Feature request – page with all photos that a user has uploaded

One way I was able to fix this was create a new scope that basically searches all activity items for a string and then output all of the activity items with given string

For this plugin, we will search for bpfb_images to search for image activity posts generated by Buddypress Activity Plus

Theres two parts to edit:

1. functions.php
2. yourtheme/buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php

Put this in your functions:

//Members query switch
function custom_activity_scope($members_query){
	parse_str($members_query,$query_vars);
	switch($query_vars['scope']){
		case 'descooverimages':
		$members_query .= "&search_terms=bpfb_images";
		break;
		default:
		return $members_query;
	}
	return $members_query;
}

function bn_add_activity_tab() {
	echo '<li id="activity-descooverimages"> <a href="#" title="View Images">Images</a> </li>';
}
add_action( 'bp_activity_type_tabs', 'bn_add_activity_tab', 1, 2 );

then in yourthemename/buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php, change

if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ) :

to

$activity_query = custom_activity_scope(bp_ajax_querystring('activity'));
if (bp_has_activities($activity_query)) :

Now you should have tab in your activity feed labeled ‘Images’, and when you click on it, will show the search results for activity items with bpfb_images.

The reason this works is because in the WordPress Database, it is actually saved as [bpfb_images]http://domain.com/image.jpg[/bpfb_images], so searching for that exact phrase will bring those items in.
