A solution may be deleting the automatically created activity based on tags, but I am not sure if that will be appropriate.

Hi Tina,
Welcome to BuddyDev.

I may not have understood your requirement completely, but here is what you can do. Please put the following code in bp-custom.php

1. Change @ name to display name for logged in/displayed user

function buddydev_show_fullname_for_displayed_user( $username ) {
	return bp_get_displayed_user_fullname();
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_displayed_user_username', 'buddydev_show_fullname_for_displayed_user' );

function buddydev_show_fullname_for_loggedin_user( $username ) {
	return bp_loggedin_user_fullname();
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_loggedin_user_username', 'buddydev_show_fullname_for_loggedin_user' );

2. Change the label username to User Login

//this is a bad idea, use translation instead
function buddydev_change_login_labels( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	
	if ( $text =='Username' ) {
		$translated_text = 'User Login';
	}
	
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'buddydev_change_login_labels', 20, 3 );

For your 3rd step, I believe that is not required. Any number of people can have same name and will use it for display name. So, I don’t think that is a good idea.

Hope that helps.

Hi Dandy,
Please put this code in your bp-custom.php.

function buddydev_show_online_friends_only( $args ) {
	
	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() || empty( $args['type'] ) || $args['type'] !='online' ) {
		return $args;
	}
	
	$friend_ids = friends_get_friend_user_ids( bp_loggedin_user_id() );
	
	if ( empty( $friend_ids ) ) {
		$friend_ids = array( 0, 0 );//invalid
	}
	
	$args['include'] = $friend_ids;
	
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', 'buddydev_show_online_friends_only' );

It will list only friends and if a user has no friends, they won’t see any online user.

Hope that helps.
regards
Brajesh
