BuddyPress.org

Really, I don’t know why, but is not working…

I add it like this in my themes faction.php

 add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', function( $retval ) {
   $retval['action'] = array(
        'activity_update',
        'activity_comment',
        'updated_profile',
    );
    return $retval;
} );

but nothing works.

add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', function( $retval ) {
    // Convert $retval['action'] into an array.
    $parts = explode( ',', $retval['action'] );

    // Remove new_avatar items.
    if ( ( $key = array_search( 'new_avatar', $parts ) ) !== false ) {
        unset( $parts[$key] );
    }

// Remove updated_profile.
if ( ( $key = array_search( 'updated_profile', $parts ) ) !== false ) {
    unset( $parts[$key] );
}

    // Convert $parts back into a comma separated string.
    $retval['action'] = implode( ',', $parts );

    return $retval;
} );

@sharmavishal Thanks for the suggestion! “BuddyPress Wall” goes beyond what I’m looking for and seems to have quite a few unhappy users (Even most of the 5 star reviews are issues). So, I’m afraid it will cause more issues than it would solve.

I’ve found a tutorial here using bp_parse_args() to create an activity loop with ‘Personal’ and ‘Friends Activity’ only, but not a way to isolate the loop into its own subnav tab “All” (The code currently effects all activity loops universally [i.e. Friends, Personal, Mentions, Favorites, Site wide, all become Friends+Personal loops]).

Here’s the code to filter the activity loop into Friends+Personal,

function my_filter_activity( $loop ) {
    
    $loop['scope'] = 'just-me,friends';
 
    return $loop;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_filter_activity' );

The next step would be isolating the loop into an ‘All’ activity subnav tab/button.

Any ideas?

I tried it, but it din’t work. At least it didn’t stop the filter rules already set up, like they did when I tried before.. So only words with lion shows up, but also sea lion.. Even with the code set up exactly like yours. Like this:

function my_bp_activities_search_term_on_page_241( $retval ) {
    // Add search term for correct page
    if ( is_page(241) ) {
         $filter_query[] = array(
        'relation' => 'OR',
        array(
    'column'  => 'content',
    'value'   => 'lion',
    'compare' => 'LIKE',
    array(
        'column'  => 'content',
        'value'   => 'sea lion',
        'compare' => 'NOT LIKE'
    )
),
           array(
    'column'  => 'content',
    'value'   => 'lion',
    'compare' => 'LIKE',
    array(
        'column'  => 'content',
        'value'   => 'sea lion',
        'compare' => 'NOT LIKE'
    )
  ),
);
    $retval['filter_query'] = $filter_query;
    }
 
    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_bp_activities_search_term_on_page_241' );

Okay, so what I tried now didn’t work, but that’s because I really do not know what I am doing. I’m just testing the waters with what I learned from the search terms and the code you just posted. I ended up having my functions.php file looking like this:

$filter_query[92] = array(
    'relation' => 'OR',
    array(
        'column'  => 'content',
        'value'   => 'philippine tube-nosed fruit bat',
        'compare' => 'LIKE'
    ),
    array(
        'column'  => 'content',
        'value'   =>  'nyctimene rabori',
        'compare' => 'LIKE'
    )
);

function my_bp_activities_search_term_on_page_92( $retval ) {
    // Add search term for correct page
    if ( is_page(92) ) {
        $retval['filter_query'] = $filter_query[92];
    }
 
    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_bp_activities_search_term_on_page_92' );

And that clearly did not work, so what will work?

Thanks! I think I got it now!

I just added this to my functions.php:

function my_bp_activities_search_term_on_page_92( $retval ) {
    // Add search term for correct page
    if ( bp_is_page(92) ) {
        $retval['search_term'] = 'philippine tube-nosed fruit bat';
    }
 
    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_bp_activities_search_term_on_page_92' );

Do you think this will work? I do not have any ways to test if it actually works yet.. Another thing, how do I add multiple search terms? Everytime I tried adding another one I got an error, I tried doing this: $retval['search_term'] = 'philippine tube-nosed fruit bat', 'philippine tube-nosed bat', 'nyctimene rabori';

I figured it out. This will help everyone who has this question:

function omni_filter_activity( $retval ) {
    $retval['action'] = 'activity_update'; // change scope per action
    return $retval;
} add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'omni_filter_activity' );

Thanks Henry. I’ve got more info on this to help the core team fix this issue.

