BuddyPress.org

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>

}

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.

OKAY! @buddyboss @mcpeanut @ So here is what I need. I now have a linux server! YAY ME! I’m in the process of redoing everything as I did not back it up.

I have buddypress installed the pages work. The issue I’m having now is:

BuddyPress is not showing in Appearance / Menus (as it did before) where I could select which pages I want only logged in folks to see.

I appreciate everyone’s else help.

I’ve found an alternative solution but I’ve hit a bump again. Is there a way to allow the textarea to use links. Or better yet can we add a formatter bar(bold, italic, link, etc) to the message area of Buddypress?
