Hello good people,
I’ve been customizing my activity stream and the thing is I’ve been trying to figure out the php code that echoes the username in activity stream. I deleted because I want to display only the content. But besides that I need to display only contents author.

hope you can help me with my issue!
thx

well the “action” is where the username is displayed but that contains the entire “title” of the activity stream. ( thisuser posted an update: )

but you could use bp_get_activity_user_id() in the loop and reference one of the bp_core get username functions

@blacktattoo – You could try the BP Usernames Only plugin if you want to replace the display name with the username:

If you want to add it to the activity content, you could apply a filter to “bp_get_activity_content”.

Thanks guys, both of you have been a real help … I managed to figure it out
My solution was following…
In my template I used a function bp_activity_user_id() which echoed user ID , but instead of ID I needed username or displayname . So in bp-activity-templatetags.php I edited the line 380
from this:
return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_activity_user_id’, $activities_template->activity->user_id );
to this:
return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_activity_user_id’, $activities_template->activity->display_name );

You can see it in action here: http://www.fotografija.ba/slike/?afilter=album

thanks again
