BuddyPress

Ok, what im trying to do is simple:

if ( bp_activity_latest_update() ) :
       then show the update
else
       then show this

basically, it’s for the new users who obviously haven’t posted an update yet.

i figured it was something simple, anyone have any ideas?

or is that the wrong tag?

Try

if ( bp_get_activity_latest_update() )
       bp_activity_latest_update(); //then show the update
else
       // then show this

thanks alot boone! lol…i thought no one would EVER answer me lol.

your a life saver

Im haveing a problem lol. its only working on the members profile page, i want it to show on all pages. Its in the side bar, well, the idea is to show your latest post in the sidebar

Yeah, without a $user_id argument, it’ll only work on profile pages. See bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php bp_activity_latest_update().

Try:

if ( bp_get_activity_latest_update( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) )
       bp_activity_latest_update( bp_loggedin_user_id() ); //then show the update
else
       // then show this

ha! there we go, and we’re in business! thanks again boone, i appreciate it

Where do i put the code??

I’d like to preface the update (it it’s available ) with:
‘and the latest update was:
‘

Ideas?

I was able to preface the update if it existed with this:
‘
$latest_update = bp_get_activity_latest_update();
if ( bp_get_activity_latest_update() )
echo “and the latest update was:
$latest_update “;
else
‘
