Hi @urbanfix

Here’s the standard loop taken from here.

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

If you scroll down the page and take a look at filtering options, you’ll see user_id. So your loop will look something like this:

$post = get_post( get_the_ID() );
$filter = '&user_id=' . $post->post_author;

if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . $filter ) ) :
    while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity();
        locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true, false );
    endwhile;
endif;

Note: I haven’t tested.

Caveat: This must be used within The Loop.

hi @urbanfix,

please use the code button if you insert code or use an external service like pastebin or github and post the link to the snippet…

What do you exactly try to built ?
You first asked about page author’s activity, and now you want to create a tab.

OMG !

@urbanfix, you have warnings due to wrong geodirectory usage. Repair it !

@mcuk please don’t hijack. Open your own topic as you’re not looking on exactly for the same thing.

Try from this usage example.

This code builds a tab, fetch an activity type content (here author post) and show it on a template part.

function bpfr_post_profile_setup_nav() {
	global $bp;
	$parent_slug = 'extraposts';
	$child_slug = 'posts_sub';	
	
	bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
	'name' => __( 'Extra Posts' ),
	'slug' => $parent_slug,
	'screen_function' => 'bpfr_profile_post_screen',
	'position' => 40,
	'default_subnav_slug' => $child_slug 
	) );
	
	//Add subnav item 	 
	bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 
	'name' => __( 'Latest extras' ), 
	'slug' => $child_slug, 
	'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $parent_slug.'/', 
	'parent_slug' => $parent_slug, 
	'screen_function' => 'bpfr_profile_post_screen'
	) );
}

	function bpfr_profile_post_screen() {	
		add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'bpfr_profile_post_screen_content' );
		bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
	}

	function bpfr_profile_post_screen_content() {
		do_action( my_profile_post);
	}

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_post_profile_setup_nav' );

function bpfr_get_stuff() {

   $activity_id = bp_activity_get_activity_id( array(
    'user_id' => $post->post_author,
    'type' => 'new_blog_post', // the activity type you want to show. See in activity table
    'component' => 'blogs',
    'item_id' => 1,
    'secondary_item_id' => $post->ID
   ) );
	
	if ( ! $activity_id ) {
		return '';
	}
// this is the activity loop, with some options.
	if ( bp_has_activities( $activity_id . '&action=activity_update&max=5' )  ) :
		while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity();

			bp_get_template_part( 'activity/entry');

		endwhile;
	endif;
}

add_action ( 'my_profile_post', 'bpfr_get_stuff' ); 

Note that this is only an example and most probably the best way to do it.

There is a little plugin which will be more handy eventually, which allows you to use shortcodes to get activities.

If you add to plugin’s generate_activity_stream function these two lines

$temp_post = get_post($post_id);
$user_id = $temp_post->post_author;

and change user_id in filtering to 'user_id' => $user_id, you’re able to get about anything for the given author, directly on the post page.

May this help !

No worry. It’s just difficult to follow when a huge amount of snippets must be read to understand what each one does.

I answered also to your other topic. Happy testing !

Was my suggestion any use?

Basically, I would like to call the activity stream of an author of a page.

I understood that to mean “Output an activity loop on a WordPress page limited to activity items belonging to the page author”.

If my understanding is wrong, then please let me know.

Have you tried to use the shortcode plugin i mentionned previously ?