I think all WordPress conditionals are not working correctly inside the bp_after_has_activities_parse_args filter. Only BuddyPress conditionals are working inside it.

I also have custom member pages too using bp_after_has_members_parse_args, but WordPress conditionals inside that are all working fine, example:

// filter member pages
function cm_members_filter( $retval ) {

	if ( is_page('custom-page-3') ) {
		$retval['per_page'] = 1;
	}	
	
	if ( is_page('custom-page-4') ) {
		$retval['per_page'] = 5;
	}	
	
	if ( is_search() ) {  
		$retval['per_page'] = 3;
	}	
		
    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', 'cm_members_filter' );

It is just the activity parse args that is having problems with WordPress conditionals. I can provide further info to help figure out why WordPress conditionals don’t work correctly inside bp_after_has_activities_parse_args, it has something to do with the way ajax is used on the load more button to load more items:

If I remove activity ajax features by removing <div class=”activity”></div> or by removing bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.min.js. The load more button now works like a pagination next page button (similar to the members directory pagination). This makes the WordPress conditionals work fine and all my custom activity pages are now filtering correctly.

So to conclude, WordPress conditionals are working OK inside bp_after_has_members_parse_args, but they are not working correctly inside bp_after_has_activities_parse_args unless the activity ajax is removed.

Thanks @r-a-y that does work for the front page, but bp_is_component_front_page( 'activity' ) or the one I just suggested bp_is_activity_front_page() doesn’t seem to work correctly when using the activity parse args filter. The best solution I’ve got now is using ! bp_is_user() && bp_is_current_component( 'activity' ) This makes this work correctly:

/* Display just the activity updates for who the the logged-in 
user is following and updates from the logged in user*/

function am_activity_filter( $retval ) {
   
   if ( ! bp_is_user() && bp_is_current_component( 'activity' ) ) {  
	   $retval['scope'] = 'following,just-me'; 
	   $retval['action'] = 'activity_update';  
   }
   
   return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'am_activity_filter' );

The problem with this conditional bp_is_component_front_page( 'activity' ) in my activity parse args filter is activity items keep showing from everyone instead of the items from who a user is following (I’m using your master follow plugin). The items that are not supposed to display, disappear when the user refreshes the page which makes the correct items display, but they keep coming back through the ‘load newest’. Have you tried this? Nevertheless ! bp_is_user() && bp_is_current_component( 'activity' ) is the one that is working correctly for this.

Thanks @shanebp – This is our problem. This whole solution hinges on adding meta with the blog id to EVERYTHING that could appear in an activity stream. (We also have Activity Plus Plugin active on one site and those posts seem to be missing getting the meta added)

Is there something we hook to in order to add meta to all activity? we tried add_action('bp_activity', 'where_activity_from', 10, 3); but it’s still not adding meta to all.

Or is there a better way to filter activity streams to only show activity from the current site on a multisite setup?

Here’s our latest attempt at a must-use plugin, but not all activity is shown implying the meta values are not being added:

<?php

// Add Blog ID meta to activity posts
add_action('bp_activity', 'where_activity_from', 10, 3);
function where_activity_from($content, $user_id, $activity_id)
{
    bp_activity_add_meta($activity_id, '_source_blog', get_current_blog_id());
}

// Filter specific sites for activity from that site only
function bp_after_has_activities_parse_args_func($r)
{
    $blog_id = get_current_blog_id();
    global $wpdb;
    $sql = $wpdb->prepare("SELECT activity_id FROM " . $wpdb->base_prefix . "bp_activity_meta WHERE meta_key=%s AND meta_value=%d", '_source_blog', $blog_id);

    $ids = array_values($wpdb->get_col($sql));
    if (empty($ids)) {
        $r['in'] = '-1';
    } else {
        $r['in'] = $ids;
    }
    return $r;
}

if (get_current_blog_id() !== 1) {
    add_filter('bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args_func');
}

Works fine with a little change:

function omni_filter_activity( $retval ) {
    $retval['action'] = 'bbp_reply_create,bbp_topic_create'; // change scope per action
    return $retval;
} add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'omni_filter_activity' );
