BuddyPress Activity Stream Bar

Adds a static bar at the bottom of every page of your website. Which displays the latest 20 BuddyPress Activities and rotates threw them.

This way all your members/visitors can see at a glance all the latest activity on your website!

There are also buttons so you can go forward and back in the activity stream and a close/open button in the bottom right.

1. Activate the “BuddyPress Activity Stream Bar” Plugin
2. See FAQ if you want to change how often the activity rotates.

I want to change how often the activity changes

Go to this file /plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-bar/bp_activity_bar.js and search for bprotatetime = 7000; change 7000 to whatever you’d like. 1000 = 1 Second.

I want to change how many activities show up

Go to this file /plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-bar/bp_activity_bar.php and search for this line <?php if ( bp_has_activities('max=20') ) : ?> You can change it to any number between 1-20.

I only want my friends activity to show up

Go to this file /plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-bar/bp_activity_bar.php and search for this line <?php if ( bp_has_activities('max=20') ) : ?> Replace it with this <?php if ( bp_has_activities('max=20','scope=friends') ) : ?>

I want this displayed at the top of the page instead

Only do this if you don’t have the BuddyPress Admin Bar enabled. Go to this css file /plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-bar/bp_activity_bar.css Find the lines that start with the following #footeractivity #innerbpclose #innerbpopen and change this bottom:0px; to this top:0px;
