Yeah, that is how I discovered the temporary fix for it. I realize editing core is a no-no but I was at it for a few days trying to figure it out! Thanks for looking into it, @djpaul!
Yeah, the use case for me is because I have a default group that everyone joins automatically. What has happened is when a spammer joins, they’ve been posting in this default group right away. Yet I need people to join this group!
This is for all users, it isn’t specific to a particular member type or activity item either.
A member goes to the activity feed, he wants to click on an activity item, the item redirects to the user’s own activity profile page with a bar across the top (the buddypress notification,) stating, “You do not have access to this activity.”
When clicking on an activity link (the time-stamp link), it now doesn’t bring you to the individual activity. It brings you back to your own profile with a message that says, “You do not have access to this activity.”
@haagsekak I’m sorry, no I didn’t find a solution. Each time I try to modify the plugin’s date either via a new filter/function it only displays one date, really frustrating!
It seems the author no longer offers support for this plugin, and I have been unable to add a function to change the format still.
I tried this:
function format_activity_date() {
$activityDate=bp_get_activity_date_recorded();
// Get GMT offset from root blog
$root_blog_offset = get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, 'gmt_offset' );
// Calculate offset time
$time_offset = $time + ( $root_blog_offset * 3600 );
// Format the time using the offset and return it; date-i18n retrieves the date in localized format
return '' . date_i18n("l, M j, Y, g:ia T", strtotime($activityDate) + $time_offset) . '';
}
add_filter('etivite_bp_activity_bump_comment_posted', 'format_activity_date');
But it still is showing only one date rather than “user1 posted an update:” updated by user2:”
Any ideas @henrywright or anyone would be so appreciated.
@henrywright thank you for pointing me in the right direction by explaining the filtering, etc. I may have enough to go on, now. No, I haven’t tried contacting the author, that’s an idea, too. Thanks again.
@aces Thanks much, that was a great idea. Unfortunately it didn’t work. There has got to be a way to at least make these feeds private. If anyone knows, please let me know.
So I answered my own question by just experimenting. I figure I go ahead and let everyone who is interested in this know how I got everything working. I used the following code and placed it in my bp-custom.php
Hey there, I know this is an old post but the code actually works in BP 1.8. The only minor issue is that the count displays to the far right of the actual favorite link. Any ideas on how to get this next to Favorites like this: Favorite(10) instead of: Favorite delete (10) would be wayy appreciated!
Got it working now, thanks anyway. In case anyone is wondering how, I changed the log in to /wp-admin instead of /wp-login.php in the user email when a user creates a new site and this page will not redirect anyone to a buddypress page.
My site is not yet live, @bphelp I am using a post page as homepage. I don’t know if this will help but as I stated earlier, my site is an MU and I am using sub-domains. So when a user logs in from theirsitename.mysite.com/wp-login.php with any redirect codes I’m using, they too are redirected to a buddypress page which is confusing for the user since they are logging in to edit their site. I basically just need a condition that works properly where I can add if_user_is_admin DON’T redirect or if_user_is on subdomain login page don’t redirect. 😉
