Filter the Activity Loop for Specific User Updates

Hi,
So for our sins we’ve customised our profile page to be a lot different to the core (not by choice), this works great bar a few anomalies. I’m trying to filter the activity loop to just show the displayed users posts. I’ve written up the code as follows:

if ( bp_has_activities( $activity_id . '&user_id='.$userToFilter.'&scope=just-me&action="activity_update"&max=3&page_arg="true"' ) )

This gives me a loop of just 3 items (so some of it is being listened to!) but no pagination and no filtering on the displayed user (which is the value $userToFilter). I’ve echoed out the filter and it’s reading as: &user_id=1&scope=just-me&action=”activity_update”&max=3&page_arg=”true” which I think is right. Any guidance greatly appreciated, I tried the plugin for activity shortcode and got the same results weirdly.

Try using bp_parse_args(). Here is an example:
```
function my_filter_after_has_activities_parse_args( $r ) {
    $r['per_page'] = 3;
    // Do something else here
    return $r;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_filter_after_has_activities_parse_args' );
```

That helped a lot, I’ve now got it filtering for the users activity on just their profile page. So we’re halfway there. Using your links I’m to the point where I have this code:
```
function my_filter_after_has_activities_parse_args( $r ) {
        $r['per_page'] = 10;
        if (bp_is_my_profile()) {
        $r['per_page'] = 3;
        $r['scope'] = "just-me";
        } else if (bp_is_user_profile()) {
        $r['per_page'] = 3;
        //$r['scope'] = "just-me"; - I'll work out the code for just-them after I get the function calling
        }
        
        return $r;
    }
    add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_filter_after_has_activities_parse_args' );
```
When I run this code on a normal users profile I get nothing changed (the final bp_is_user_profile() doesn’t fire). I’m on the site.com/members/user page and it’s the ‘home.php’ template that’s calling all of this so I’m at a loss as to why I’m getting no joy.

Try replacing bp_is_user_profile() with bp_is_user()
