Hi Brajesh,
I have this plugin installed. Is there anyway to access the stream of recent posts in an RSS feed?
Thanks
Hi Mark,
For the recent posts feed, the best option available is

Hope that helps.
Ps:- sorry for my delayed reply. Was moving and slightly unorganized.

Hey Brajesh, is there a way to blog one of my blogs from showing up in the widget?
Thanks.
Mark
Hi Mark,
here the the modified code for the function "bpdev_show_recent_updated_blogs"
http://bpdev.pastebin.com/kfphhPgE
Please replace the above code with the function's code in bpdev-recently-updated-blogs.php from line 38-60 of the file.
You will ned to change $my_blog_id to the blog id you want to hide.
Hope that helps.
Works perfectly, thanks a lot Brajesh.
How do I do this for more than 1 blog? eg 2 separate ids?
Thanks a lot
Hi Mark,
I have updated the code.
Please take a look here
http://bpdev.pastebin.com/X2mgKZf7
You will just need to change 2 lines in the earlier code.
Hey Brajesh,
I changed the file and put the 2 blogs I wanted excluding in like this:
$excluded_blog_ids=array(282,304)
However, blog 304 is still coming through, any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark
Any ideas? Bump.
Hi Brajesh, is there a way to embed this in a page. eg in my homepage it will have show the latest post and the first 100 words or so?
Thanks
Hi Mark,
No it is not meant for showing posts. Instead you can use sitewide posts widget(comes with buddypress) to show the recent sitewide posts.
Thanks Brajesh, I'll look into it. Any idea if its possible to get widgets into pages like that?
New site looks ossumm by the way.
