I should have mentioned that to use this code, you insert the scope in a custom activity loop, as per https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/developer-docs/loops-reference/the-activity-stream-loop/ – in this case, the loop would be:
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( 'scope=wall' ) ) : ?>
Actually, in bp-activity=template -> bp_has_activities, there is a filter ‘user_id’ that accepts a csv string.
You shouldn’t need to hack that file.
Did you try getting friends & followers and then passing that into bp_has_activities ?
Something like:
$user_ids = 'user_id=' . $csv_string . "'";
if ( bp_has_activities( $user_ids ) )
Hi Shane,
Thanks for your suggestion, but with my very limited level of coding knowledge, I need a little bit more than ‘something like’ to be able to make code work. 🙂 Also, AFAIK a new scope needs to be created to do this reliably – can that be done via the means you’re suggesting? Once again, if somebody can give me a fairly detailed way to convert this code into an external function I would be very grateful, as I’m sure would many other BP users, judging from the number of requests for this feature. It’s a obvious candidate for a plug-in – I know there’s already a premium plug-in for this, but that only works in the profile component, whereas I think most people want this functionality in the main activity stream. Or even better, it should just be part of BP core (the obvious way to do this would be for bp_has_activities to accept multiple scopes, if that’s technically possible).
Using ‘scope’ will over-ride any filters, as noted in bp-activity-template.
There are various ways to makes this a function, but it depends on your install params, hooks etc.
Following on with your approach, try putting this (untested) at the top of the main activity template.
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$following = array();
if ( bp_is_active( 'bp-follow') )
$following = bp_follow_get_following( array( 'user_id' => $user_id ) );
$friends = array();
if ( bp_is_active( 'friends') )
$friends = friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user_id );
$me = array( $user_id );
$wall = array_merge( $following, $friends, $me );
$wall = array_unique( $wall );
$user_ids = implode( ',', $wall );
$get_users = "'user_id=" . $user_ids . "'";
if ( bp_has_activities( $get_users ) )
//etc
Hi Shane,
Just to clarify, would I simply stick this in at the top of my customised version of bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/index.php? There isn’t any need to modify the scope of the activity loop itself?
Okay, I tried your code, both in the activity template and in place of the activity loop, and in either case, it does nothing – it simply spits out all activity. Thanks for trying though anyway!
After Adding this
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( ‘scope=wall’ ) ) : ?>
by replacing this line
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘activity’ ) ) ) : ?>
in theme/activity/activity-loop.php
It shows the Wall in Personal Sub-Nav, But it does show me and my friends updates.
The Problem is after scrolling down the page it shows LOAD MORE, and when clicked it shows the same Last 20 Updates every time i click LOAD MORE, rather than showing Old 20 Updates.
Ex: if i have a to h when i click load more it should show i to z , but it shows a-h again and again.
PLEASE HELP.
Hi luckyrajiv.
Did you add the code from my first post to bp-activity-template.php? This is necessary for it to work.
@ljmac @luckyrajiv
You can try this plugin but I quit updating it because I felt it was obsolete.
https://github.com/bphelp/activity-privacy-component
@ljmac yes, i had added the code to bp-activity-template.php.
Did you add wall to the list of scope names in bp-activity-template.php as well?
@luckyrajiv
Try the plugin in the link I provided instead off editing core files. It is safer to use the plugin. Last time I checked it was working with BP 1.7.2 however I cant promise it will work when BP 1.8 is released and I do not have plans to further update it.
@ljmac It works now, but one problem, I had to remove this line
$following = bp_follow_get_following( array( 'user_id' => $user_id ) );
After this it works, but one more problem, Now all Personal , Favorites, Groups, Mentions have the same stream like wall.
What i have actually done See here:
At bp-activty-template.php I added
if ( 'wall' == $scope || 'just-me' == $scope || 'friends' == $scope || 'groups' == $scope || 'favorites' == $scope || 'mentions' == $scope ) {
then
switch ( $scope ) {
case 'wall':
if ( bp_is_active( 'friends' && 'bp-follow' ) )
$friends = friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user_id );
$me = array( bp_loggedin_user_id() );
$wall = array_merge_recursive( $friends, $me );
if ( empty( $wall ) )
return false;
$user_id = implode( ',', (array) $wall );
$display_comments = true;
break;
case 'friends':
if ( bp_is_active( 'friends' ) )
$friends = friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user_id );
if ( empty( $friends ) )
return false;
$user_id = implode( ',', (array) $friends );
break;
And After that i Replace the line in Theme/Activity/activity-loop.php
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ).'&scope=wall' ) ) : ?>
Ah yes – that line should only be there if you’re running BuddyPress Followers. Also, the following line:
$wall = array_merge_recursive( $following, $friends, $me );
Should be changed to:
$wall = array_merge_recursive( $friends, $me );
On my site, I have set up a separate activity stream for the Wall; if you apply it across your entire site in the way you have, it will restrict ALL activity to the personal Wall. Basically, if you want a normal activity stream AND a personal Wall, you have to set up two separate activity stream pages with different scopes (one universal, and another just for the Wall).
Yes, I have Added another Stream as a Wall for Activity rather than using Personal.
Thanks.
Hi Guys,
@shanebp proposition was correct, hi just missed some quotes.
I personnaly use it like this (in my own activity-loop.php) with somme custom actions.
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$friends = array();
if ( bp_is_active( 'friends') )
$friends = friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user_id );
$me = array( $user_id );
$wall = array_merge($friends, $me );
$wall = array_unique( $wall );
$user_ids = implode( ',', $wall );
$get_users = "user_id=" . $user_ids;
$stream_filter = '&'.$get_users.'&action=activity_update,rtmedia_update,new_blog_post,joined_group,created_group';
then
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ).$stream_filter ) ) : ?>
cheers and thanks for your help 😉
Thank you guys, from the solutions above, I sum up this code :
Put in activity/index.php –
At the top of the activity/index.php, paste this code –
<?php
//best practice is to create a function in another file, but this will work…
$friends = bp_follow_get_following( ‘&user_id=’ . bp_loggedin_user_id() );
$friends[] = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$friends_and_me = implode( ‘,’, (array) $friends );
$friends_and_me = ‘&user_id=’ . $friends_and_me;
?>
After that paste this code
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘activity’ ) . $friends_and_me .’&object=groups,friends,status,blogs’) ) : ?>
Note : I am using buddypress follower plugins. If you are not using the plugin, you need to change this line of code
– ‘$friends = bp_follow_get_following( ‘&user_id=’ . bp_loggedin_user_id() );’
to this
– ‘$friends = friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user_id );’
