Ok, what im trying to do is simple:

` if ( bp_activity_latest_update() ) :
then show the update
else
then show this`

basically, it’s for the new users who obviously haven’t posted an update yet.

i figured it was something simple, anyone have any ideas?

`if ( bp_get_activity_latest_update() )
bp_activity_latest_update(); //then show the update
else
// then show this`

Yeah, without a $user_id argument, it’ll only work on profile pages. See bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php bp_activity_latest_update().

Try:
`if ( bp_get_activity_latest_update( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) )
bp_activity_latest_update( bp_loggedin_user_id() ); //then show the update
else
// then show this`

I’d like to preface the update (it it’s available ) with:
‘and the latest update was:
‘

Wrapping the update in italics and breaking the update from the preceeding “‘member’ was active 3 minutes ago”

I’ve tried some echos but it’s breaking for some reason unknown.

Ideas?

I was able to preface the update if it existed with this:
‘
$latest_update = bp_get_activity_latest_update();
if ( bp_get_activity_latest_update() )
echo “and the latest update was:
$latest_update “;
else
‘
