BuddyPress.org

Hey Henry,

Thank you so much! That worked perfectly.

I forgot to mention though that the “Name” profile field still shows up on theer BuddyPress profile page. Do you know any code that I could use to hide that field?

Thanks so much

Dear @djpaul ,
please ignore my previous reply.

I found out that the // ‘activity_update’, works a bit TOO well/much 😉 , since it also removes the activity information about the new comments created in blogs.

Please, is there any specific removal as // ‘activity_update’, — however, this one only removes those which are posted in Buddypress Profiles?

This would mean… I would still see:
[username] commented the post [postname]

However, if someone replies the BuddyPress activity/comments the
[username] posted a new activity comment
Will not show/ create.

Thank you very much

I found this handy

It works in BP-custom.php — im trying to get it to load instead of “alphabetical”

// Exit if accessed directly
if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
 
class BP_Loop_Filters {
 
    /**
     * Constructor
     */
    public function __construct() {
        $this->setup_actions();
    }
 
    /**
     * Actions
     *
     * @uses bp_is_active()
     * @uses is_multisite()
     */
    private function setup_actions() {
        /**
         * Adds the random order to the select boxes of the Members, Groups and Blogs directory pages
         */
        // Members component is core, so it will be available
        add_action( 'bp_members_directory_order_options', array( $this, 'random_order' ) );
 
        // You need to check Groups component is available
        if( bp_is_active( 'groups' ) )
            add_action( 'bp_groups_directory_order_options',  array( $this, 'random_order' ) );
 
        // You need to check WordPress config and that Blogs Component is available
        if( is_multisite() && bp_is_active( 'blogs' ) )
            add_action( 'bp_blogs_directory_order_options',   array( $this, 'random_order' ) );
    }
 
    /**
     * Displays a new option in the Members/Groups & Blogs directories
     *
     * <a class="bp-suggestions-mention" href="https://buddypress.org/members/return/" rel="nofollow">@return</a> string html output
     */
    public function random_order() {
        ?>
        <option value="random"><?php _e( 'Random', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
        <?php
    }
 
}
 
// 1, 2, 3 go !
function bp_loop_filters() {
    return new BP_Loop_Filters();
}
 
add_action( 'bp_include', 'bp_loop_filters' );

OK this was the error when I did the wp-debug:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_is_front_page() in /home/longmans/public_html/positiveplusone.com/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php on line 21

I deactivated all plugins and the site was showing.

I re-enabled BuddyPress as the first plugin and the site did not show when I pressed View Site.

It’s the BuddyPress plugin but I don’t know what/how to fix it.

I want to list the activity for a specific group, not list of groups. I have not continued withe template method danbp. I’ve tried everything you mentioned including the bp_parse_args(). I just couldn’t get it to work. I could get it change the amount of list items but not display a selected group activity.

But I have gone back to using the activity loop now, trying to incorporate the code you gave me.

Here is the activity loop, how would you incorporate your code above:

<?php if ( bp_has_groups() ) : ?>
 
    <div class="pagination">
 
        <div class="pag-count" id="group-dir-count">
            <?php bp_groups_pagination_count() ?>
        </div>
 
        <div class="pagination-links" id="group-dir-pag">
            <?php bp_groups_pagination_links() ?>
        </div>
 
    </div>
 
    <ul id="groups-list" class="item-list">
    <?php while ( bp_groups() ) : bp_the_group(); ?>
 
        <li>
            <div class="item-avatar">
                <a href="<?php bp_group_permalink() ?>"><?php bp_group_avatar( 'type=thumb&width=50&height=50' ) ?></a>
            </div>
 
            <div class="item">
                <div class="item-title"><a href="<?php bp_group_permalink() ?>"><?php bp_group_name() ?></a></div>
                <div class="item-meta"><span class="activity"><?php printf( __( 'active %s ago', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_group_last_active() ) ?></span></div>
 
                <div class="item-desc"><?php bp_group_description_excerpt() ?></div>
 
                <?php do_action( 'bp_directory_groups_item' ) ?>
            </div>
 
            <div class="action">
                <?php bp_group_join_button() ?>
 
                <div class="meta">
                    <?php bp_group_type() ?> / <?php bp_group_member_count() ?>
                </div>
 
                <?php do_action( 'bp_directory_groups_actions' ) ?>
            </div>
 
            <div class="clear"></div>
        </li>
 
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    </ul>
 
    <?php do_action( 'bp_after_groups_loop' ) ?>
 
<?php else: ?>
 
    <div id="message" class="info">
        <p><?php _e( 'There were no groups found.', 'buddypress' ) ?></p>
    </div>
 
<?php endif; ?>

I’m sorry if this is annoying you, I do appreciate your help. I’ve only been working with buddypress for about a week.

Thanks

While we are at it, is there a way to disable my blog posts from automatically showing up as my buddypress activity posts? Thank you very much in advance.

@danbp

Big thanks! its definitely got me to the right direction..
though… im a little nervous to make updates on Buddypress.js

-im trying it out now on twenty seventeen

I use the BP PROFILE SEARCH plugin (mandatory for members search form i think… because if Deactivate it search form deseapered)
and SuitePlugins – Advanced XProfile Fields for BuddyPress

Hi danbp, thank you for your response. Unfortunately I’m not sure how I can get this to work.

Can you please show me a loop that will show all activity for say a group with ID 2. Or even with a slug, say ‘group_slug’.

Here is the loop I am using:

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . "&primary_id=2" ) ) : ?>

<?php while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity(); ?>
 
        <?php locate_template( array( 'buddypress/activity/entry.php' ), true, false ); ?>
 
    <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

I tried both to incorporate your code into the activity loop but it didn’t work.

I want display this activty not on a buddypress page. I want it to go on homepage. I can already get the group ID I just want to be able to make a loop that displays the activity of a curtain groupusing the group ID.

If you could show me a whole complete loop that would work I would be really greatful.

Thanks
