User’s Adverts question

Hi,
currently, we do not have an integration with Ultimate Member, so inserting a new Ad in the user activity stream will require some custom programming.

You can use the publish_advert post status transition to add a new activity when the user Ad is published.

For example the code below will fire when new Ad is published

add_action( "publish_advert", "on_advert_publish" );
function on_advert_publish( $post_id ) {
    $advert = get_post( $post_id );
    // add UM activity here
}

That being said i am not really familiar with UM API so i am not sure how to add the activity, you would need to ask their support what function to use to do that.

Thanks for advice, Greg!

Hi, Greg!
I have got code snippet from UM support and i combined with your, so i have this code now:

//Adverts on social activity wall

add_action( “publish_advert”, “on_advert_publish” );
function on_advert_publish( $post_id ) {
$advert = get_post( $post_id );
// add UM activity here
function um_activity_new_cpt( $post_id ) {
if (defined(‘DOING_AUTOSAVE’) && DOING_AUTOSAVE) return;
if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) != ‘cpt_slug’ || get_post_status( $post_id ) != ‘publish’ ) return;

if ( ! UM()->options()->get(‘activity-new-post’) )
return;

$post = get_post( $post_id );
$user_id = $post->post_author;

um_fetch_user( $user_id );
$author_name = um_user(‘display_name’);
$author_profile = um_user_profile_url();

if (has_post_thumbnail( $post_id ) ) {
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), ‘large’ );
$post_image = ‘<span></span>’;
} else {
$post_image = ”;
}

if ( $post->post_content ) {
$post_excerpt = ‘<span>’ . wp_trim_words( strip_shortcodes( $post->post_content ), $num_words = 25, $more = null ) . ‘</span>’;
} else {
$post_excerpt = ”;
}

UM()->Activity_API()->api()->save(
array(
‘template’ => ‘new-post’,
‘wall_id’ => $user_id,
‘related_id’ => $post_id,
‘author’ => $user_id,
‘author_name’ => $author_name,
‘author_profile’ => $author_profile,
‘post_title’ => ‘<span>’ . $post->post_title . ‘</span>’,
‘post_url’ => get_permalink( $post_id ),
‘post_excerpt’ => $post_excerpt,
‘post_image’ => $post_image,
)
);
}
}
add_action(‘save_post’, ‘um_activity_new_cpt’, 99999, 1 );

It’s actually work, but unfortunately there is some errors.
Can you please check this code, is there any bugs?
Thank you!

Alsi they said, that i need to change the cpt_slug with WP Adverts post type. Maybe it is the problem?
Thanks!

It seems you have it mixed up, try using just the code they have sent, but in the code they have sent replace ‘cpt_slug’ with ‘advert’.

Hi Greg!
Little question, from Ultimate Member developers i have got this code snippet:

add_action(“adverts_post_type”, “customize_adverts_post_type”);

function customize_adverts_post_type( $args ) {
$args[“supports”][] = “thumbnail”;
return $args;
}

They said, that WPAdverts doesn’t have a featured box area,so thats why i can’t see featured image of the post on social activity.Also they said, if i add this snippet it must work, but unfortunately not working, is this code written correctly?
Thank You!

Hi,
the code seems fine when you go to wp-admin / Classifieds panel and edit one of the Ads check if in the right sidebar you have a Thumbnail/Featured widget (which allows selecting the featured image) if you do then the code works properly.

BTW. Most likely what they meant is that you need to have featured images enabled and select a featured image for the Ad.

Thanks for help Greg!!!
Now it works fine, i can see the image, i set POST IMAGE, but when users post ads how can they set POST IMAGE?

They can select a main image in the gallery, or you can install the Force Featured Image snippet https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/blob/master/force-featured-image/force-featured-image.php which will select a featured image automatically if none is selected by the user.
