It is in the activity/entry.php
Take a look at the entry.php, this function does it in bp 1.2
<?php bp_activity_action() ?>
Hope it helps
Yeah saw that but I wanted to exclude certain parts of this. Not sure how.
@modemlooper You’ll need to ask Andy for hook into bp_insert_activity_meta() in bp-activity-templatetags.php so you can re-write the function
Apply a filter to bp_get_activity_action (I believe that’s the filter that contains the view/delete links)
This is some test code you can use:
function my_remove_activity_action($content) {
//MANIPULATE $content here
//$content will probably contain the view and remove links
//you'll have to code this yourself
return $content;
}
add_filter('bp_get_activity_action','my_remove_activity_action');
You’ll have to figure out a way to strip
Need some help with this. I’ve located the code in ajax.php to edit the activity comment meta. Problem is I don’t want to fudge with core. I copied files over to child theme but BP doesn’t recognize this file in the child theme. I’ve changed this code yet it does not reflect on the page. What am i missing?
Code:
<div class="acomment-meta">
<?php echo bp_core_get_userlink( bp_get_activity_user_id() ) ?> · <?php printf( __( '%s ago', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_time_since( gmdate( "Y-m-d H:i:s" ) ) ) ?> ·
<a class="acomment-reply" href="#acomment-<?php bp_activity_id() ?>" id="acomment-reply-<?php echo attribute_escape( $_POST['form_id'] ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Reply', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>
<a href="<?php echo wp_nonce_url( $bp->root_domain . '/' . $bp->activity->slug . '/delete/' . bp_get_activity_id() . '?cid=' . $comment_id, 'bp_activity_delete_link' ) ?>" class="delete acomment-delete confirm"><?php _e( 'Delete', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>
</div>
Yeah, I’ve also had problems trying to get the child theme to override the default theme’s ajax.php.
I guess I’ll just delete
<?php bp_activity_action() ?>
and add my own code
Hey @modemlooper;
I’d like to know how you do that… I’m trying to alter the layout of the updates on our (child theme) activity stream page at http://www.hypergripe.com/activity/ so that when a blog update is mentioned, the permalink to the blog post is on the next line and bolded, or in an h3 tag or something to look like a blog title – (the way the code is now the second link does not have a css identifier, and adding css to that specific link is impossible – i think).
I tried to alter the core bp-blogs.php file on line 433 and line 468, where it SEEMS the code for the activity stream is getting generated, but when I change this line:
$activity_action = sprintf( __( '%s wrote a new blog post: %s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int)$post->post_author ), '' . $post->post_title . '' );
to this:
$activity_action = sprintf( __( '%s wrote a new blog post: %s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int)$post->post_author ), '
' . $post->post_title . '' );
then upload it, there is no change on the activity stream page….
I’m baffled. Ya, I know I’m changing core files – I’ve customized a few core files but have made a schedule of changes for future updates – or until there are gentler fixes. 
Thanks in advance – your participation in other threads has been very helpful!
@modemlooper Odd. I had to over-write ajax.php as well for the exact same reason (needed a place to hook background sprites into) and my new ajax.php files is recognized just fine. Of course, because there are no filters in place, I have to be diligent about keeping up on any changes to ajax.php
Sorry back to this.
Where is this function being called from? I can’t find the code at all.
<?php bp_activity_action() ?>
found the comment code but I need the code that pulls in what type of activity it is.
@modemlooper
I don’t know if this was your question but I found the function in /wp-content/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php
I’m trying to do the same thing as @hypergripe
The default layout of the Actions (forum actions) is like this:
Admin posted on the forum topic TOPIC NAME in the group GROUP NAME: 39 minutes ago · View · Delete
Content of forum post
I want it to look like this:
TOPIC NAME
Admin said:
Content of Forum Post
View Full – Delete
Group/Category: GROUP NAME
I think that layout would be more intuitive for my users.
It would be way helpful to be able to sort and have more control over <?php bp_activity_action() ?>
Has anyone made progress in this regard? Any tips would be appreciated.
