    Hey guys,

    Could you point me in the right direction: I’m looking to allow activity posts to be made visible only to users who are friends with each other. I am aware plugins exist to fulfil this but I need to create this function myself to properly customize it. Just unsure where to start.

    What hooks and/or template files should I be aware of?

    Cheers,

    Andrew

    Hi @handyandywilson

    Your first stop when customising the activity stream should be bp_parse_args(). Check out this article:

    like Henry mentioned, you can use the bp_parse_args. You could do the following to achieve it:

    // Activity stream -> friends only

    function my_friends_only_activity_args( $args ) {
    
    if( ! bp_is_activity_directory() || !  is_user_logged_in() ) {
        return $args;
    }
    
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    
    $user_ids = friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user_id );
    
    array_push( $user_ids, $user_id );
    
    $args['user_id'] = $user_ids;
    
    return $args;
 
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_friends_only_activity_args' );
