BuddyPress

Hello Buddy Press World!

I have had 2 weeks of sleepless nights prepping our Buddypress child theme. And I have hit a road block that has me stumped after several hours of googling. Hope there is help

I am changing all links attached to user avatars and displayed user names to a custom link. So far I have been able to do this across most of the theme. The area that has me stumped is the comment section with in the activity loop.

I see that the info I need to change is controlled by bp_activity_action(). However, I can’t seem to find where this is function is defined.

So basically I need to change the link structure for the avatar and user name as it is created with in bp_activity_action.

My child is based on the Default theme.

Thank you all so much for you help.

Peace.- Paul

Hi Paul,

If I understand your question correctly, you should be able to find some help in the function bp_activity_new_comment(), in bp-activity.php. Look especially around line 752. That’s where the action is put together for activity comments. In a plugin, you can filter ‘bp_activity_comment_action’ something like this:

function bbg_comment_reply_action( $action, $userlink ) {
   // Do whatever you want to $action, and then:
   return $action;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_comment_action', 'bbg_comment_reply_action', 10, 2 );

Good luck!

Thank you, both!

@Chouf1: Thanks, but I don’t think that is what I am looking for. Here is an example of what I have already done across most of the site:

<a href="<?php bp_user_link() ?>profile/">
		<?php bp_displayed_user_avatar( 'type=full' ) ?>
	</a>

<a href="<?php bp_member_permalink() ?>profile/"><?php bp_member_name() ?></a>

I want to do this to the avatars and displayed user names for every status update and comment post.

@Boone: As I alluded to, I haven’t had much sleep lately. So I’ll see if I can wrap my head around this with out asking any more questions. But I may be back!

I do have one more for now though: I also realized that to fully implement this feature I will need to affect: acomment-meta and acomment avatar as well.

Edit: I just re read what you wrote. It looks like you, Boone, are already referring to this part. If I understand you correctly, then I also need to affect the activity header for status updates.

Thanks again!

@embergermedia added backticks before and after your codes so they show up in forum pages.

@mercime Thanks!

Was too tired, my eyes missed that line just below the comment box

I think I can be happy for now. This is what I did:

Added

define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );

to wp-config.php

So now every instance of the users name, or avatar, links to their profile instead of the wall. Would the experts here say this is a good, upgrade proof, solution?

Thanks again.

That’s the way to do it

Thanks again @mercime !
