I tried added a slightly modded version of the parse_Args thing @danbp posted here:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-hide-forum-topics-and-replies-but-now-mentions-in-activity-feed/#post-242486

to thin out the activity stream.. and now the widget I have in sidebar that was showing sitewide posts from member blogs is showing stuff that is in the activity stream like “member x joind group b”

Is this something that is supposed to happen, a side effect of using the parse args mucking with the site tracking that the recent posts widgets gets / pulls from?

Maybe I messed up the code to filter the activity stream and this is my created bug – or maybe doing things this way does indeed affect the other?

my bp-custom.php:

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );
function remove_xprofile_links() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'remove_xprofile_links' );
// block activity stream stuff - things to include
function demo_parse( $retval ) {
	// existing BP/bbP activities
	// remove the one you wont to see from that list
	$retval['action'] = '
		activity_comment,
		activity_update,
		bbp_topic_create,
		joined_group,
		last_activity,
		new_avatar,
		new_blog_post, 	
		new_member,
		updated_profile,
		rtmedia_update,
		bp_doc_created,
		new_groupblog_post,
		bp_album_picture,
		added_group_document,
		new_blog_comment,
		new_member,
		created_group,
	';	

	return $retval;
	
	}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'demo_parse' );
// block activity stream stuff removed friendship_created, new_avatar,bp_doc_edited,activity_liked,
// deleted_group_document, new_blog, new_forum_post, new_forum_topic, new_status,new_wire_post
// previously blocked via plugin - deleted_group_document, new_blog, new_member, joined_group, friendship_created, activity_liked
