How to get a list of BuddyPress' actions.
As part of research for a new version of my Achievements plugin for BuddyPress, I need a list of all the BuddyPress action names.
For non-developers, actions are the hooks that WordPress & BuddyPress launches at specific points during execution, or when specific events occur. This allows plugin developers to hook into these events and do whatever they want.
It took me a while, but here’s how you can use the terminal (on Mac or Linux) to find all BuddyPress’ actions.
grep -r -h "do_action( '[aA0-zZ9+]*' )" . | awk -F "['']" '{print $2}' | uniq
Tom, and 1 other are discussing.

When I activated your plugin none of the “javascript” option in the admin area worked anymore e.g. dragging of widgets, the “screen” button at the top and so on. I took me some to figure out what it exactly was. So I just wanted to share this with you.

Hi Edward
Do you mean Welcome Pack? If so are you able to try version 1.63 and see if problem still exists?

Will you update the Achievements plugin for Buddypress 1.2?

Hi Tom
Yes, I am working a new version currently. I’m rewriting big chunks of functionality rather than just updating for BP 1.2, so it looks like it will be a few weeks until I have a beta ready.

Appreciate the reply! Very good to hear it, can’t wait!

Hi Paul,
Is your achievements plugin source in a svn/git repo somewhere? I’ve been writing something very similar – well, almost identical – and I’ll probably merge the two. I’ve already been looking at fixing the reference to deprecated/removed buddy press functions.
Cheers,

It is, but the current trunk is pretty much blank as I’m merging and re-writing parts locally, so not much use to you at the moment.

Paul,
Cool – do you have an eta or a todo list or whatever? I can lend a hand if I know what direction you’re going in.

Sounds great — as soon as I finish up my current client projects, i’m going to dive in and focus only on Achievements, so I’ll do a post when that happens to update.
