Re: My 2 Cents
Would either of those methods result in faster loading times? Or both probably equal? To me, something like this should obviously be built and only exist if a theme includes it, not something built directly into Buddypress and requiring a hack (or whatever you would consider that) just to not have it.
I also think it would be great to have a tutorial/codex on how to Buddypress’ify a theme or inividual pages without having to use the template pack. Being able to build pages from scratch would be a giant step forward for Buddypress I would think. There is just so much going on behind the programming scene it is spilling over into the front end scene.
I’ve tried to follow this a bit https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/ to produce something like I described in my previous post, but I don’t see the connection between bp_has_activities() and the “accepted arguments.”
bp_has_activities(friends)
…seemed like the only logical way it could work, but no luck. And like I already mentioned, all the files for each activity page are all slurred together and editing them individually, is that even possible? I can’t even find the file for the @mentions page.
@modemlooper I’m not sure how you took what I said that way, I am suggesting for more options and forcing less built in stuff that not everybody wants, but still can be created, like the navigation bar.
I don’t see why any one would not enjoy a notification page, but that is something you could simply not link to if you don’t want it and wouldn’t require any special programming knowledge.
If more people than me have been suggesting a more Facebook like flow, I would guess it is because both do the same thing, but Facebook isn’t as confusing, Buddypress is too anal about things trying to divide everything up and categorize too much. Does anybody really need 5 tabs under the activity tab?
