Problems with Content filter added to bp_get_activity_content()

[uglyrobot]

In 1.1.x in the bp_get_activity_content() function of bp-activity-templatetags.php, a filter for the content was added. Line 255:

/* Add 'the_content' filter to activity to allow existing plugins to replace text as they would on post text. (extra smilies etc) */
$content = apply_filters( 'the_content', $content );

Now all my plugins that use that filter for blog posts are adding their html to the site wide activity widgets and breaking them.

I have the same problem here: ​http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1133

I think this filter should be renamed. There is no way to make the activity component work with all of the wordpress plugins that also use this hook.

Suggested fix is to rename the hook and if people really want their blog plugins to affect the activity component output, they can manually apply the hooks in their functions.php

There should be also the way to repair broken widget, because inserted HTML is still here...

I agree. Just rename the filter. It should be something like 'bp_activity_content'.

This has been removed in the 1.1 branch.
