'Post in' selector in Personal Activity screen?

Running WordPress 4.1. Buddypress 2.1.1.

In the Site-Wide Activity screen, there is a selector ‘Post in’ where one can select ‘My Profile’ or one of the groups to which one is a member.

Is there a way to get the same box in /activity/personal screen?

The activity post-form template carries a conditional check on that select elements to show it only if not ‘bp_is_my_profile’ so you could comment out/ remove that having first copied the template over to your theme as described in the BP Codex.

I am a newbie. So, this question.

I have identified that file and that line. So, editing the template file should not be a problem.

But, how do I copy the template over to my theme? I looked at the BP Codex but could not get any hint.

Could you please give a link to the specific codex area I should look at?

Here is an update. Got the BP Codex link after looking around a bit.

For reference, this is the link: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/

All I did was create a buddypress/activity folder in the theme I was using, copied the post-form.php over to that folder and edited it to meet my needs.

Thanks!

and that’s how it works 🙂 Theme compat is quite cool and pretty intuitive to use with hidden depths when required, all the articles are in the codex theme section – if you had a particular reason you found it hard to locate them let us know as we’re always interested in user experience with the codex.
