bp_ideapush_integration_activity_postid activity The idea post ID the activity belongs to.
bp_ideapush_youzify_activity activity Set to yes when the activity was created under Youzify.

  • bp_ideapush_integration_activity_action - the idea activity entry (default).
