Did you ever get this sorted out?

[@osisis Participant 9 years, 5 months ago]

@duxortus were you able to get the code for this worked out? I have WDS BP Framework and an not seeing where the members header is called for in messages.php so I figured I would try the former option Hugo mentioned.

This is what I’ve tried so far, unfortunately, BP for whatever reason doesn’t like the code.

Not sure if you have worked this out on your own as of yet, but if not you could try the code at this link. Sorry, BP.org keeps blocking the code from posting it in here.

Paste Bin Add My Groups to AdminBar

[@osisis Participant 9 years, 6 months ago]

once I get the files how then would I call them to my admin bar? I attempted adding a menu, but that doesn’t seem to be working.

 $pre_msg       = get_template_part( 'bp-preview-messages' );

			$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
				'parent' => 'messages-personal-li',
				'id'     => 'message-threads',
				'title'  => $pre_msg,
			) );

@r-a-y I’m using the BuddyPress method of having my admin bar appear more as a menu. I had been playing with code for the past couple of days I’d tried.

But that hadn’t worked as now no matter what my message notifications just keep saying no new notifications.

Hadn’t thought to use JS… Will have to give that a try. Thanks!

Fixed the code above to fix the logo positioning. Now just need to work on margins and padding.

Not sure how to mark this topic resolved, but I’ve decided to go about this in another manner. I followed the BP model and have my admin bar acting in the capacity of a menu and deleted my primary menu. Is working out pretty well thus far. For anyone else that’s interested I

Removed “howdy, $name” just because to me it screams WP

function custom_adminbar_welcome() {
	global $wp_admin_bar;

		$name = wp_get_current_user()->display_name;
		$avatar = get_avatar( wp_get_current_user()->ID, 28 );
		$class = $class = empty( $avatar ) ? '' : 'with-avatar';

		$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
                'id'    => 'my-account',
                'title' => __('') . $avatar,
				'class' => $class
			) 
		);
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'custom_adminbar_welcome' );

Removed WP links and change logo

add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'custom_adminbar_welcome' );

function rebranding_wordpress_logo(){
        global $wp_admin_bar;
        //the following codes is to remove sub menu
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('about');            // Remove the about WordPress link
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('wporg');            // Remove the WordPress.org link
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('documentation');    // Remove the WordPress documentation link
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('support-forums');   // Remove the support forums link
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('feedback');         // Remove the feedback link
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('site-name');        // Remove the site name menu
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('view-site');        // Remove the view site link
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('updates');          // Remove the updates link
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('comments');         // Remove the comments link
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('new-content');      // Remove the content link
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('w3tc');             // If you use w3 total cache remove the performance link
 
        //and this is to change wordpress logo
        $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
            'id'    => 'wp-logo',
            'title' => '<img src="http://test.theblackxperience.com/darklogo45.png" />',
            'href'  => __(home_url()),
            'meta'  => array(
                'title' => __('eQubator'),
            ),
        ) );
        
}
add_action('wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'rebranding_wordpress_logo' );

Moved BP child menus up to make them primary menus

function make_parent_node( $wp_admin_bar ) {

if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
		return false;
	}

	 $wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(
		'id'     => 'my-account-activity',     // id of the existing child node (New > Post)
		'title'  => '<span class="ab-icon"></span><span class="ab-item">'._x( '', '' ).'</span>', // alter the title of existing node
		'parent' => false,          // set parent to false to make it a top level (parent) node
	)); 
    $wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(
        'id'     => 'my-account-friends',     // id of the existing child node (New > Post)
		'title'  => '<span class="ab-icon"></span><span class="ab-item">'._x( '', '' ).'</span>', // alter the title of existing node
		'parent' => false,          // set parent to false to make it a top level (parent) node
	));    
    $wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(
        'id'     => 'my-account-messages',     // id of the existing child node (New > Post)
		'title'  => '<span class="ab-icon"></span><span class="ab-item">'._x( '', '' ).'</span>', // alter the title of existing node
		'parent' => false,          // set parent to false to make it a top level (parent) node
	));
   
	$wp_admin_bar->add_node( $args );
}
add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'make_parent_node', 999 );

Added CSS to turn the menu items into dashicons

#wp-admin-bar-my-account-friends .ab-icon:before{
	font-family: "dashicons" !important;
	content: "\f307" !important;
}
#wp-admin-bar-my-account-messages .ab-icon:before{
	font-family: "dashicons" !important;
	content: "\f466" !important;
}
#wp-admin-bar-my-account-activity .ab-icon:before{
	font-family: "dashicons" !important;
	content: "\f130" !important;
}

#wpadminbar .quicklinks li#wp-admin-bar-bp-notifications>a:before{
	font-family: "dashicons" !important;
	content: "\f319" !important;
}

Only problem I’m having now is that for some reason the logo has decided to move itself to the right, but that’s another question for another topic. But hope this helps someone else.

To add to this, for the record I tried to grab the css classes and the menu id adding each to my style.css

#menu-item-20 ul li#bp-menu#bp-notifications-nav:before {
			font-family: 'FontAwesome';
			content: "\f030";
		}
.bp-menu bp-notifications-nav:before {
			font-family: 'FontAwesome';
			content: "\f030";
		}
.menu-item-19 .menu-primary li a:before {
      font-family: 'FontAwesome';
      content: "\f030";
}

But neither have had the desired results. Prior to this I was sure to enqueue Font Awesome into the functions.php of my child theme.

PLEASE DISREGARD

Reading is fundamental and after I carefully read through the code I figured out where the ID went. My apologies. Only thing I changed was the CSS adding a negative margin so it overlapped my menu border.

@danbp many thanks!

[@osisis Participant 9 years, 7 months ago]

Have you sorted this out yet? If not, if your nav has drop down capabilities you could add the menu items in the same order they are in the adminbar. For notifications, check out this post here.

@mcUK Can you tell me where you added the ID to allow for the CSS?
