BuddyPress.org

Hi Modemlooper-

My theme is a child theme of Twenty Twelve, so my style.css declares Template: twentytwelve.

I followed your suggestion then took it a step farther and included slightly modified version of the js setup functions from the template pack in my `functions.php` file. I’ll post them here in case somebody else has the same problem I’m having:

`function bp_support_theme_setup() {
global $bp;

// Load the default BuddyPress AJAX functions if it isn’t explicitly disabled or if it isn’t already included in a custom theme
if ( ! function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’ ) )
require_once( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php’ );

// Let’s tell BP that we support it!
add_theme_support( ‘buddypress’ );

if ( ! is_admin() ) {
// Register buttons for the relevant component templates
// Friends button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘friends’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_add_friend_button’ );

// Activity button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘activity’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_send_public_message_button’ );

// Messages button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘messages’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_send_private_message_button’ );

// Group buttons
if ( bp_is_active( ‘groups’ ) ) {
add_action( ‘bp_group_header_actions’, ‘bp_group_join_button’ );
add_action( ‘bp_group_header_actions’, ‘bp_group_new_topic_button’ );
add_action( ‘bp_directory_groups_actions’, ‘bp_group_join_button’ );
}

// Blog button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘blogs’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_directory_blogs_actions’, ‘bp_blogs_visit_blog_button’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘bp_support_theme_setup’, 11 );

/**
* Enqueues BuddyPress JS and related AJAX functions
*
* @since 1.2
*/
function bp_support_enqueue_scripts() {

// Add words that we need to use in JS to the end of the page so they can be translated and still used.
$params = array(
‘my_favs’ => __( ‘My Favorites’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘accepted’ => __( ‘Accepted’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘rejected’ => __( ‘Rejected’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘show_all_comments’ => __( ‘Show all comments for this thread’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘show_all’ => __( ‘Show all’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘comments’ => __( ‘comments’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘close’ => __( ‘Close’, ‘buddypress’ )
);

// BP 1.5+
if ( version_compare( BP_VERSION, ‘1.3’, ‘>’ ) ) {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20120412’;

$params[‘view’] = __( ‘View’, ‘buddypress’ );
$params[‘mark_as_fav’] = __( ‘Favorite’, ‘buddypress’ );
$params[‘remove_fav’] = __( ‘Remove Favorite’, ‘buddypress’ );
}
// BP 1.2.x
else {
$version = ‘20110729’;

if ( bp_displayed_user_id() )
$params[‘mention_explain’] = sprintf( __( “%s is a unique identifier for %s that you can type into any message on this site. %s will be sent a notification and a link to your message any time you use it.”, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘@’ . bp_get_displayed_user_username(), bp_get_user_firstname( bp_get_displayed_user_fullname() ), bp_get_user_firstname( bp_get_displayed_user_fullname() ) );
}

// Enqueue the global JS – Ajax will not work without it
wp_enqueue_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), $version );

// Localize the JS strings
wp_localize_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, ‘BP_DTheme’, $params );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bp_support_enqueue_scripts’ );
`

Which is identical to installing the template pack only for the JS, I think. Everything’s working as expected, so I think we can consider this problem resolved. Thanks for your attention, Hugo and Modemlooper.

@modemlooper Revisiting this thread. I’m still looking to change the activation e-mail to go to the site admin instead, and even though this should be fairly easy I must be missing something. The code should be something like this, right?

`
function my_redirect_activation_email()
{
return get_site_option( ‘admin_email’ );
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_to’, ‘my_redirect_activation_email’);
`

Added this to my custom-functions.php but can’t seem to get it to work, WordPress stills sends the e-mail with the activation link to the new user instead. Any ideas? Thanks!

Sorry, I didn’t get an email notification that there was a reply.

Yes, I did that and it didn’t change anything. Any other ideas?

I need some help this issue as it is still going on. And we are willing to hire someone to resolve this issue. We have installed SB but that sends two notifications. Then we deactivated but the notifications that is going out doesn’t provide a new user with a password. we’ve tried short coding it to no avail. We need some assistance from someone with the now how to fix this new subscriber notification issue we’re having. Someone with the now how, please email tocia@pivot-media.com – we are willing to pay for your service!

Thanks

@Chouf1 Thanks, i know for sure how to change css of an element, but i have to create this element at first …

and the code i was looking for is :
` $wp_toolbar->add_node(array(
‘id’ => ‘bp-notifications’,
‘title’ => __(‘ ‘),
‘href’ => bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . ‘/notices/’,
/*’meta’ => array(‘class’ => ‘notifications’)*/
)); `
thanks to @bp-help , this is how to add a picture.

Am i right, with the code above, there will be a div with the id bp-notification and a image will be place into it ? Is there a way to just create a div with a certain id and then control the image via background (css) ?

I added the code and right now my code in this section (bp-member-adminbar.php) is this:
Pastebin Code

THE RESULT is … the toolbar disappeard. 🙁

@hnla Okay I added this and it places the count under the title. Now all I need to do is:
1.) Add name of person sending friend request and messages beside the count as well as the greeting.
Example: You have 1 friend request from USER1, You have 2 messages from USER2

2.) Add avatar of person sending the friend request or message to to left in the drop-down notification.

If you or anyone else can help on that it will be great.
For anyone who would like to use this I packaged it as a plugin here:
https://github.com/bphelp/custom_toolbar
If you would like to help with the code I can add you as a contributor. Thanks everyone!

@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’)*/
));

) );
}
}
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.
