No, my goal is to eliminate the “what’s new” field completely.

Hi Brajesh,

Thank you for looking at this. I don’t feel like it’s a good idea for me to report a bug on this. At least not yet. For all I know it could be a plugin conflict or some conflict with custom code of mine. I want to gather more info first. I also have a post on the BuddyPress forum waiting for input.

We’ll see what happens, but thanks again.

Mike

Hi Ravi,

I would actually like to create a 2nd drop-down, as I mentioned above. However, let me try to understand what you are suggesting. I think my problem is that I don’t know how to communicate the asc and desc options to bp_ajax_querystring. When I do what you are suggesting, the “asc” or “desc” parameters show up as “type” not as “sort” when they get to bp_ajax_querystring.

I don’t know if I’m explaining that very well 🙂

Mike

function add_order_options( $options ) {
    // If not on single user screen return default options.
    if ( ! bp_is_user() ) {
        return $options;
    }

    $log_me = "\nVer 8:";
    $log_me .= "\nBefore: " . json_encode($options);

    if ( ! isset( $options['asc'] ) ) {
        $options['asc'] = __( 'Ascending Order' );
    }

    if ( ! isset( $options['desc'] ) ) {
        $options['desc'] = __( 'Descending Order' );
    }

    $log_me .= "\nAfter: " . json_encode($options);
    error_log($log_me);
    return $options;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_show_filters_options', 'add_order_options');

function filter_bp_aqs( $bp_aqs, $object )
{ 
    /*
    $query_sort = $_GET['sort'];

    if ( isset( $query_sort ) && $query_sort === 'asc' )
    $bp_aqs .= 'sort=ASC';
     */

    error_log('filter_bp_aqs: ' . $bp_aqs); 
    return $bp_aqs;
}
add_filter( 'bp_ajax_querystring', 'filter_bp_aqs', 999, 2 );
