If I understand it, my ‘recent activity widget’ does that
you can find it in
bbp style pack
once activated you’ll find a new widget called
(style pack) latest activity
Hi Robin, thanks for your response. It looks like (style pack) latest activity gets me close and will provide a great starting point and tutorial from a bbp master.
Apologies for the lack of clarity in my initial post. Let me explain a bit more.
I’m developing a site that builds on Commons In A Box. You can see more about what we are doing at https://github.com/ContextInstitute/bfcom. The readme and wiki are out-of-date in the details but the general direction is right.
We are designing for a large number of BuddyPress groups, each with its own forum. It will be a private site with access only to registered users. Most users will be involved in only a subset of the groups/forums.
Each user will have a personalized home page/dashboard. One of the features on that dashboard will be a listing of the most recent posts/replies in topics in all of the forums to which that user belongs. So we need to start from something like groups_get_user_groups( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) and then go into something like what you do in (style pack) latest activity.
Having (style pack) latest activity as a starting point feels like a tremendous help.
Thank you again. 🙂
yes crack that code open it is in includes/widgets, you should find a good place to filter – probably change 159-161 – set the ‘post_parent__in’ to the forum of the current buddypress group, and the settings in the widget will be ignored.
Apologies for the delay in reporting back. I was able to modify the (style pack) latest activity widget to meet my needs. Thank you!
Along the way I found what may be a bug. On line 255, bbp_get_forum_title($forum) gets the topic title but get_the_title($forum) gets the forum title.
not sure why that would be – bbp_get_forum_title just does a check and then executes get_the_title
the full function is
function bbp_get_forum_title( $forum_id = 0 ) {
$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id( $forum_id );
$title = get_the_title( $forum_id );
return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_forum_title', $title, $forum_id );
}
It seems to work fine on my test site.
Is there a particular circumstance or is it consistently wrong on your site?
