Hi Michel,
I have pushed the update on wp.org. It will give you the option to limit content with number of words.

If you limit the content, It won’t show any image. All tags are stripped.

Please let me know if that works for you or not?

Thank you
Brajesh

Hi Michel
Thank you for the reply.

I went ahead with refactoring the SWA plugin so that we won’t have to worry about it next 2 years anymore.

I will put it anytime today. I am not sure If we need to put a filter for images but I will see. The images can be hidden case by case using css.

Thank you
Brajesh

Hi Devin,

1. to set a default category when the user does not choose it

add_action( 'bsfep_post_saved', 'buddydev_add_default_category_to_post' );
function buddydev_add_default_category_to_post( $post_id ) {
    
	$tax = array_filter( $_POST['tax_input'] );
	
	if( empty( $tax ) && $post_id ) {
		//no category was set
		$term = 32;//ID
		wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $term, 'category' );
		
	}
    

}

Change the value of term with the ID of the category you want to assign.

2. To Order the list display, I am sorry but that will need another update for simple front end post. you can download it from the site now. and then, as in my previous replies, I had posted the code for modifying setting, here is updated version of that

function buddyblog_show_custom_cats( $settings ) {
	$tax = array();
	 
	$tax['category'] = array(

		'taxonomy'		=> 'category',
		'view_type'		=> 'dd',
		'child_of'		=> 29, //CHAGE It with the correct ID,
		'orderby'		=> 'slug',
		'order'			=> 'ASC'
	);
	
	$settings['tax'] = $tax;
	
	return $settings;
}

Hope that helps.

Please do let me know how it went for you.

Hi Devin,
Thank you.
I am glad that it did work 🙂

1. That is doable, we will need to use some code to do that

2. Yes, it is doable too. We are using wp_dropdown_categories() which allows us to sort by ID,Name,slug in ascending or descending order. which order you want?

Please let me know and I will put the code 🙂

Hi Michel,
Welcome to BuddyDev Forums.

I just looked at the pdf an I see you just want to shorten the displayed activity content.

At the moment, SWA uses normal BuddyPress ‘bp_activity_content_body’ method and we can filter on

bp_get_activity_content_body

The problem with this approach is we are not sure if the output is being generated by the BuddyPress or the SWA.

I think, SWA needs an update to cleanup the code too, so please allow me upto 8-12 hours and I will have this available as an option in the widget itself.

Thank you
Brajesh
