BuddyPress.org

Which BP Theme are you using ( Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options ) then I can be more accurate in my testing.

That’s great! It took me a while to figure it out and it would have definitely been a downer if it didn’t work.

I also worked out how to combine all of the activity types onto one page here https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-combine-activity-tabs-to-one/ it may also be of interest.

I think what you are asking for is that group activity should not be posted to the activity page.

group activities for public groups are automatically shown site-wide by default and I can’t see anyway to change this. The only option I could come up with, which is far from ideal is to delete the activity that is set sitewide and add it again with the setting change to hide sitewide:

add_action( 'bp_activity_add', 'bpex_hide_group_activity' );

function bpex_hide_group_activity( $r, $activity_id ) {
	
	if ( $r['component'] == buddypress()->groups->id ) {
		$group = groups_get_group( $r['item_id'] );
       		if ( isset( $group->status ) && 'public' == $group->status ) {
                     bp_activity_delete( 'id' => $activity_id );
		     $r['hide_sitewide' => true;
		     $new_id = bp_activity_add( $r );
                }
	}
}

It’s not really ideal as any notifications that get sent based on the first activity will result in a not found error when clicked so you will probably want to improve the logic used to filter our specific activities and not all group activities as I’ve done here.

I’ve recently wrote a pluugin that allows you to devolve authority for each of the BuddyPress components to other roles. So a non admin could manage the extended profile information for all users. It’s called BP Devolved Authority. However if I understand you correctly then this may not be what you are looking for. I’m not aware of any other plugins that allow finer granularity of managing BP Users.

Hi there,

My suggestion is that you add a new menu item “All” and create a new set of queries for the page then make that page the default landing page for the profile activity page. Here’s my code to do this:

function bpex_set_member_default_nav() {
 
		if ( ! bp_is_user_profile() && ! bp_is_user_activity() && ! bp_is_user() ) {
		    return;
	         }

                bp_core_new_nav_default(
		array(
			'parent_slug'       => buddypress()->activity->id,
		// other "activity" sub_nav slugs : personal favorites friends groups mentons
			'subnav_slug'       => 'all-activity',
			'screen_function'   => 'bp_activity_screen_all_activity'
		)
	);
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpex_set_member_default_nav', 20 );

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpex_just_me_tab', 50 );
add_action( 'bp_setup_admin_bar', 'bpex_admin_bar_add', 50 );

function bpex_just_me_tab() {
	
	if ( ! bp_is_user_profile() && ! bp_is_user_activity() && ! bp_is_user() ) {
		return;
	}
	
	global $bp;
	$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
	
		bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
			'name'            => _x( 'All', 'Profile activity screen sub nav', 'buddypress' ),
			'slug'            => 'all-activity',
			'parent_url'      => bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ) . 'activity/',
			'parent_slug'     => 'activity',
			'screen_function' => 'bp_activity_screen_all_activity',
			'position'        => 10
		) );

}

function bpex_admin_bar_add() {
	
	global $wp_admin_bar, $bp;

	if ( ! bp_use_wp_admin_bar() || defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	$user_id = get_current_user_id();
	
	if ( ! $user_id || $user_id == 0 || ! is_numeric( $user_id ) ) {
		return;
	}
	
	// Personal.
	//$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( 'my-account-activity-personal', 'my-account-activity' );

	$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
		'parent'   => 'my-account-activity',
		'id'       => 'my-account-activity-all-activity',
		'title'    => 'All',
		'href'     => bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ) . 'activity/all-activity/',
		'position' => 10
	) );
}
function bp_activity_screen_all_activity() {

	do_action( 'bp_activity_screen_all_activity' );

	bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_activity_template_all_activity', 'members/single/home' ) );
}

function bp_activity_filter_all_activity_scope( $retval = array(), $filter = array() ) {

	// Determine the user_id.
	if ( ! empty( $filter['user_id'] ) ) {
		$user_id = $filter['user_id'];
	} else {
		$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id()
			? bp_displayed_user_id()
			: bp_loggedin_user_id();
	}

	// Should we show all items regardless of sitewide visibility?
	$show_hidden = array();
	if ( ! empty( $user_id ) && $user_id !== bp_loggedin_user_id() ) {
		$show_hidden = array(
			'column' => 'hide_sitewide',
			'value'  => 0
		);
	}

	// Determine groups of user.
	$groups = groups_get_user_groups( $user_id );
	if ( empty( $groups['groups'] ) ) {
		$groups = array( 'groups' => 0 );
	}

	// Determine the favorites.
	$favs = bp_activity_get_user_favorites( $user_id );
	if ( empty( $favs ) ) {
		$favs = array( 0 );
	}

	// Determine friends of user.
	$friends = friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user_id );
	if ( empty( $friends ) ) {
		$friends = array( 0 );
	}

	$retval = array(
		'relation' => 'OR',
		array(
			'relation' => 'AND',
			array(
				'column'  => 'user_id',
				'compare' => 'IN',
				'value'   => (array) $friends
			)
		),
		array(
			'relation' => 'AND',
			array(
				'column' => 'component',
				'value'  => buddypress()->groups->id
			),
			array(
				'column'  => 'item_id',
				'compare' => 'IN',
				'value'   => (array) $groups['groups']
			)
		),
		array(
			'relation' => 'AND',
			array(
				'column' => 'user_id',
				'value'  => $user_id
			)
		),
		array(
			'relation' => 'AND',
			array(
				'column'  => 'id',
				'compare' => 'IN',
				'value'   => (array) $favs
			)
		),
		array(
			'relation' => 'AND',
			array(
				'column'  => 'content',
				'compare' => 'LIKE',

