In wordpress, you can query posts and have a certain post or number of posts show up in a custom template.
Can I do this with groups in buddypress? Members?
Thanks!!

Topic: Dropdown filters not working
I am testing WordPress 3.0 Beta1 and the latest BuddyPress 1.2.3. All of BP works fine except the dropdown filters for activity, members, and blogs. When I select an option in the dropdown, such as “show new forum topics”, nothing happens. I have cleared my cache and have tested in ff 3.6, chrome, and ie8 and the dropdown filter does not work in any of them.
Please help.
Thanks.
hot off the svn…
Download from WordPress Plugin Repo: BuddyPress Activity Stream as Blog Comments
be forewarned – this may not be for everyone depending on the control you like with wp comments admin or previous BP blog comments/postings
How does this work?
Simple, the plugin will look for the corresponding activity record for the new_blog_post (or new_blog_comment) and pull the threaded activity data. Includes the same reply/favorite meta information and nested replies. An added bonus, the loop theme template includes the same
bp_activity_action hooks.Which leads to the next point:
IMPORTANT NOTE for Existing BP Blog:
You MUST run this plugin BP Import Blog Activity which tags each blog post and comment with activity stream data. This is a requirement in order to pull in activity stream data on a blog post.
(fwiw – i have not tested this yet – as only develop on a new install – any helpers would be great – always backup the db)
WPMU
This is only intended for the main BP blog for which it is activated on.
The activity template query uses (so in theory – it should work if the subblogs have the new theme files from this plugin)
$object = $bp->blogs->id;
$primary_id = (int) $wpdb->blogid;If anyone wants to see how this could work on subblogs – please post up.

i’ll be awaiting the bug reports

FWIW – this is a simple plugin – much easier than the forum extras, in fact so much that i’m considering converting the forums to the activity stream.
Being that BuddyPress doesn’t have an “edit user profile” function (corrections, troubleshooting, inappropriate content, etc.), I’ve found Skeleton Key (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/skeleton-key/) which permits the Admin to login to the site with any user’s account by providing admin username followed by a “+” followed by their username and your administrative password.
Works well on a BP/WP single install (IMO, should work with BP/WPMU)
