I now see why this is so;
It’s because GD reviews are created as comments. And comments are visible in BuddyPress activity.
There’s a setting for this in GD Buddypress addon called:
Track new review activity in BuddyPress

when a review is created for a listing then this review is shown in the buddypress activity as a comment which people can replay to. But when someone replays they are just commenting on a comment, most people will think that they are actually writing a replay on a review (but they are not).

I can’t find any logic in this because a review is not a comment and a comment is not a review.

Logical solution would be to show the review in buddypress activity as a link to the listing, and you should not be able to write any comments for that link.

Hi,
Sorry guys, it’s my mistake, thanks to @giri who noticed the misspelled word “recieved” I just realized that there are no live notifications with GD+buddypress for reviews, there’s only the GD+buddypress activity field for reviews. My developer added function in my themes functions.php for live notifications for GD reviews.

it looks like this:

add_action('comment_post', 'KLEO_Child_add_custom_notification_for_review', 10, 1);

function KLEO_Child_add_custom_notification_for_review($comment_ID) {
    $comment = get_comment($comment_ID);
    $post = get_post($comment->comment_post_ID);
    $author = $post->post_author;
    $recipients = apply_filters('bp_messages_recipients', array($author));
    $content = 'Service : <a href="' . esc_url(get_permalink($post->ID)) . '">' . $post->post_title . '</a>';

    if (is_user_logged_in()) {
        $user_id = get_current_user_id();
        messages_new_message(array(
            'sender_id' => $user_id,
            'recipients' => $recipients, // Can be an array of usernames, user_ids or mixed.
            'subject' => 'You have recieved new review for your service</a>.',
            'content' => $content,
            'date_sent' => bp_core_current_time(),
            'error_type' => 'wp_error'
        ));

        bp_core_add_message(__('Message successfully sent.', 'buddypress'), 'success');
    }
}

So.. this has actually nothing to do with GD support 🙂

BUT, if some kind soul out there has the time to look into this function then you will see that the message that notifies about a new review for your listing is sent as a buddypress private message but I would like to send it as a regular buddypress notification. someone knows what I need to change?

found it, it was geodirectory-en_US.po and my themes .po file

thanks!
