BuddyPress.org

you can use like that,for me its working- but downside is all new products will be associated as posts in the activity stream. Can you tell me if you have also issue if somebody comments on activity stream at your posted product or any other activity, that notification you will get then click on it it will redirect you to activity of user who posted but not the actual conversation?

anyway.. here is the function i use in php function

add_filter ( ‘bp_blogs_record_post_post_types’, ‘activity_publish_custom_post_types’,1,1 );
function activity_publish_custom_post_types( $post_types ) {
$post_types[] = ‘product’;
return $post_types;
}

let me know if it works

bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( $user_id ) should help. Let us know if you need anything specific.

Did you tested without any additionnal mail plugin ?
Have you found this topic ?

1,2,3,4,6 should be left to WordPress plugins as these are specific to WP.

7, 10 have been discussed as core options. It just takes time for developers and the team to finalize specs and to code as this is all done on a volunteer basis. 10 is hard because it relies on a ton of dependent code that hasn’t been written or finalized yet.

5 – There’s been some preliminary work on this. See https://github.com/buddypress/bp-types-ui.

9 – If you’re using WordPress multisite, this should be already available as a WordPress option under “Network Admin > Settings”. Otherwise, this plugin might work, but does the opposite. It restricts signup to email domains that you specify.

Notifications

2 should already be in core.
3 is a good request, but unreliable due to how the notifications data is stored. It would be easy to do for BP core notifications, but notifications generated by plugins could store the user ID differently, making this unreliable.
4 could be done via a custom template or via a small code snippet.

I believe the wp_new_user_notification() function is what you’re looking for. It’s pluggable so you can define your own which will override the original definition:

function wp_new_user_notification( $user_id, $deprecated = null, $notify = '' ) {
    // Your own code here. Copy and paste the original function's content and then modify if you wish.
}

If there are still people looking for help, I have been trying different things today to:
-add the notifications counter in menu
-style differently if 0 notifications or 1+
-target only the main

It works for me, maybe you can check from here:

// filter to target only main menu
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','my_nav_menu_notif_counter', 10, 2);

function my_nav_menu_notif_counter($menu, $args) {

$url = bp_core_get_user_domain(bp_loggedin_user_id()) .'notifications/';

// counter to target unread notifications = 0 or 1+
$bpnotifcount = bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() );

       // condition: user must be loggedin
       if (!is_user_logged_in())
                return $menu;
       else

                // condition: only main nav
		if( $args->theme_location == 'primary' ) {

                        // condition: 0 unread notifications
			if($bpnotifcount == 0) { 
                	$notif = '<li><a href=" ' .$url. ' ">Notifications <span class="notifmenucount">'. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .'</span></a></li>';
			} else {
               		$notif = '<li><a href=" ' .$url. ' ">Notifications <span class="notifmenucount countnot0">'. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .'</span></a></li>';
			}

        		$menu = $menu . $notif;
        		return $menu;
		}

        	else
			return $menu;

}

And CSS

/*Notifications counter in menu*/
.notifmenucount {
border-radius: 25%;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
color: #888;
display: inline;
margin-left: 1px;
padding: 2px 6px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: center;
font-size: small;
}
.countnot0 {
color: #ffff00;
background: #ff0000;
border: 1px solid transparent;
}

😉

I tried all sorts of things on this topic today, I ended up with something that looks like it’s working. Maybe you can try it:

// filter to target only main menu
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','my_nav_menu_notif_counter', 10, 2);

function my_nav_menu_notif_counter($menu, $args) {

$url = bp_core_get_user_domain(bp_loggedin_user_id()) .'notifications/';

// counter to target unread notifications = 0 or 1+
$bpnotifcount = bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() );

       // condition: user must be loggedin
       if (!is_user_logged_in())
                return $menu;
       else

                // condition: only main nav
		if( $args->theme_location == 'primary' ) {

                        // condition: 0 unread notifications
			if($bpnotifcount == 0) { 
                	$notif = '<li><a href=" ' .$url. ' ">Notifications <span class="notifmenucount">'. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .'</span></a></li>';
			} else {
               		$notif = '<li><a href=" ' .$url. ' ">Notifications <span class="notifmenucount countnot0">'. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .'</span></a></li>';
			}

        		$menu = $menu . $notif;
        		return $menu;
		}

        	else
			return $menu;

}

And CSS:

/*Notifications counter in menu*/
.notifmenucount {
border-radius: 25%;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
color: #888;
display: inline;
margin-left: 1px;
padding: 2px 6px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: center;
font-size: small;
}
.countnot0 {
color: #ffff00;
background: #ff0000;
border: 1px solid transparent;
}

I hope it helps!

Hi,

BuddyPress doesn’t handle users. It use WP’s user_table and user_meta and his own meta tables (bp_activity_meta or bp_notifications_meta).

In BP settings, you have an option to sync BP to WP profile’s. And that’s all.

If you have another plugin who’s is synced with WordPress profiles, guess it will do the same with BP. But, adding a custom member table only for BP usage within WP registration process isn’t a good idea as you probably will have to rewrite a lot of code.

Members are the heart of BP, but in the sense of “how to show members and let them work together”, not in the way to include/register them to the site.
BP doesn’t never affect the first step when accessing the WP user registering. This step belongs clearly to WP ONLY. Adding member and meta tables doesn’nt modify that.

@pixelpushermama @julia_B did you fix this, or is it still a problem?

I just upgraded from BuddyPress 2.3.4 to 2.7.4 (WP 4.7.1) but now we seem to have a problem with the mentions. Users used to get an notification-email when they were mentioned in the comments on one of our sites. That doesnt happen anymore. But the emails from private messages or replies on activity-updates do work…
