Default Filter for Activity Stream

[directnet42u]

Hi There,

I had noticed an older post on here with this same question, but I can’t seem to find it. I was wondering how we can update our Activity Stream page to only show updates by default (without the option to filter through new members, comments, friendships, etc). Apparently there is a PHP code that can be added to do this, but at the moment I’m unable to track it down again. I hope someone can help!

Thank you for your time.

Hello, try adding this to functions.php of child theme

COPY CODE

// Remove (hide) various activities from streams.
function my_hidden_activities($a, $activities) {
//if admin we want to know
//if (is_site_admin())
//	return $activities;

$nothanks = array(“created_group”, “joined_group”, “new_member”, “friendship_created”, “activity_liked”);

foreach ($activities->activities as $key => $activity) {
if (in_array($activity->type, $nothanks, true)) {
unset($activities->activities[$key]);
$activities->activity_count = $activities->activity_count-1;
$activities->total_activity_count = $activities->total_activity_count-1;
$activities->pag_num = $activities->pag_num -1;
}
}

// Renumber the array keys to account for missing items.
$activities_new = array_values( $activities->activities );
$activities->activities = $activities_new;

return $activities;
}
add_action(‘bp_has_activities’, ‘my_hidden_activities’, 10, 2 );

Unfortunately that code did not work for us. We’re wanting the activity page to only display updates that people post directly to that page. We do not want it to show new memberships, friendships, cover photos, etc. Hopefully that makes sense, please pass along any questions if you need me to clarify.

Hello, try the following
copy this file: “/wp-content/themes/kleo/buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php” to your child theme: “/wp-content/themes/kleo-child/buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php” and you will have to replace the 16’th line with the following:

COPY CODE

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . '&action=activity_update' ) ) : ?>

Hello, you could try to filter that by editing the activity loop, i can do that for you if you share ftp credentials 🙂
You want to show all but friendships and new members right? 🙂

Hello, fixed, you have the directory name “Buddypress” instead of “buddypress”, simple but important 🙂

It looks great, thank you for resolving that issue for us!

Oops, we just looked at the page again and it looks like it’s still showing new memberships in the latest updates. Do you know why that might be?

Hello, check if the code is still there, maybe it shows older entries
Let me know 🙂

The code is still there. What seems to happen is that the page will load without those other categories, but then if you stay on the page for a few seconds it shows the “Load Newest” section (see attached image) at the top. Then when you click on that it displays the new members and friendships. Do you know what might be causing this?

Hi,

We’ve provided this code as a starting point some time ago, if the code isn’t working anymore then I’ll have to recommend you to hire a developer in order to implement such custom functionality.

Cheers
