Hey, thanks a lot. I’ve sorted that now 🙂 I want to put something above the activity stream and when I tried to put a slideshow there (just by adding stuff to the page) I can see it when logged out but not when logged in. Do you know a way around this?

yep, the code I gave you was meant to do that, lol! All you need to do to show the page content to everyone, logged in or logged out, is remove the conditional if/endif tags around the page stuff in the template 😉

Hi, Firstly thank you so much for taking the time to help. I really appreciate it. I’m not a complete newbie, I have done quite a bit to my page science3point0.com however I’m really struggling with designing the new index page. The activity index is now in my theme root folder, what do you mean by ‘Choose ”Activity Index” as the template, and…[Read more]

Well done that man. Thanks r-a-y, so I need to modify the bp like plugin everytime it says friends to say follower, right?

Not necessarily, you need to find the correct function that outputs the follower IDs. Dig around the buddypress-followers plugin.

  hempsworth should maybe think about adding a filter so the bp-like plugin isn’t solely dependent on friends.
  
  Then anyone could easily override this.

@hempsworth Hey, just a quick one – bp like – Fatal error: Call to undefined function friends_get_friend_user_ids() in /home/collabbo/science3point0.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-like/bp-like.php on line 381 – any ideas? WP 3.0.1 bp 1.2.5.2. Cheers

r-a-y replied 14 years, 3 months ago

It’s because you disabled the friends component. I’m guessing you’re using the BP Followers plugin in its place. You’ll need to modify that to use follower ID code.

I’ve found a solution, if you have not fixed it already…

Go to the plugin editor, select the file named “buddypress-like/bp-like.php” then find

$users_friends = friends_get_friend_user_ids($user_id);

And replace with…

//$users_friends = friends_get_friend_user_ids($user_id);
global $wpdb;
$users_friends = $wpdb->get_col(“SELECT…[Read more]

@justbishop Still struggling with the activity stream – I’m not bothered about logged in content so I just copied and pasted the whole bp-activity-feed-sitewide.php code into a page and it doesnt show up. It just comes through as plain text. Any ideas?

<?php echo '’; ?>

Here’s my custom template, minus the featured sites area. Should work fine for you, assuming you’re using the default bp theme (or a child of it that is in the same layout), just dump it in your theme root folder.

To use it, create a new page in your WP admin area, and put the content that you want shown to logged…[Read more]

Thanks a lot, where do I find the activity stream code?

justbishop replied 14 years, 3 months ago

I don’t remember off the top of my head, but it probably something like plugins/buddypress/themes/bp-default/activity, or if you use a child theme, should be in the activity folder there (if there is one)

Mark posted an update 14 years, 3 months ago

@justbishop Hi @justbishop – I love the homepage on your site – I was wanting to get the activity stream on my homepage under some html as you have, do you know what I need to code into the homepage to have the activity stream running underneath?

Also, what plugin do you use for the ‘featured’ section – Any help with this would be amazing.

Thanks,
Mark.

justbishop replied 14 years, 3 months ago

hi, and thanks! I actually just made a custom page template that had the page content wrapped in a logged in conditional, and I think I just c&p’d the activity stream code under that. from there, it was just a matter of creating the page with the logged out content in it, and assigning my custom template to it. pretty easy peasy 🙂

as for the…[Read more]
