@chouf1 with your help and hnla’s I have this working but even with the above examples in how to get the counts in a drop down I am not certain how to do this. Where do I place:

echo bp_friend_get_total_requests_count( $user_id );

echo bp_get_total_unread_messages_count($name );

echo count($notifications);

In the code because it either fires off an error or it actually echo’s the code. What am I doing wrong? Thanks again for all your help! 🙂
`
function custom_toolbar($wp_toolbar) {
global $wp_admin_bar;

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {

$wp_toolbar->add_node(array(
‘id’ => ‘bp-notifications’,
‘title’ => __(‘ ‘),
‘href’ => bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . ‘/notices/’,
/*’meta’ => array(‘class’ => ‘notifications’)*/
));

$wp_toolbar->add_node(array(
‘id’ => ‘user-friends’,
‘title’ => __(‘ ‘),
‘href’ => bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_friends_slug() . ‘/requests/’,
/*’meta’ => array(‘class’ => ‘menupop’)*/
) );

$wp_toolbar->add_node(array(
‘id’ => ‘user-messages’,
‘title’ => __(‘ ‘),
‘href’ => bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . ‘/view/’,
/*’meta’ => array(‘class’ => ‘menupop’)*/
) );
}
}
add_action(‘admin_bar_menu’, ‘custom_toolbar’, 999);
`

I made some changes now all the icons link to the pages but I need help to show the drop down menu for each individual notification. Here is what I have so far and I really am not certain of the id of each type of notification! Thanks in advance!

function custom_toolbar($wp_toolbar) {
global $wp_admin_bar;

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
	
	$wp_toolbar->add_node(array(
	'id' => 'bp-notifications',
	'title' => __('<img src="http://localhost/mydev/wp-content/plugins/custom-toolbar/_inc/images/notifications.png" /> '),
	'href'  => bp_loggedin_user_domain() .  bp_get_messages_slug() . '/notices/',
	/*'meta' => array('class' => 'notifications')*/
	));
	
	$wp_toolbar->add_node(array(
	'id' => 'user-friends',
	'title' => __('<img src="http://localhost/mydev/wp-content/plugins/custom-toolbar/_inc/images/friends.png" />'),
	'href'  => bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_friends_slug() . '/requests/',
	/*'meta' => array('class' => 'menupop')*/
	) );
	
	$wp_toolbar->add_node(array(
	'id' => 'user-messages',
	'title' => __('<img src="http://localhost/mydev/wp-content/plugins/custom-toolbar/_inc/images/messages.png" />'),
	'href'  => bp_loggedin_user_domain() .  bp_get_messages_slug() . '/view/',
	/*'meta' => array('class' => 'menupop')*/
	) );
	}
}
add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'custom_toolbar', 999);

Okay with this code I got all links to work. Thanks @chouf1 for helping. Now I just need the get the friend requests and messages to have a drop down to display when there is a message. If anyone has a better idea I am totally open to suggestions. I would like to get this working like facebooks if possible. Also I was wondering in the below code how can I get the images loaded dynamically from plugins /images folder I created? Thanks again!


function custom_toolbar($wp_toolbar) {
global $wp_admin_bar;

$wp_toolbar->add_node(array(
'id' => 'messages-inbox',
'title' => __(' '),
'href' => bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . '/view/',
) );
}
}
add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'custom_toolbar', 999);

Okay, phew, it wasn’t as serious as I first thought. This now won’t send an email if the content is empty (which is, apparently, the case when a user is being deleted):

`function pa_send_notification_email( $args ) {
// If current user deletes his/her own activity, do nothing
if (($args[‘user_id’] != bp_loggedin_user_id())) {
$ud = get_userdata($args[‘user_id’]);
$to = $ud->user_email;
// Build the message
if (($to) && ($to != ”)) {
global $wpdb;
$content = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT content FROM “.$wpdb->prefix.”bp_activity WHERE id = %d;”, $args[‘id’] ) );
if ($content != ”) {
$subject = ‘Your post has been removed’;
$message = ‘A moderator has removed your post. If you want to know why, please forward this message to the moderation team.
‘;
$message .= ‘Removed content:
‘;

$message .= wpautop( $content );
$message .= ”;

//Send email
wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, ‘content-type: text/html’ );
}
}
}
}
add_action( ‘bp_before_activity_delete’, ‘pa_send_notification_email’);`

Hmm, the situation is not as dire as I thought. I did more testing and it appears that, when I delete a user who as posted multiple times, my function only sends one notification email to the user — but the SQL query is empty (as we might expect). So I think all I need to do is put a check in to see whether the deleted “content” is empty or not, and if it is, don’t send the email.

