Conditional Activity Length

Hi @daltontastic,

There is no built-in way to quickly filter the activity length per user. However, you can prevent the plugin from loading when the user is premium:

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'maybe_disable_bplal' );
function maybe_disable_bplal() {
    if ( is_premium() ) {
        remove_action( 'bp_include', array( 'BP_LimitActivityLength', 'init' ) );
    }
}

(assuming this code is loaded from a plugin)

Cheers,

Okay so I symbolize which people are Premium by using modemlooper’s BuddyVerified Plugin…

So does that mean the code would look like this?

add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, ‘maybe_disable_bplal’ );
function maybe_disable_bplal() {
if ( is_verified() ) {
remove_action( ‘bp_include’, array( ‘BP_LimitActivityLength’, ‘init’ ) );
}
}

Also, where do I put the code?

That sounds about right. Though I don’t think BuddyVerified comes with a is_verified function (correct me if I’m wrong). You’d have to write that function yourself.. looking at the plugin quickly, that would be something like:

function bp_is_verified() {
    $verified = get_user_meta( get_current_user_id(), 'bp-verified', true );
    return !empty( $verified );
}

(untested!)

The best place to put all this is in a new plugin. That plugin could just contain these two functions and the add_action call.

Cheers,
