BuddyPress Activity Content Help

[david_bass]

I have loaded the third-party plugin “MediaPress” which will allow me add images/documents to my group content. Everything seems to be in place, but when I hit post the image is not part of the post itself even though the image does get uploaded into the media gallery.

I have been talking to the developers of MediaPress and they say it should be a simple fix, but would need to know where activity entry is loaded so it can be accessed.

Thanks for any assistance!

David

Hello David,

Thanks for writing in!

We do not moved or relocate any of the image uploads within BuddyPress. If you need to customize the display of the images uploaded by MediaPress, you can always add their MediaPress code in the entry.php. To do that, assuming that you have your child theme active and ready, please follow these steps below:
1] Using Notepad or TextEdit or Sublime Text or any text editor, please create a new file in your local machine.
2] Insert the following code into that new file

<?php

/**
 * BuddyPress - Activity Stream (Single Item)
 *
 * This template is used by activity-loop.php and AJAX functions to show
 * each activity.
 *
 * @package BuddyPress
 * @subpackage bp-legacy
 */

?>

<?php do_action( 'bp_before_activity_entry' ); ?>

<li class="<?php bp_activity_css_class(); ?>" id="activity-<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>">

	<?php x_buddypress_activity_list_item_header(); ?>

	<div class="activity-content">

		<?php if ( bp_activity_has_content() ) : ?>

			<div class="activity-inner">

				<?php bp_activity_content_body(); ?>

			</div>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bp_activity_entry_content' ); ?>

		<div class="x-list-item-meta activity-meta">
			<div class="x-list-item-meta-inner">

				<?php if ( bp_get_activity_type() == 'activity_comment' ) : ?>

					<a href="<?php bp_activity_thread_permalink(); ?>" class="view bp-secondary-action" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'View Conversation', 'buddypress' ); ?>"><?php _e( 'View Conversation', '__x__' ); ?></a>

				<?php endif; ?>

				<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

					<?php if ( bp_activity_can_comment() ) : ?>

						<a href="<?php bp_activity_comment_link(); ?>" class="acomment-reply bp-primary-action" id="acomment-comment-<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>"><?php printf( __( 'Comment <span class="x-bp-count">%s</span>', '__x__' ), bp_activity_get_comment_count() ); ?></a>

					<?php endif; ?>

					<?php if ( bp_activity_can_favorite() ) : ?>

						<?php if ( !bp_get_activity_is_favorite() ) : ?>

							<a href="<?php bp_activity_favorite_link(); ?>" class="fav bp-secondary-action" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Mark as Favorite', '__x__' ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Favorite', '__x__' ); ?></a>

						<?php else : ?>

							<a href="<?php bp_activity_unfavorite_link(); ?>" class="unfav bp-secondary-action" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Remove Favorite', '__x__' ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Remove Favorite', '__x__' ); ?></a>

						<?php endif; ?>

					<?php endif; ?>

					<?php if ( bp_activity_user_can_delete() ) bp_activity_delete_link(); ?>

					<?php do_action( 'bp_activity_entry_meta' ); ?>

				<?php endif; ?>

				<?php x_buddypress_logged_out_meta(); ?>

			</div>
		</div>
	</div>

	<?php do_action( 'bp_before_activity_entry_comments' ); ?>

	<?php if ( ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_activity_can_comment() ) || bp_is_single_activity() ) : ?>

		<div class="x-activity-comments-outer cf">
			<div class="activity-comments">

				<?php bp_activity_comments(); ?>

				<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

					<form action="<?php bp_activity_comment_form_action(); ?>" method="post" id="ac-form-<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>" class="ac-form cf"<?php bp_activity_comment_form_nojs_display(); ?>>
						<div class="ac-reply-avatar"><?php bp_loggedin_user_avatar( 'width=' . BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH . '&height=' . BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT ); ?></div>
						<div class="ac-reply-content cf">
							<div class="ac-textarea">
								<textarea id="ac-input-<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>" class="ac-input bp-suggestions" name="ac_input_<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>"></textarea>
							</div>
							<input type="submit" name="ac_form_submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Post', '__x__' ); ?>" /> &nbsp; <a href="#" class="ac-reply-cancel"><?php _e( 'Cancel', '__x__' ); ?></a>
							<input type="hidden" name="comment_form_id" value="<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>" />
						</div>

						<?php do_action( 'bp_activity_entry_comments' ); ?>

						<?php wp_nonce_field( 'new_activity_comment', '_wpnonce_new_activity_comment' ); ?>

					</form>

				<?php endif; ?>

			</div>
		</div>

	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bp_after_activity_entry_comments' ); ?>

</li>

<?php do_action( 'bp_after_activity_entry' ); ?>

Please do not forget to add any MediaPress code if needed to display their images

3] Save the file named as entry.php
4] Upload this file to your server in the child theme’s folder wp-content/themes/x-child/buddypress/activity/ or wp-content/themes/pro-child/buddypress/activity/

You must create the folder path since it does not exist in your child theme yet.

Hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes.

Thank you so much for that information. That most certainly will help.

Thanks
