Description

When I post a new blog post in the wordpress dashboard, It usually gets posted to the main activity wall. This part works fine but what gets posted doesn’t. I tested it out and it seems if there are comments inside the posts like <!-- comments --> this well show up as “comments” on the activity wall. On the actual post on the wordpress part it does not show up. Like I mentioned previously. this worked fine on 1.2.9 but now on the 1.5.3.1 version this part seems to be not working properly. I tried the bp-default theme and still same thing. I didn’t think this would be a theme thing. more of a core part, but I like to test before posting here.

A HTML comment does make its way into the activity stream -- which is probably harmless but not desirable -- but the tags remain (e.g. I don't just get the word "comments" in the activity stream).

username_: how long a blog post were you testing this one? Have you got a site to share an example on so we can look at the activity stream HTML?

I have tested this on mostly short blog posts. Consisting of a few words and some of no words other than just comments. I tested mostly with some of the flash video posts that I have.

In these flash video blog posts I have Internet explorer comment checks to display a specific video format for IE users. This code looks like this. <!-- [if !IE] --> and shows up on the activity stream as "-- [if !IE] -->"

Unfortunately the site I run buddypress on is a private community and can not be accessed unless you set up an account. but feel free to set up an account if you'd like it is free. it is at www.aapltrader.com.

As of BP 2.7 trunk. Tested adding <!-- comments --> and <!-- [if !IE] --> in blog posts and the comments are not showing up in Activity Stream.
