private site: No activity recorded on new topics/replies

[wdfee]

with r4831 there is no buddypress activity for new topics and new replies recorded anymore.

I am not fan with BuddyPress, can anyone confirm this ?

Working for me. Maybe your site is private? Closing as worksforme.

yes, site is private - but activity should be recorded anyway, it's the mainsite. (Other activities of other components do well)

ok, I got the code peaces in /includes/extend/buddypress/activity.php
line 392 in function topic_create and line 538 in function reply_create:

if ( !bbp_is_site_public() )
			return;

Can you tell me why you bail on private sites? BuddyPress doesn't do that. I really want to understand it... What about this suggestion, this would keep out activities on multisite from private subsites, but record them on mainsite:

if ( !bbp_is_site_public() && !is_main_site() )
			return;

It's intentional to not record post data to the central activity stream, because there's no way to control the crawling of information on a per-post basis, and BuddyPress does not yet have privacy controls or permissions for activity stream items.

Moving to Future Release, since it's worth addressing eventually. Until then, you could filter 'bbp_is_site_public' and trick it into thinking it's public, which will force posting to the activity streams.
