Custom post type in Activity stream

[Soomin]

Hello, Boss!

I want to add the custom post types (eg. product, portfolio, etc..) in activity stream.
I tried following the ‘Bp Codex _ https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/post-types-activities/‘ document.

But.. Stream is no change..

Where to add the that code?

Hi @vhankim, Custom post type in Activity stream is now Buddypress default feature you do not need any code to include it in your activity.

Hi @vhankim
You can add following code to child theme functions.php to add support for WooCommerce

add_post_type_support( 'product', 'buddypress-activity' );

Hi @vhankim

to display inside filter dropdown, you will added to add additional arguments

function customize_product_tracking_args() {
    // Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return;
    }
 
    bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'product', array(
        'component_id'             => buddypress()->blogs->id,
        'action_id'                => 'new_product',
        'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Published a new product', 'custom-domain' ),
        'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Products', 'boss' ),
        'contexts'                 => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
        'activity_comment'         => true,
        'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s posted a new <a href="%2$s">product</a>', 'boss' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s posted a new <a href="%2$s">product</a>, on the site %3$s', 'boss' ),
        'position'                 => 100,
    ) );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'customize_product_tracking_args' );

Hi. @vapvarun

I’ve tried your way.
First, the drop-down menu in the activity profile page looks good.
However, the stream function does not work.

Then, the stream does not apply and the drop-down menu in the overall site activity stream.

Hi @vhankim

It will be better You check with BuddyPress support, These are beyond theme support.

Hi @vapvarun.

I was checked the theme. When activated boss-child & Social-learner, stream and drop-down menu works well in user’s activity page.
However, stream & menu not work in overall site activity page.

When activated twentysixteen theme, all works well.

[Soomin]

I did it! 🙂

I was added menu code in buddypress > activity > index.php

Great 🙂
