@Quint

Thank you again!
I’m going to check that template file to see anything wrong!

@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.

im using salutation its a buddypress compatible theme

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

@mercime The members page shows the sidebar pushed down still. here: http://www.chelseatalk.co.uk/members

My specific problem is that I need to add a country select box to the extended user profile that will appear in registration form and I don’t want to add it through the admin panel because (1) it is hard to enter 256 countries manually and (2) I will need multiple instances of that list.

Now I came up with the following code after a while of digging into the core files of BuddyPress, the first part that add the ‘Country’ `selectbox` works fine, but the second part which is supposed to add the countries options does not wok, I get an empty `selectbox` that is labeled “Country” without any options:

`
add_action(‘bp_init’, ‘add_custom_country_list’); // That might not be the perfect hook to use
function add_custom_country_list() {
if (xprofile_get_field_id_from_name(‘Country’)) return;
$country_list_args = array(
‘field_group_id’ => 1,
‘type’ => ‘selectbox’,
‘name’ => ‘Country’,
‘Description’ => ‘Please select your country’,
‘is_required’ => true,
‘can_delete’ => false,
‘order_by’ => ‘default’
);
$country_list_id = xprofile_insert_field($country_list_args); // It work till here – The following part does not work
if ($country_list_id) {
$country_list = array(‘USA’,’Germany’,’England’); // To be replaced with the full country list
foreach ($country_list as $i => $country) {
xprofile_insert_field(array(
‘field_group_id’ => 1,
‘parent_id’ => $country_list_id,
‘type’ => ‘option’,
‘name’ => $country,
‘option_order’ => $i+1
));
}
}
}
`
Can anyone help me about what is wrong with this code? Thanks.

Paul, anyway it’s pretty simple to use both methods. We know that default wp_users support first_name, last_name, nickname and description (bio). Maybe you could make possibile to modify each of that from buddypress (i made it in my theme) and make a base group with these fields. Then if administrators want to add more fields and groups you could populate xprofile table. In this way you could have a more deep integration into WordPress.

Thanks guys for your kind replies. @rogercoathup, will your plugin allow users to create several galleries? And will users be able to tag other users (their buddies) on photos not their own?

Thanks again.

Thats all the code that was contained on that page? Not sure what is missing?

@mercime i can’t even begin to say thank you. i have spent days trying to figure this out. seeing it actually work is incredible. thanks for all your help and hardwork!

OK, I’ve just tested BP 1.6.1 on WP 3.4.2 (BP Default theme) in my dev site.
Yes, the same issue is still persistent!
Also, I found an interesting post and I wonder if AJAX change is related with this issue…
