bp_activity_content_body() : recent site wide posts (solved)


  • Roger Coathup

    @rogercoathup

    I want to implement an enhanced version of recent site wide posts.

    I want to be able to exclude certain blogs (such as blog id 1), and also retrieve a thumbnail image for each post.

    The BuddyPress built in widget (recent site wide posts) uses the activities loop to fetch post information (in particular the call bp_activity_content_body () ).

    Are there any guidelines / advice for modifying / accessing the information returned by bp_activity_content_body()?

  • Yes, use the filter on that function in a separate plugin file.

    @Andy – yes, I was going to try and delve into that filter (the one on bp_get_activity_content_body, or did you mean a different one), and I guess I need to get in to the data structures in the activities_template.

    I’m a bit confused though… I only want to return something different when it’s being used in the specific instance of fetching sitewide posts. If I add the filter, won’t it affect all uses of bp_activity_content_body?

    We just went with a loop like this:

    `
    <?php $args = array (
    ‘action’ => ‘new_blog_post’,
    ‘max’ => 20); ?>

      <?php
      while (bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity(); ?>

      <?php $blog_id = bp_get_activity_item_id();

      if ((int)$blog_id == 1) continue; ?>

    `

    @boonebgorges has talked about adding ‘exclude’ parameters to some of the loop functions, which could make this much neater – I don’t know the progress / state of that work

    It’s in BP 1.3 trunk I believe.
