BuddyPress.org

Hi,

I am trying to show the number of new mentions associated with the logged in users profile.

I have found this page http://buddydev.com/support/forums/topic/at-mention-notification/ … I have used the last code provided by @sbrajesh

//at mention

add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'user_show_mentione_count_in_adminbar',20  );

function user_show_mentione_count_in_adminbar(){

global $bp;

if(!is_user_logged_in()||!($count=get_user_meta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'bp_new_mention_count' ,true)))

return;

//clear it because bp won't do it on profile

if(bp_is_home ()&&$bp->current_component==BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG&&$bp->current_action=="mentions")

delete_user_meta($bp->loggedin_user->id, 'bp_new_mention_count');

//show mentions

echo  "<li ><a href='".bp_get_loggedin_user_link().BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG."/mentions/'>New mentions(".$count.")</a></li>";

}

The only thing I have changed is the last line as I don’t want a link or any HTML outputted. Just the count (even if it’s zero).

echo  "<li ><a href='".bp_get_loggedin_user_link().BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG."/mentions/'>New mentions(".$count.")</a></li>";

to

echo  $count;

It works just fine except for one thing…

When the user has no new mentions I can’t get the code to display a ‘0’. It displays nothing at all.

I’m pretty sure this must be a simple fix but I’ve stared at it for ages now and haven’t managed it.

Can anyone help?
