BuddyPress Notifications Widget

With Theme Compatibility BP doesn’t have control over sidebars, bp-default theme used to hardcode messages to it’s sidebar. This is an issue discussed on a ticket, the interim solution was to feed site messages into the WP footer, and add default styling to position them over the site towards top of the page.

The solution is a widget, which is simple enough, I ran one up, but harder for users is knowing how to disable the existing feed into the wp_footer

Here’s what I did meanwhile:

1. removed all those junkcode, I had originally in 😉

2. found that display-issue in the above + corrected it in the code, which seemed responsible for no text/ no links being given (I inserted the missing a-href):
return apply_filters( ‘bp_activity_multiple_new_likes_notification’, ‘‘ . $text . ‘‘);
… but this also did not bring up the link + text …

3. wonder about that line:
$link=ac_notifier_activity_get_permalink2( $activity_id );
…removed the “2”, because with that in, my toolbar disappears…
Should that be noticed in the ac_notifier too, with the need to keep the “2”?

4. any notifications (even the live-notification-popup) still only appear on the likers-side, still not yet on the liked-user-profile!

So this is, what it looks like atm:

function bp_like_setup_globals() {
global $bp, $current_blog;
$bp->bp_like=new stdClass();
$bp->bp_like->id = 'bp-like';
$bp->bp_like->slug = 'bp_like';
$bp->bp_like->notification_callback = 'bp_like_format_notifications';
$bp->active_components[$bp->bp_like->slug] = $bp->bp_like->id;
do_action( 'bp_like_setup_globals' );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_globals', 'bp_like_setup_globals' );

function bp_like_format_notifications( $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items,$format='string') {
global $bp;
$glue='';
$user_names=array();
$activity = new BP_Activity_Activity( $activity_id );
$link=ac_notifier_activity_get_permalink( $activity_id );

//si c’est le posteur d’origine, dites que vous êtes, d’autre dire de% s après
if($activity->user_id==$bp->loggedin_user->id){
$text=__("your");
$also="";
}
else{
$text=sprintf(__("%s’s"), bp_core_get_user_displayname ($activity->user_id));//quelqu’un
$also=" also";
}
$ac_action='new_bp_like_'.$item_id;

if($action==$ac_action){
// if ( (int)$total_items > 1 ) {
// $users=ac_notifier_find_involved_persons($activity_id);
$total_user=$count=count($users);//montrent de nombreux utilisateurs uniques ont commenté
if($count>2){
$users=array_slice($users, $count-2);//simplement indiquer le nom de deux affiches, le repos doit être aussi et ‘n’ autre a également commenté
$count=$count-2;
$glue=", ";
}
else if($total_user==2)
$glue=" xxxx1xxxx ";//si il ya 2 utilisateurs uniques, disons x et y commenté

foreach((array)$users as $user_id)
$user_names[]=bp_core_get_user_displayname($user_id);

if(!empty($user_names))
$commenting_users=join($glue, $user_names);

if($total_user>2)
$text=$commenting_users." xxxxxxxx2xxxxxxx ".$count." xxxx3xxxx".$also." xxxxxxxx4xxxxxxx on ".$text." post";//peut-on changer la poste à quelque chose de significatif en fonction de l’élément d’activité?
else
$text=$commenting_users.$also." xxxxxx5xxxxx on ".$text." post";

if($format=='string')
return apply_filters( 'bp_activity_multiple_new_likes_notification', '<a href="'.$link.'">'.$text.'</a>');
else{
return array('link'=>$link,
'text'=>$text);
}
return false;
}

}

any suggestions?

thx in advance!

I am helping Kathryn with this issue, here are the details for the installation.

The original programmer for the site vanished, so the configuration is the way it is. Not asking anybody to solve the problem on our behalf, just opening the issue to more eyes. All help and all input is greatly appreciated.

Wordpress: 3.5.2
Buddypress: 1.7.3
PHP: 5.3 (I suspect this might be the culprit.)

@sushmitha
Just some friendly advice but I would open a new topic because the initial topic is going on four years old and some of that information may have been outdated. If you do not find the help you need then consider perhaps posting it on the jobs board.

@midexsoftware you can allow users to post anonymously in bbPress forums in Settings > Forums. As for notifications for each change in the forum, there’s no setting available by default. You could post at bbpress.org/forums/ for more assistance.

You can make your own. Here’s mine as an example. You’ll need to tinker around with the CSS or code if you’d like to display them differently. What the below does is it shows a number (the amount of notifications you have) when you have one or more. It is hidden when there are none to display. Hovering over the number will display your notifications in a drop-down.

Place into bp-custom.php:

/**
* Add Notification number to template
*/
function my_bp_adminbar_notifications_menu() {
global $bp;

if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
    return false;

echo '<div class="notices"><ul class="notices">';
_e( '', 'buddypress' );

if ( $notifications = bp_core_get_notifications_for_user( $bp->loggedin_user->id ) ) { ?>
    <li class="parent"><span class="notice-badge"><?php echo count( $notifications ) ?></span>
<?php
}

echo '</a>';
echo '<ul class="sub-menu">';

if ( $notifications ) {
    $counter = 0;
    for ( $i = 0; $i < count($notifications); $i++ ) {
        $alt = ( 0 == $counter % 2 ) ? ' class="alt"' : ''; ?>

