Is there any way that I can create activity feed restrictions? In other words, only logged in users can see the activity feeds of members activity feeds.

There are some good plugins out there like BP Activity Privacy. But I need to make something compatible with BP Media.

Thanks,

The activity feed page is the only one that is missing my admin bar as well as the sidebar and edit link at the bottom for me. Main issue is that missing sidebar, it connects our members to the blog and tag cloud, etc.

WP3.5.1 multisite subdomain
buddypress 1.7.2

Hello! First, what i’m using:

• WP: 3.6 beta3
• BP: 1.7.2
• BBPress: 2.3.2
• Theme: default theme (child)

What i’m trying to do is create a custom template to load activities filtered by terms. So, i taked code from activity-loop.php to create a new “custom.php” file, put it on template root and create a new page using this template.

This is the content of my custom template for pages. Sorry if it’s too long, it’s the same content of activity-loop.php, except on “activity” div:

<?php
/**
* Template Name: Games

My idea is to load different stream for each game, so the page “Chrono Trigger (SNES)” would load activities containing terms like “Chrono Trigger”. I don’t know the best way to do this, so tried to get page slug and use as filter:

$myslug = the_slug(); // using a function to get slug

if ( bp_has_activities('search_terms='.$myslug.'') ) : do_action( 'bp_before_activity_loop' ); 
/*if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ) : */
/* Show pagination if JS is not enabled, since the "Load More" link will do nothing */ ?>
	<noscript>
    <div class="pagination">
    <div class="pag-count"><?php bp_activity_pagination_count(); ?></div>
    <div class="pagination-links"><?php bp_activity_pagination_links(); ?></div>
    </div>
    </noscript>
    
	<?php if ( empty( $_POST['page'] ) ) : ?>
	<ul id="activity-stream" class="activity-list item-list">
	<?php endif;
	while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity(); 
	locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true, false ); 
	endwhile;
	if ( bp_activity_has_more_items() ) : ?>

	<li class="load-more">
	<a href="#more"><?php _e( 'Load More', 'buddypress' ); ?></a>
	</li>

	<?php endif; 
	if ( empty( $_POST['page'] ) ) : ?>
	</ul>
	<?php endif;
	
	else : ?>
	<div id="message" class="info">
	<p><?php _e( 'Sorry, there was no activity found. Please try a different filter.', 'buddypress' ); ?></p>
	</div>

	<?php endif;
	do_action( 'bp_after_activity_loop' ); ?>
	<form action="" name="activity-loop-form" id="activity-loop-form" method="post">
	<?php wp_nonce_field( 'activity_filter', '_wpnonce_activity_filter' ); ?>
	</form>

</div><!-- .activity -->

This is the function to get slug:

function the_slug() {
    $post_data = get_post($post->ID, ARRAY_A);
    $slug = $post_data['post_name'];
    return $slug; 
}

It works, but only with pages containing the very same slug (for example, if the slug is “Chrono”, it gets all activities with Chrono, but “chrono-trigger” don’t work). There is a better approach to filter this activity stream, i suppose my method is a mess.
I’m begginer with Buddypress so any help is appreciated.

Coding a child theme for BuddyPress. If I leave members/single directory empty, I can see the individual activity posts feed for each user. As soon as I add home.php OR members-header.php, activity posts disappear. I cannot leave either file in the directory, nor both files in the directory. As soon as both are removed, the functionality returns (pulling in the default theme from BuddyPress core.)

Is there a file, hook or action that showing the activity in the profile (for only that user) that I may be missing? I’ve even copied the home.php and members-header.php from the BuddyPress default and I still get the same result.

I should note that the activity page, with all sitewide posts, works completely fine.

=== BuddyPress NeoFollow ===
Contributors: EthanVan, MegaInfo
Requires at least: WordPress 3.4, BuddyPress 1.5
Tested up to: WordPress 3.4.2 / BuddyPress 1.6.1
Stable Version: 1.0

BuddyPress NeoFollow allows members to follow other members’ activity.

This newest follow plugin creates two button classes; one for the profile page and one for the members directory.

By using two CSS button classes we eliminate the overlapping button problem in the members directory that has been plaguing users of the previous follow plugins without effecting the follow button on the members’ profile pages.

This plugin is compatible with Private Message Followers Only and uses the same data as BuddyPress Followers and BuddyPress FollowMe so you can transition to it seamlessly.

Download the plugin here: http://ethanvandal.com/bp-plugins/bp-neofollow.zip

You will also need to download the required BuddyPress child theme to eliminate the overlapping button problem.

Download the child theme here: http://ethanvandal.com/bp-themes/bp-neofollow-bc.zip

This child theme invokes the use of the BP Default theme but can be modified to use any BuddyPress theme. If you need to use this with another theme please ask around on the BuddyPress.org forums. I do not guarantee support for use with other themes however, I will try and help out as much as I can.

This is a repost due to inappropriate attack comments from yesterday which resulted in the thread being locked.

Constructive feedback always appreciated.
