The favorites that comes with BP is for the activity stream, not posts.
yea I know. I have favorites for posts, and that’s all i want. I’ve created a new tab in the adminbar for these favorites.
I don’t need the activity stream favorites at all. I feel it’s confusing for my users to have 2 sets of favorites.
How can I completely remove whole favorites system in bp?
Thanks
a simple way: just remove the favorite_link() code from the theme file /activity/entry.php
hi etiviti,
Thanks for the suggestion, I got that far by myself, so the add/remove favorite link doesn’t show up in activity stream, but there is still a favorites link under My Account -> Activity in the adminbar, and there is still a link to view bp favorites in profile.
I already have a favorites plugin set up just how i want it, showing it’s own Favorites section in admin bar and in profile. But with the BP favorites there too I got 2 sets of favorites.
I really just want to remove ALL traces of the bp favorites.
This is like the final stage towards completing a site that i’ll be really happy with. I hope some one can help me!
something like:
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $bp->activity->slug, 'favorites' );
Yes!! That’s EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you so much, you’re a legend!
@mymoog – Out of curiosity, what’s the favorites plugin that you’re happy with for the posts?
@nuprn1
Just placed your code into my functions file and the menu item wasn’t removed:
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $bp->activity->slug, ‘favorites’ );
Would anything have change in buddypress to cause this?
try sticking it in your plugins/bp_custom.php file, like:
`function stuff_i_want_triggered_after_bp_loads(){
global $bp;
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $bp->activity->slug, ‘favorites’ );
}
add_action(‘wp’, ‘stuff_i_want_triggered_after_bp_loads’);`
