CUNY Academic Commons

Fixed in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/5c4eb7a3752c41b779b80debd8004c0f6be2ac35.

If a site is private, the fix will hide the blog-related activity item from being displayed sitewide.

Boone, I decided to add the fix directly into the bp-mpo-activity-filter plugin as other sites using the plugin might benefit from it. I've also added a pull request here. In the PR, I note that BuddyPress will block the activity item from saving if the site visibility option is set to Discourage search engines from indexing this site. We might want to mirror what BuddyPress is doing if the site's visibility setting is private, but I opted to hide the activity item sitewide for now.

I'm also going to run a script similar to https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/15134#note-5 to address blog activity items that should be hidden sitewide. Here's the MySQL query: select a.id from wp_bp_activity a left join wp_blogs b on (a.item_id = b.blog_id) where a.hide_sitewide = 0 and a.component = 'blogs' and b.public < 1. I'll run the script to switch these activity items over tomorrow.

Update:

Disregard what I said here. #8075 allows for activity recording for sites with the visibility option set to "Discourage search engines from indexing this site" or (blog_public = 0), so we do not need to follow what BuddyPress does.
