I didn’t found one while I was in similar situation, but you can extend my hardcoded php to a plugin that I’ve glued some time ago:

<?php
//display new massages count along with new massages list
global $bp;
$hmag_inbox_count = messages_get_unread_count();
?>

<li class="dropdown pr">
<a data-target=&quot;#wiadomosci_drop&quot; data-toggle=&quot;dropdown&quot; href=&quot;messages/" class="messages  0) ? 'active' : ''); ?> dropdown-toggle">
<span class="notifications_type">
Wiadomo?ci
</span>

<?php
if ($hmag_inbox_count > 0) {
$display_unread_count = $hmag_inbox_count;
if ($hmag_inbox_count > 9) {
$display_unread_count = '9+';
}
echo '<span class="notifications_count br3">'.$display_unread_count.'</span>';
}
?>
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu status_drop_wrap" id="#wiadomosci_drop">
<em class="before_arrow"></em>
<div class="status_drop">
<h5>Nowe wiadomo?ci</h5>
<a href=";" class="status_drop_close"></a>

<ul class="unstyled clearfix">

<li class="clearfix db pr x40img">
<a href=&quot;" class="single_status_link clearfix">
<em class="after_hide"></em>
<span class="image-wrap db fl">

</span>
<span class="oh db clearfix">
<span class="status_title cb"></span>
<span class="status_text cb">

</span>
</span>
</a>
</li>

</ul>
<?php } else {
echo '<p class="empty_info">
Brak nowych wiadomo?ci

';
}?>
<a href=&quot;messages/" class="db all_updates cb fr">
Zobacz wszystkie
</a>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

Sorry it’s in Polish and a bit messy, but I belieev you will manage to take a meat out of it : )

Thanks shanebp for your effort, but Boris’ idea seems to be more sensible for me. Thanks you both for answer.

@shanebp, you are awesome : )
I just jumped into my ftp, located the function bp_has_message_threads() and trully there is a type param. And… the code you posted on top works like a dream : )
Thanks again.

And did YOU look at the codex?
Ofcourse, it was the first thing I did when I discovered the problem. I’ve been heavy googling for one hour after I made this question. At the codex there is info that the olny accepted parameters are:
{user_id, box, per_page, max}. Perhaps “box=notices” would be some point of interest (can’t check now as I’m away from working env) but obviusly there’s nothing like type

And about: bp_message_thread_has_unread()
I don’t want to check if the message I get is unread or not, but I need to make this filter on the level of query ( not display ), so I am getting only unread messages, not ‘n’ number of messages from which I am displaying only those that are unread because either way I will not display all of them or I will have to query very big amount.

I see the great power of BuddyPress, but I’m pretty new in this system (it’s my second day ) and I’m jumping through files and functions looking for some clue. I could optionaly make it dirty hardcode, but then everyone in my team would push me to the pit of inferno

//EDIT
Anyway: Thanks for interest
