Thanks @cyberlord92,
Where can you quote me and would this work with future updates? I am in a rush to implement this.

Thanks!

My pleasure, thanks for looking into it.

Kind Regards

Sure, please take a look at this screenshot:

This is basically the dropdown for selecting the trigger/activity step.

Sorry, I just noticed your response Paul.
Can you please explain what I should be looking for?

Thanks!

Hi & thanks for your response!

I wasn’t sure if this is a BuddyPress issue or BuddyBoss but now that I do, I will contact your support.

Thanks!

Anyone else having this issue?

I am using the Boss theme but I guess I need to change it to see if the problem still persists.

Thanks for your response. This is not really a support request so I thought I wouldn’t bother you by submitting it as a support ticket, it’s more of a feature request.

I am glad that you are working on something like this!

Thanks!

Interested in this as well as I am using WP Engine too.

Hi,

I am also interested to know how we could pass certain WordPress fields to make them appear under the fields dropdown menu. I assume there should be a hook somewhere that we can utilize but couldn’t fine any info on this.

No worries and welcome back :).

I didn’t check the database but I tried to check for the link under the links page and couldn’t find it there.

Regarding the duplicate entries, I selected an existing category.

Hello, I thought I’d share my final code for others to use if desired. Basically this code awards a BadgeOS badge on approval and send an e-mail to buffer with the links details.

Because I want to encourage users to submit links, I use this code to publish tweets that include their twitter user name. a ‘twitter’ usermeta is used so it needs to be added there. If it’s not there, the url & its title will be published without the name of the submitter.

I hope this helps!

function educadme_links_to_buffer( $linkdata, $linkextradata ) {
		$buffer_email = "[email protected]";

		// General Link Info
		$get_link_title = $linkdata['link_name'];
		$get_link = $linkdata['link_url'];

		// Dynamic Conditions of Submitter
		// User Login of the submitter
		$submitter = $linkextradata['link_submitter'];
		// Get User Object
		$user = get_user_by( 'login', $submitter );
		// Get User ID
		$user_id = $user->ID;

		// Award a badge to the user for Link Approval
		if (function_exists('badgeos_maybe_award_achievement_to_user')) {
			badgeos_maybe_award_achievement_to_user( '63057', $user_id );
		}

		// Gets User Meta Twitter for Submitter
		$submitter_user_twitter = get_user_meta($user_id, 'twitter', true);

		if (isset($submitter_user_twitter)){
		   $social_title =New Link: $get_link_title by @$submitter_user_twitter";
		} else {
		   $social_title =New Link: $get_link_title";
		} 

		// Output Buffer Commands
		$buffer_commands = "
		@p YourBufferChannel \r\n
		@link $get_link
		";

		wp_mail( $buffer_email, $social_title, $buffer_commands );
	}
	add_action( 'link_library_approval_email', 'educadme_links_to_buffer', 10, 2 );

Awesome! Thanks Yannick!

Take your time ?? I am just glad I could contribute somehow to the development of the plugin even if just by throwing ideas!

Good luck with your work!

By the way Yannick,

I noticed something but I wasn’t sure if it is intended. If I require login to submit a link through Link Library, it fetches the username of the submitter but not their e-mail address. Therefore, they can’t be notified and the above action won’t work.

Is that behaviour intended?

Thanks again! donating now!

Thanks a lot Yannick.

For other beginners interested, I ended up using this code to publish links to Buffer:

function educadme_links_to_buffer( $linkdata ) {
		$buffer_email = "[email protected]";

		$get_link_title = $linkdata['link_name'];
		$get_link = $linkdata['link_url'];;

		$buffer_commands = "
		@p ArabicResearch \r\n
		@link $get_link
		";

		wp_mail( $buffer_email, $get_link_title, $buffer_commands );
	}
	add_action( 'link_library_approval_email', 'educadme_links_to_buffer', 10, 2 );

I plan to also extend it to give the user a badge/exp points on link acceptance.
