BuddyPress.org

I guess that was not the question …
The issue is general and it applies to the fact that any user can see the activity stream of any other user, regardless if friend or not ..
Maybe we should wonder why would they “make friends” in the 1st place? Is this the way a social network works? How is Facebook solving it? LinkedIn etc !??!

None of these networks gives access to non-friend streams, only buddypress ….

So having this issue solved once and for all, after having people pointing out to this issue for longer than one year with NO ANSWER would be really a big step forward for buddypress.

Anyone having the solution!??!

Anyone?!?! Is there really no buddypress guru out there able to answer this question after being around for soon 2 years ?!?!?!

Thank you!

thank for the tip @etivite . I have searched and googled till my head was spinning, there is NO solution for it yet!

The issue is asked again and again and again, and still no real solution. The only thing I have found which filters out the non-friend activity but also blocks your own! is this one:

http://wpmu.org/create-a-better-community-experience-with-the-new-buddypress-friends-only-activity-stream-plugin/

As for th bp_has_activities you can’t really use it as it only accepts ONE single parameter (for ex.
if ( bp_has_activities( ‘scope=friends’) [which means own posts, groups, etc will be out!] and as you said is completely messing up the “load” function by the occasion. So you definitely can NOT call that a solution.

You say it has been covered before, I’d rather say it has been asked again and again but when you search through all those posts you’ll see they all end either unanswered or after people desperately try to figure it out somehow, gets abandoned as no one found the way to solve it. ANd there was not even ONE single post from some of the developers who know best how buddypress is built.

We can try and try and break our heads, but if after 2 years none of us managed 2 find a solution, isn’t it time for a specialist to look into it?

We need just as on other social networks the possibility to have own posts (incl comments) combined with friends’ posts (also incl. commenst) on one single page/wall and only visible for friends.

All social networks do that these days, only buddypress not ….
