Global search activity results missing wall elements

[Ted]

Hi all, The buddyboss global search plugin activity results is missing wall elements and comments. How can I have them display? Thanks

Hi @surfbuddy, Global search includes the Activity and only activity_update

Yep, thanks. It’s returning the activity results, but in the example above, it’s missing the wall elements (like and comment buttons). How can I add those buttons to be included in the activity results page?

Hi @surfbuddy
It need to modify the Global Search plugin, you can get it inside
~/buddypress-global-search/buddypress-global-search.php

I looked at the file and still not sure what to add and where. How can I add the missing activity-meta (like and comment buttons, etc.) and where?

Thanks Varun, I replaced the code in buddypress-global-search/templates/loop/activity.php with yours and it didn’t work. The search results list for ALL and ACTIVITY is still not showing like, comment button, etc. Any ideas?

[Ted]

I was able to get this to work and add the wall elements to the search results.

However, since the search results page seem to be a wordpress post page, not a bp page, some of the functionality, styles, and js is not being enqueued.

For example, when clicking like and comment button. Like button reloads the entire page. Clicking The comment button takes user to: sitename.com/members/username/#ac-form-1 instead of opening the comment field.

Any ideas how to fix this? Thank you
