    Hello Brajesh

    With the latest version of buddypress the activity featured image is a clickable link except the excerpt.

    How can I also turn the excerpt into a clickable link, I have tried the code below but did not work perfectly

     /* Turn blog post activity excerpt into a clickable link */
function make_excerpt_clickable_for_new_blog_post( $action, $activity ) {

    if ( $activity->type == 'new_blog_post' ) {
        $post_id = $activity->secondary_item_id;
        $post = get_post( $post_id );
        
        if ( ! $post ) {
            return $action;
        }

        $excerpt = $post->post_excerpt ? $post->post_excerpt : $post->post_content;
        $action = sprintf( '<a href="%s">%s</a>', get_permalink( $post_id ), $excerpt );
    }

    return $action;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_action', 'make_excerpt_clickable_for_new_blog_post', 10, 2 );

    Hi Tosin,
    I will suggest not doing it or if you do still plan to it, make sure the excerpt does not contain html tags.

    Also, where did you find the above code? It is not related to the activity content.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Tosin,
    Please feel free to adapt this code as you please.

    

add_filter( 'bp_activity_create_summary', function ( $summary, $content, $activity, $extracted_media ) {

	if ( 'new_blog_post' !== $activity['type'] ) {
		return $summary;
	}

	// recreate summary.
	$summary = bp_create_excerpt(
		html_entity_decode( $content ),
		225,
		array(
			'html'              => false,
			'filter_shortcodes' => true,
			'strip_tags'        => true,
			'remove_links'      => true,
		)
	);

	$permalink = get_permalink( $activity['secondary_item_id'] );

	return sprintf( "<a href='%s'>{$summary}</a>", esc_url( $permalink ) );
}, 10, 4 );

    Regards
    Brajesh

    thanks Brajesh,

    This helped

    /* turn activity excerpt into a clickable link */
add_filter( 'bp_activity_create_summary', function ( $summary, $content, $activity, $extracted_media ) {

	if ( 'new_blog_post' !== $activity['type'] ) {
	return $summary;
}

// Get post title.
$post_title = get_the_title( $activity['secondary_item_id'] );

// Get featured image.
$featured_image = get_the_post_thumbnail( $activity['secondary_item_id'], 'thumbnail' );

// Recreate summary.
$summary = bp_create_excerpt(
	html_entity_decode( $content ),
	225,
	array(
		'html'              => false,
		'filter_shortcodes' => true,
		'strip_tags'        => true,
		'remove_links'      => true,
	)
);

$permalink = get_permalink( $activity['secondary_item_id'] );

return "<a href='" . esc_url( $permalink ) . "'>" . $post_title . "</a>" . "<a href='" . esc_url( $permalink ) . "'>" . $featured_image . "</a>" . "<a href='" . esc_url( $permalink ) . "'>" . $summary . "</a>";

}, 10, 4 );

    Hi Tosin,
    You are welcome.
    good to see that you have added title/thumbnail. I would slightly update it to check for the existence of thumbnail image.

    Regards