        <li<?php echo $alt ?>><?php echo $notifications[$i] ?></li>

        <?php $counter++;
    }
} else { ?>

    <li><a href="<?php echo $bp->loggedin_user->domain ?>"><?php _e( 'You have no new alerts.', 'buddypress' ); ?></a></li>

<?php
}

echo '</ul></li>';
echo '</ul></div>';
}

CSS:

/*-------------------------- Notification dropdown -----------------------------------*/
.notice-badge { font-weight: bold; cursor: default; background: #d33939; padding: 0 3px; border-radius: 10px }

.notices ul li ul li.parent:hover { background-image: url(images/menu-arrow-left.png); background-position: 152px center; background-repeat: no-repeat; }

Place into header.php or wherever you’d like your notifications shown:
<?php my_bp_adminbar_notifications_menu()?>

@Chouf1, that’s my blog you’re linking to. I am not sure if they added Throttling to the new Buddypress version. I opened a ticket months ago, the milestone has been set to: version 1.7 to Future Release https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3732. This is a bit frustrating since Throttling makes for great spam control.

@tifire Go to /bp-friends/bp-friends-functions.php in your Buddypress installation and change the friends_add_friend function to the following:

function friends_add_friend( $initiator_userid, $friend_userid, $force_accept = false ) {
	global $bp;

	$friendship = new BP_Friends_Friendship;

	if ( (int) $friendship->is_confirmed )
		return true;

	$friendship->initiator_user_id = $initiator_userid;
	$friendship->friend_user_id    = $friend_userid;
	$friendship->is_confirmed      = 0;
	$friendship->is_limited        = 0;
	$friendship->date_created      = bp_core_current_time();
	
	/**
	 * BuddyPress Friend Request Throttling
	 *
	 * Set a throttle period for user friendship requests
	 *
	 * @author Patrick Saad
	*/
	
	global $wpdb;
	$qry = "SELECT date_created FROM wp_bp_friends where initiator_user_id = '".$initiator_userid."' order by date_created desc limit 1";
    $user_friend_requests = $wpdb->get_results( $qry );
	
	if ($user_friend_requests)
	{
		$latest_user_request = strtotime($user_friend_requests[0]->date_created, time());
		$time_since_latest_request = time() - $latest_user_request;
		
		// that's 2 minutes
		$throttle_period = 60 * 2;
		
		// if the last request was over 5 minutes ago, allow it
		
		if ($time_since_latest_request < $throttle_period)
			return false;
	}
	// End of BuddyPress Friend Request Throttling //

	if ( $force_accept )
		$friendship->is_confirmed = 1;

	if ( $friendship->save() ) {

		if ( !$force_accept ) {
			// Add the on screen notification
			bp_core_add_notification( $friendship->initiator_user_id, $friendship->friend_user_id, $bp->friends->id, 'friendship_request' );

			// Send the email notification
			friends_notification_new_request( $friendship->id, $friendship->initiator_user_id, $friendship->friend_user_id );

			do_action( 'friends_friendship_requested', $friendship->id, $friendship->initiator_user_id, $friendship->friend_user_id );
		} else {
			// Update friend totals
			friends_update_friend_totals( $friendship->initiator_user_id, $friendship->friend_user_id, 'add' );

			do_action( 'friends_friendship_accepted', $friendship->id, $friendship->initiator_user_id, $friendship->friend_user_id );
		}

		return true;
	}

	return false;
}

This will prevent a user from sending a friendship request to someone if their recent friendship request date was less than, say 2 minutes (change the $throttle_period variable to modify this time)

Just gave this a fresh test, works in Buddypress 1.7.2. This same concept can be applied to comments, groups, etc, you just have to find the functions and play around.

Hi @riente,
I read your blog post twice but couldn’t get it…
Did you edit the original BP code?
Perhaps latest BP update changed the location of the function you edited.

My code looks something like that:

<?php
require('wp-load.php');
require_once('wp-includes/user.php');
require_once('wp-includes/pluggable.php');
require_once('wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-loader.php');

$from_id=get_current_user_id();
if (empty($from_id)) exit; // do nothing if there's no current user
///////// ...some boring code here... ////////
$sum=10; // for example
$to_user_link = bp_core_get_userlink($to_id);
$from_user_link = bp_core_get_userlink($from_id);

$note_to="You got $sum points from $from_user_link"; // <--- notification to be sent to payee
$note_from="You sent $sum points to $to_user_link";  // <--- notification to be sent to payer

/********** Now how do I send the above notifications to the relevant users $from_id and $to_id? ********/
bp_core_add_notification( $item_id, $to, $component_name, $component_action, $secondary_item_id);

Thank you!

Hello, same problem here.
How to fix?

Error on line 95:
“Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments in /home/ninstitu/public_html/trevinhodasorte.com.br/comunidade/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-notifications.php on line 95”

The action itself works, but why the error appears?
Why the error?
Remove the notification is not enough, everyone needs to do, much work. It is no longer so easy to fix?
See the full archive here: http://pastebin.com/R4P5DGbg

Thankful!

@bphelp all the further requirements you want to add can be found in the various core files, I know no better than you at this stage and would have to be reading through those files to identify what functions, variables etc I had to work with to achieve what I wanted, I did something similar to this  a while back for  custom WP pages dragging user data out, the only way I managed that was by studying the core files.

Without wanting to sound harsh 🙂  it’s down to you to finish now, the bits like avatars shouldn’t be too hard to figure now you’ve got this far.

When it’s finished  get it placed on the WP plugin repo.
