BuddyPress.org

With more personalization coming to the new default theme (especially the homepage) in BP 1.2, I thought it would be a good idea to drop an “Inbox Widget” into the homepage sidebar so that users could get a snapshot of the most recent private messages they’ve received.

This quick plugin does just that. It enables an Inbox Widget allowing site administrators to add a widget to the sidebar. The widget will be only be shown to logged-in users who are currently viewing the homepage.

See http://davidtcarson.com/inbox-widget-for-buddypress/ for more information and a screenshot.

**WARNING** This is not a stable release and it will only work on sites running the latest trunk version (2244+) of BuddyPress.

Notes

• CSS support for read and unread classes
• Widget visible only to logged-in users
• Widget visible only on homepage

I do plan on improving the functionality. But for now it’s super basic.