				// Start search at @ symbol and stop search at closing tag delimiter.
				'value'   => '@' . bp_activity_get_user_mentionname( $user_id ) . '<'
			)
		),
		// We should only be able to view sitewide activity content for friends.
		array(
			'column' => 'hide_sitewide',
			'value'  => 0
		),

		// Overrides.
		'override' => array(
			'filter'      => array( 'user_id' => 0 ),
			'show_hidden' => true
		),
	);
	

	return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_set_all-activity_scope_args', 'bp_activity_filter_all_activity_scope', 10, 2 );

Once you have done that you would also want to overload the buddypress/bp-templates/your-template/members/single/activity.php to make sure this new page contains the post update form:

Change:

if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_my_profile() && ( !bp_current_action() || bp_is_current_action( 'just-me' ) ) )
	bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );

To:

if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_my_profile() && ( !bp_current_action() || bp_is_current_action( 'all-activity' ) ) )
	bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );

Note: with this method there is a danger of duplicating activity since a friend posting to a group would show up in the groups search as well as the friends search etc. so you may want to adjust the $retval criteria.

Also you might want to add a post form for visiting users so they can leave a comment for the user, you could ad this:

function bpex_load_mention_me() {
	
	if ( get_current_user_id() != bp_displayed_user_id() ) {
		$_GET['r'] = bp_activity_get_user_mentionname( bp_displayed_user_id() );
		bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );
	}

}

add_action( 'bp_before_member_body', 'bpex_load_mention_me' );

Is this not regarding WordPress post comments on a WordPress custom post type? If so it’s nothing to do with BuddyPress.

Hey, it looks like I gave up just a tad early. I think I’ve got it working now:

function bpex_set_member_default_nav() {
 
    	if ( ! bp_is_user_profile() && ! bp_is_user_activity() && ! bp_is_user() ) {
		return;
	}
        
        if ( bp_displayed_user_id() == get_current_user_id() ) {
        
        bp_core_new_nav_default(
            array(
                'parent_slug'       => buddypress()->activity->id,
	        // other "activity" sub_nav slugs : personal favorites friends groups mentons
                'subnav_slug'       => 'friends',
                'screen_function'   => 'bp_activity_screen_friends'
            )
        );
    }
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpex_set_member_default_nav', 20 );

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpex_just_me_tab', 50 );
add_action( 'bp_setup_admin_bar', 'bpex_admin_bar_add', 50 );

function bpex_just_me_tab() {
	
	if ( ! bp_is_user_profile() && ! bp_is_user_activity() && ! bp_is_user() ) {
		return;
	}
	
	global $bp;
	$is_own_view = false;
	$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
	
	if ( get_current_user_id() == $user_id ) $is_own_view = true;
	

	if ( $is_own_view ) {

		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'just_me');

		bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
			'name'            => _x( 'Personal', 'Profile activity screen sub nav', 'buddypress' ),
			'slug'            => 'just-me',
			'parent_url'      => bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ) . 'activity/',
			'parent_slug'     => 'activity',
			'screen_function' => 'bp_activity_screen_my_activity',
			'position'        => 10
		) );
	}

}

function bpex_admin_bar_add() {
	
	global $wp_admin_bar, $bp;

	if ( ! bp_use_wp_admin_bar() || defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	$user_id = get_current_user_id();
	
	if ( ! $user_id || $user_id == 0 || ! is_numeric( $user_id ) ) {
		return;
	}
	
	// Personal.
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( 'my-account-activity-personal', 'my-account-activity' );

	$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
		'parent'   => 'my-account-activity',
		'id'       => 'my-account-activity-personal',
		'title'    => 'Personal',
		'href'     => bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ) . 'activity/180/',
		'position' => 10
	) );
}

Give it a try

Can you look in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options and let me know which BP Theme you are using?

Theme’s don’t interfere with settings pages I’m afraid, You could try switching to the 2017 theme to test. Could you share a screenshot of the BuddyPress Settings page?, you should have four tabs, Components, Options, Pages and Credits. Do you have those?

Seems to me then that you need to ask WordPress.com support what they have done with it. Reinstalling BuddyPress is unlikely to fix this, it sounds more like that this is not actually true BuddyPress you have running, either that or you’ve not enabled groups but you shared the components page the other day and you had it selected.

Do you have the pages settings screen at all? There should be pages for Members, Activity and Groups at least.

You can find out which page it is by going to Settings>>BuddyPress>>Pages and see the name of the page assigned as the groups directory

The groups directory is a page allocated to display all of your groups in the BuddyPress Pages settings, it normally has the url https://yoursite.com/groups.

It’s really difficult to support wordpress.com users, we have no access so have no idea how BP works on there.

You could try:

function bpex_set_member_default_nav() {
 
    if ( bp_displayed_user_id() == get_current_user_id() ) {
        bp_core_new_nav_default (
            array(
                'parent_slug'       => buddypress()->activity->id,
	        // other "activity" sub_nav slugs : personal favorites friends groups
                'subnav_slug'       => 'mentions',
                'screen_function'   => 'bp_activity_screen_mentions'
            )
        );
    }
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpex_set_member_default_nav', 20 );