I’ll keep updating this thread with my findings in case it’s useful to anyone!

Revisiting this thread with a new issue!

My function has been working well, except I’ve recently discovered a small flaw: if an administrator deletes a user, then the user receives an email informing him or her that his activity has been removed for each and every thing he or she has ever posted! For a prolific user, that could be hundreds or thousands of emails. Not good!

This is by virtue of the user-delete process — it appears as though BuddyPress deletes each activity individually, and then WordPress deletes the user account.

For reference, my function is:

`function pa_send_notification_email( $args ) {
// If current user deletes his/her own activity, do nothing
// otherwise construct and send email
if ($args[‘user_id’] != bp_loggedin_user_id()) {
$ud = get_userdata($args[‘user_id’]);
$to = $ud->user_email;
// Build the message
if (($to) && ($to != ”)) {
$subject = ‘Your post has been removed’;
$message = ‘A moderator has removed your post. If you want to know why, please forward this message to the moderation team.
‘;
$message .= ‘Removed content:
‘;
global $wpdb;
$message .= wpautop( $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT content FROM “.$wpdb->prefix.”bp_activity WHERE id = %d;”, $args[‘id’] ) ) );
$message .= ”;

//Send email
wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, ‘content-type: text/html’ );
}
}
}
add_action( ‘bp_before_activity_delete’, ‘pa_send_notification_email’);`

So what I think I need is an extra check in my function, to make sure we are not about to delete the user. I’ve thought about a secondary function to hook into the `delete_user` action to set a global variable, and then checking for this variable in my `pa_send_notification_email()` function.

But I am not sure how to go about this. Does anyone have any thoughts?

I’m using Buddypress Social from WPMU.

I switched to BP Default and:

– didn’t see the double avatar in the Activity list
– same problem with updating my profile
– same problem trying to create a Group

For the first issue, of confirming a friend, it was a little more complicated. I used Safari which was logged into antoher user account to accept friendship. It worked normally. I then went to the Friends list, and cancelled the friendship. I’m not sure why the friend was still listed there, but I took advantage of that and clicked on the Add Friend button. It loaded a new page that said:

Are you sure you want to do this?

and then a link that said:

Please try again.

which links back to my Friends page, which this time was blank. In any case, the combination of ‘Are you sure…’ and ‘Please try again.’ seems out of place.

I then went to the Members page, and clicked Add Friend again. I then went to the Members page using my admin account (the account I requested friendship of) and it listed the members including the account I requested from – and next to that name it had a button labeled ‘Cancel Friend Request’ which seems backwards. However, I noticed two notifications in the top menu, one which said the user had accepted my friendship request, and another saying the user had requested my friendship. I selected the second one and was taken to the Requests page. I clicked Accept and it seemed to work normally.

Hope that’s all clear…

I did check out some of the “like” plugins, but most of them hadn’t been maintained or didn’t work properly. I was hoping to tailor a core feature to work in a similar, simple way. So far I think what I have done works great, but just need to incorporate notifications.

I still think that it wold be useful if a user was notified when someone favorited their activity.

Well, after being driven almost bonkers, I have solved this — and found what I think is a bug in BuddyPress 1.6.1.

I went with @shanebpx’s great suggestion of using a get_var query:


$content_id = $args['id'];
global $wpdb;
$content = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare("SELECT content FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."bp_activity WHERE id = %d;", $content_id ) );
$message .= wpautop($content);


However, I was baffled by the fact that $content kept coming up empty. Until I finally took a look at how BuddyPress was calling do_action( 'bp_before_activity_delete', $args ); in /bp-activity/bp-activity-functions.php:


if ( !$activity_ids_deleted = BP_Activity_Activity::delete( $args ) )
return false;

do_action( 'bp_before_activity_delete', $args );


Yup, it’s apparently doing the bp_before_activity_delete action after BP_Activity_Activity::delete!

I have edited my copy of /bp-activity/bp-activity-functions.php to put the do_action before the deletion.


do_action( 'bp_before_activity_delete', $args );
if ( !$activity_ids_deleted = BP_Activity_Activity::delete( $args ) )
return false;

// Check if the user's latest update has been deleted
if ( empty( $args['user_id'] ) )
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
else
$user_id = $args['user_id'];


and at last, my email function works!

Now, how do I go about submitting this as a bug…?
