Admin option to disable BuddyPress RSS feeds

[henrypwmoulton]

In general settings have an option to enable/disable RSS on the activity stream / anywhere on the buddypress site.

This is something which would benefit those who want privacy and those whose communities' demographic do not use RSS.

boonebgorges: Can you post that as a request to trac.buddypress.org?
boonebgorges: It makes sense to me to have that as part of a larger privacy system
boonebgorges: but it's small enough that it might be possible to include it before that larger system is in place

Renaming title of ticket to be more specific. I'm moving this to 1.8 for now, but might get pushed back to Future Release.

Since BP 1.8, there has been a filter allows admins to disable themes altogether. Put the following into bp-custom.php:

add_filter( 'bp_activity_enable_feeds', '__return_false' );

I think that adding a piece of UI for this would only be useful for a very small percentage of users, and so is not in keeping with our general minimalism about admin toggles.
