@mecceo,

you can also read the doc and try to modify the activity template to your need.

https://codex.buddypress.org/template-updates-2-1/#activity-filter
and search for similar topics:
https://buddypress.org/support/search/custom+activity+page/

3 mounth later….
just tested the defines and they’re working ! You have a cote error in above code. 😉

Try this:
define( 'BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG', 'activitissima' );

Remind also that BP’s activity page, defined in BP settings, must be empty, without shortcodes, template or page model. Just a title. These pages are dynamic, not static like normal WP pages.
If you need to modifiy it, use a template override.

If you still want to understand, please read here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/changing-slugs-with-bp-custom-php-no-change/

You can place this in your theme/functions.php or in bp-custom.php.

It will stop recording entries for 3 types after you include the function.
You can add other types as desired to the $exclude array.

function steve_dont_save_activity( $activity_object ) {
 
    $exclude = array( 'new_avatar', 'updated_profile', 'friendship_created' );
 
    if( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) )
        $activity_object->type = false;
 
}
add_action('bp_activity_before_save', 'steve_dont_save_activity', 1, 1 );

To delete existing entries, use the interface here
[yoursite]/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-activity

Previous snippet changed all avatars (user, blogs and groups) which is not what you want. Here’s a snippet which works almost correctly, but not to 100%. Give it a try anyway.

It changes the user avatar depending of an xprofile value.

(add to bp-custom.php)

function bpfr_my_new_avatar_url() {
global $bp;

	if( bp_is_user() && ! bp_get_member_user_id() ) {
        $user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
    } else {
        $user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
    }

	if ( is_page( 'activity' ) ) {
		$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();	
	}

$ranking = xprofile_get_field_data ('ranking', $user_id );

	if ($ranking == "Top 25") {		
		$url = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/custom_img/25.png';
	}
	
	if ($ranking == "Top 24") {		
		$url = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/custom_img/24.png';
	}
return $url;

}
add_filter( 'bp_core_default_avatar_user', 'bpfr_my_new_avatar_url' );

Create a profile field called “ranking” with 2 options (top 24 & top 25).
Create a folder in your child-theme called “custom_img” and add 2 pictures: 24.png & 25.png (250×250)
If everybody must those avatars, disallow avatar upload in BP settings.
Site default avatar stays as Mystery Man (wp default setting).

You have also to get rid of Gravatar, so you must add this to bp-custom.php
add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true');

The thing who doesn’t work is related to X & Y are now friends. Both willhave the same avatar.

Can probably by better improved.

Hi,

to show only notices (aka updates) on the SWA, try this snippet (place in bp-custom.php)

function make_swa_show_notice_only( $retval ) {	
	
	if ( bp_is_page( 'activity' ) ) {
	$retval['action'] = 'activity_update';					
	}
	
	return $retval;
	
	}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'make_swa_show_notice_only' );

Reference: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/using-bp_parse_args-to-filter-buddypress-template-loops/

You want to add a ‘Personal’ option to the ‘Show’ selector on Site Wide Activity?

Try this in your theme/functions.php or in bp-custom.php

function leanne_activity_filter_options() {
    if ( is_user_logged_in() )
         echo '<option value="personal">Personal</option>';
}
add_action( 'bp_activity_filter_options', 'leanne_activity_filter_options' );

function leanne_ajax_querystring( $query_string, $object ) {

	if ( 'activity' != $object ) 
		return $query_string;

	if ( ! bp_is_activity_directory() ) 
		return $query_string;

	$query_args = wp_parse_args( $query_string, array() );

 	$page = $query_args['page'];

	if( isset( $query_args['action'] ) && $query_args['action'] == 'personal' ) {
	
		$query_args = array();
		$query_args['page'] = $page;
		$query_args['user_id'] = bp_loggedin_user_id();
		$query_string = http_build_query( $query_args );

	}
	
	return $query_string;

}
add_filter( 'bp_ajax_querystring', 'leanne_ajax_querystring', 20, 2 );

Yes… the post type is registered by another plugin “Wp Job Manager”. I am new at coding so if i find a script and it actually works “i use it” even though there may be a more correct way.

I also have another plugin “The Events Calendar” that has post type of ‘tribe_events’ and i am trying to do the same thing as the Job post type.

I also don’t understand the difference between using “text-domain” and “custom-domain” for the bp_activity_admin_filter ?

I used info from this Topic/Discussion here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/cant-seem-to-get-bp-2-2s-post-types-activities-working/

Here is my full code in bp-custom for Jobs and Events post types…

//The 'WP Job Manager' post type
add_post_type_support( 'job_listing', 'buddypress-activity' );

function customize_page_tracking_args_job() {
    // Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return;
    }
 
    bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'job_listing', array(
			'component_id' => 'activity',
        'action_id'                => 'new_job_listing',
        'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Published a new Job', 'text-domain' ),
        'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Job', 'text-domain' ),
        'contexts'                 => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
        'activity_comment'         => true,
        'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s posted a new Job: <a href="%2$s">Job</a>', 'text-domain' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s posted a new Job: <a href="%2$s">Job</a>, on the site %3$s', 'text-domain' ),
        'position'                 => 100,
    ) );
}
//'The Calednar Events' post type 
add_action( 'init', 'customize_page_tracking_args_job', 999 );

add_post_type_support( 'tribe_events', 'buddypress-activity' );

function customize_page_tracking_args_event() {
    // Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return;
    }
 
    bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'tribe_events', array(
			'component_id' => 'activity',
        'action_id'                => 'new_tribe_events',
        'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Published a new Event', 'text-domain' ),
        'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Event', 'custom-domain' ),
        'contexts'                 => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
        'activity_comment'         => true,
        'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s posted an Event: <a href="%2$s">Event</a>', 'custom-domain' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s posted an Event: <a href="%2$s">Event</a>, on the site %3$s', 'custom-domain' ),
        'position'                 => 100,
    ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'customize_page_tracking_args_event', 999 );

@imath thanks for the above code which “adds the post type title into the link in replacement”

But i need to change one small thing in that code but i dont know how.

Here is my code in bp-custom.php —

add_post_type_support( 'job_listing', 'buddypress-activity' );
function customize_page_tracking_args_job() {
    // Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return;
    }
 
    bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'job_listing', array(
			'component_id' => 'activity',
        'action_id'                => 'new_job_listing',
        'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Published a new Job', 'text-domain' ),
        'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Job', 'text-domain' ),
        'contexts'                 => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
        'activity_comment'         => true,
        'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s posted a new Job: <a href="%2$s">Job</a>', 'text-domain' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s posted a new Job: <a href="%2$s">Job</a>, on the site %3$s', 'text-domain' ),
        'position'                 => 100,
    ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'customize_page_tracking_args_job', 999 );

Here is the result…
PathPoint-SSB posted a new Job: Job 5 hours, 53 minutes ago

Here is what it looks like after I use your code to insert the Title of the Job
pathpoint posted a new Receptionist/Administrative Assistant 5 hours, 49 minutes ago

As you can see, it changes the Users name and also I cant change this part “posted a new”. I would like it to read “posted a new Job: ”

Any ideas?

Thanks for any insight on this,
Aaron
