Remove the Activity Tab from the buddypress profile page

Hi All,
This is my first post in this forum. I am working on a buddypress site (V 1.6.1). The requirement is to have only the message, friends and settings tab in the member profile page.
I figured out that if we want to remove the activity tab, we can do so by commenting out

parent::setup_nav( $main_nav, $sub_nav ); in the function setup_nav()

in buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-loader.php

I know that its not a very good idea to change the core files. But I dont know how to achieve this in bp-custom.php.
Is there a way to achieve this in the bp-custom.php file or override the core buddypress functionality somehow?

Any pointers in this regard would be of great help.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Siloni

function bp_remove_nav_tabs() {

bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘activity’ );

}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_remove_nav_tabs’, 15 );

Thanks for your reply modemlooper. I copy pasted your code in bp-custom.php
But I am getting the below error:

Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in
Site\wordpress\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-template.php on line 823

Now I am getting the error:

Page Not Found
We’re sorry, but we can’t find the page that you’re looking for. Perhaps searching will help.

Is the parent_id passed to bp_core_remove_nav_item correct?

That’s the code to remove tabs. Make sure it it tyled corectly. Cutting and pasting is not good. Type it out.

It’s still not working. I see that if I remove the following lines of code from bp-core-template.php (function bp_is_current_component), then I dont get any error and the activity tab is also removed from the nav bar.

} elseif ( isset( $bp->{$component}->root_slug ) && $bp->{$component}->root_slug == $bp->current_component ) {
$is_current_component = true;

// Because slugs can differ from root_slugs, we should check them too
} elseif ( isset( $bp->{$component}->slug ) && $bp->{$component}->slug == $bp->current_component ) {
$is_current_component = true;

Edit core code at your own peril. The code I suggest works. It’s used in many sites and it is in a plugin I crested that has been downloaded more than 50,000 times. If you have been editing core code I think you should revert your install back to a fresh one. If you run into problems no one here will be able to help you fix it if core code has been changed.

Try:
bp_core_remove_nav_item( $bp->activity->slug );

Hi,
You are right. Even I dont want to edit the core code. I will install a fresh version of buddypress and see if that works. I will update this thread with the results.

Thanks again Modemlooper for your valuable feedback and time.

Siloni

Hi Modemlooper,
I am installed both wordpress and buddypress again today. But I am still getting the same error.
I have added the following to my bp-custom.php. The default highlighted tab is the friends tab after adding define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘friends’ );.

activity->slug );

}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_remove_nav_tabs’, 15 );

?>

The code got truncated in my earlier post. I have added the following in the bp-custom.php. This is inside the php tags.

define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘friends’ );

function bp_remove_nav_tabs() {
global $bp;

bp_core_remove_nav_item( $bp->activity->slug );

}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_remove_nav_tabs’, 15 );

I don’t know why it’s not working for you. Try this:

function bp_remove_nav_tabs() {
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav['activity'] = false;
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘bp_remove_nav_tabs’, 999 );

So I guess no one figured this out yet? It needs a check if the user is logged in and if they are a friend to display the activity tab in the members profile. It also needs a check to see if it is the current user. If the current user is logged in and they see a member that they are not friends with in the members section then when they click on the members name then the activity tab should be omitted. Anyone got any thoughts on this or is this something we have to figure out on our own?

@modemlooper your code works to a degree:
`function bp_remove_nav_tabs() {
global $bp;
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘activity’ );

}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_remove_nav_tabs’, 15 );`

It gets rid of the activity tab including people you are friends with which is not good, and if you click on your own name in the members list then it fires of the error:
Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-template.php on line 823. so whats the problem?

@modemlooper I wrote this function and it works without errors but it doesn’t show the profile activity tab if your friends with that user so I am thinking a friend check needs to be placed so it will show it if your friends. Anyway check out the code and see what you think should be done:
`
function hide_non_friend_profile_activity_tab(){
if(bp_is_my_profile()|| is_super_admin())
return ;

bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘activity’);

}
add_action(‘bp_friends_setup_nav’,'hide_non_friend_profile_activity_tab’);
`
