Solved: set a character limit on activity content?
-
Iv’e build a plugin that returns the activity ( set it to scope=groups ) similar to twitters homepage vertical scrolling feed.
The problem is it is displayed in some what of a small area and I would like them to be uniform in size; because if there’s a large activity post, it takes up the entire ‘widget space’. Also the js assigns the height to all elements based on the ‘tallest’ one, so there’s a lot of white space ( if there is a large post in the stream ).
I had a look at the codex though couldn’t find anything relative to what I need, and ideas?

working nicely, just need to filter out ‘joined the group.. and created group.. and remove ‘view’ and delete’.
Once im done using it for what i need ill turn it into a widget for the community
`function bp_limit_group_activity_content() {
$group_activity_length = 100; //character limit
$group_excerpt = substr(bp_get_activity_content_body(), 0, $group_activity_length); //truncate excerpt according to lenngth
if(strlen($group_excerpt) < strlen(bp_get_activity_content_body())) {
$group_excerpt = $group_excerpt.’..’ ;
}echo “
“.$group_excerpt.”
“; //finally display excerpt
}`and then calling it by
`<li class="” id=”activity-“>
<a href="”>
`
one thing I over-looked is limiting the line height, Im going to look into this tomorrow though if anyone knows of a solution please don’t be shy
Also is there a filter specific to group updates only, thus excluding ‘joined group’ and ‘created group’?
