Editing GES custom tokens

Hi @breity10 – The {{{ges.action}}} token is taken directly from the BP activity item. See https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-group-email-subscription/blob/1282d7d22a926ead9edd643008b9a629382ab7c3/bp-activity-subscription-functions.php#L404.

You should be able to change this string by using the filter here: https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-group-email-subscription/blob/1282d7d22a926ead9edd643008b9a629382ab7c3/bp-activity-subscription-functions.php#L517

It might be a helpful tool for a new token like {{{ges.activity_id}}} to be passed through to this filter, so that the tokens can be rebuilt in a more dynamic fashion. @r-a-y do you have thoughts about this, or corrections to the above?

@breity10 is using the plain-text email, which converts HTML tags to a Markdown-like syntax.

If you want to remove this functionality, use the snippet listed here:

Activity object is already passed in the email sending function:
https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-group-email-subscription/blob/master/bp-activity-subscription-functions.php#L428

So you should be able to use the 'ass_send_email_args' filter to do whatever you need to do:
https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-group-email-subscription/blob/master/bp-activity-subscription-functions.php#L509

Example:

add_filter( 'ass_send_email_args', function( $retval, $email_type ) {
	if ( 'bp-ges-single' === $email_type ) {
		// Do checks against the activity object and do whatever.
		$activity_obj = $retval['activity'];
	}

	return $retval;
}, 10, 2 );

Ah, great! The snippet worked fine. I imagine this is due to the Email Templates plugin we’re using.

Thanks so much to both of you for the help! Really appreciate it.
