BuddyPress.org

Unfortunately, I think my issue is more problematic than that…I currently have 43 “blank” notifications and the number keeps growing. I have been receiving these blank notifications ever since I upgraded to Buddypress 1.9.1. I even tried reverting to Buddypress 1.8.1, but this did not resolve the problem.

I am using buddypress 1.9.2 with wordpress 3.8.1

I understand that the URL rewrite issue has been moved to BP 2.1. However the question still has not been answered as to whether this will solve the BP incompatibility with standard WordPress installation “In Its Own Directory”.
Will fixing the URL rewrite issues resolve this incompatibility issue as described here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/before-installing/

Oh I see. And the BuddyPress codex tells me what I need to know?

I found bp_notifications_get_registered_components() which will bring back an array “of component names that are currently active and have registered Notifications callbacks”.

Updated code

function qd_notifications_filter_form() {
	// Setup local variables
	$components   = bp_notifications_get_registered_components();
	$selected = '';
	

	// Check for a filter
	if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) ) {
		if ( in_array( $_REQUEST['s'], $components ) ) {
			$selected = $_REQUEST['s'];
		}
	} ?>

	<form action="" method="get" id="notifications-filter">
		<label for="notifications-filter-list"><?php esc_html_e( 'Filter By:', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>

		<select id="notifications-filter-list" name="s" onchange="this.form.submit();">
        	<option value="" <?php selected( $selected, '' ); ?>><?php _e( 'All', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <?php
            foreach ($components as $component) {
            ?>
            	<option value="<?php echo $component; ?>" <?php selected( $selected, $component ); ?>><?php _e( $component, 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <?php
            }
			?>
			
		</select>

		<noscript>
			<input id="submit" type="submit" name="form-submit" class="submit" value="<?php _e( 'Go', 'buddypress' ); ?>" />
		</noscript>
	</form>

<?php
}

Still not perfect, but better.

I’ve been playing around with the filtering aspect. Turns out Buddypress has a filter built in, so all you need to do is add a form (dropdown) to use it. I haven’t fully tested this but seems to work. I need a way to determine all possible notification component names and actions so it will autopopulate the dropdown when new plugins use notifications.

I copied /plugins/buddypress/bp-template/members/single/notifications.php to my child theme and added the following right below the bp_notifications_sort_order_form call

<li id="members-filter-select" class="last filter">
	<?php qd_notifications_filter_form(); ?>
</li>

Then in my functions.php file, I added the dropdown code (I basically stole this from the code that generates the sort by date dropdown.

function qd_notifications_filter_form() {

	// Setup local variables
        // Need to figure out a way to autopopulate this array
	$searchterms   = array( 'new_at_mention', 'bbp_new_reply','new_message','friendship_accepted','friendship_request','group_invite','localgroupnotifier','ac_notifier' );
	$selected = '';

	// Check for a custom sort_order
	if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) ) {
		if ( in_array( $_REQUEST['s'], $searchterms ) ) {
			$selected = $_REQUEST['s'];
		}
	} ?>

	<form action="" method="get" id="notifications-filter">
		<label for="notifications-filter-list"><?php esc_html_e( 'Filter By:', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>

// need to loop through this instead of hardcoding the options.
		<select id="notifications-filter-list" name="s" onchange="this.form.submit();">
        	<option value="" <?php selected( $selected, '' ); ?>><?php _e( 'All', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
			<option value="new_at_mention" <?php selected( $selected, 'new_at_mention' ); ?>><?php _e( 'Mentions', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
			<option value="bbp_new_reply"  <?php selected( $selected, 'bbp_new_reply'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="new_message"  <?php selected( $selected, 'new_message'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Messages', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="ac_notifier"  <?php selected( $selected, 'ac_notifier'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Activity', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="localgroupnotifier"  <?php selected( $selected, 'localgroupnotifier'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="friendship_accepted"  <?php selected( $selected, 'friendship_accepted'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Friend Accepts', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="friendship_request"  <?php selected( $selected, 'friendship_request'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Friend Requests', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
		</select>

		<noscript>
			<input id="submit" type="submit" name="form-submit" class="submit" value="<?php _e( 'Go', 'buddypress' ); ?>" />
		</noscript>
	</form>

@aces @mcpeanut I don’t know what happened, but I re-installed BuddyPress and its now there in Appearance > Menus.

Thanks!
All is good for now-

I’m trying to create a menu only accessible to those who log-in to the website.

Before (on window server) when I go to appearance > menu I had Pages, BuddyPress, Links, Categories. When I selected BuddyPress it gave me options to click on the pages I wanted my log-in folks to only see.

how do I get the back in to Appearance > Menu?

Think I’m trying to hard to accomplish what I want out of this website.

@mcpeanut yes, the issue was resolved with the window server.

I switch server and re-installed WP 3.8.1 and re-installed BuddyPress 1.9.2. For some odd reason: I do not have BuddyPress in Appearance > Menus

I went through to be sure my settings are as I want them: all good there. Just need the Buddypress option in the Menu.

I failed to find a solution. But as the functionality wasnt critical I left it as it was.

Genesis Connect is maintained for new versions of buddypress so if I were you I’d file a support ticket with the studiopress team and ask for their help.

Thanks! The book for sale on Amazon?

I’d love to just call in the exact BuddyPress components I want to use. Is that possible? For theming, I’m a heavy custom post types and ACF guy – I like to be very specific in where everything is placed.

Hoping BuddyPress allows this.

Again, thanks for the response.
