@xwafflecakes since BP 1.9, you should have dedicated notifications pages at members/username/notifications/ and members/username/notifications/read/

Do these help?

Regarding the notifications ‘bubble’ in the admin bar – you can output the number of notifications a user has like this

echo bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() );

Ok, sorry, I didn’t read the whole topic !

Here is the solution for those who still have this double display on their notification TAB :

– Check that you do have Buddypress 1.9.1
– Seek in your child theme the file : /members/single/home.php
– Copy this code in it (say line 70 or close, you will see the same kind of code) :

elseif ( bp_is_user_notifications() ) : 
 	locate_template( array( 'members/single/notifications.php' ), true ); 
 

It does work, whatever your /settings/notification.php is customized.
Enjoy.

Team, please help! where should I add the following code in home.php file? what do you mean about the end of loop? Thank you!
elseif ( bp_is_user_notifications() ) :
bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/notifications’ );

here is home.php
———–
<div id=”item-body”>

<?php do_action( ‘bp_before_member_body’ );

if ( bp_is_user_activity() || !bp_current_component() ) :
locate_template( array( ‘members/single/activity.php’ ), true );

elseif ( bp_is_user_blogs() ) :
locate_template( array( ‘members/single/blogs.php’ ), true );

elseif ( bp_is_user_friends() ) :
locate_template( array( ‘members/single/friends.php’ ), true );

elseif ( bp_is_user_groups() ) :
locate_template( array( ‘members/single/groups.php’ ), true );

elseif ( bp_is_user_messages() ) :
locate_template( array( ‘members/single/messages.php’ ), true );

elseif ( bp_is_user_profile() ) :
locate_template( array( ‘members/single/profile.php’ ), true );

elseif ( bp_is_user_forums() ) :
locate_template( array( ‘members/single/forums.php’ ), true );

elseif ( bp_is_user_settings() ) :
locate_template( array( ‘members/single/settings.php’ ), true );

// If nothing sticks, load a generic template
else :
locate_template( array( ‘members/single/plugins.php’ ), true );

endif;

do_action( ‘bp_after_member_body’ ); ?>

</div><!– #item-body –>

@macpresss

Looks solid to me. If you wanted to condense the code into two lines you could use the logical operator &&

e.g.

if ( bp_has_notifications( 'user_id=' . bp_loggedin_user_id() ) && is_user_logged_in() ) {
    // ... here I've got the loop stuff ...
}

You could also append this bit which will let you output something to logged in users having no notifications:

else {
    // ... no notifications ...
}

Thanks @mercime for your quick answer.
But i’m a french novice and i’m not understanding very well what to do in the https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5299 topic.

Should I install thos patches:
5299.01.patch​ and 5299.02.patch​

or should I follow indications in lastest johnjamesjacoby’s comment:
In 7689:
Notifications:
Add templates and parts for bp-default theme. Also modify home.php to include notifications.php.

or should I do the both ?

Sorry for asking but no access to notfications is important for my users 😉
Alos do you have an idea when the next update will be released ?
Thanks.

@_dorsvenabili when adding custom functions to functions.php it might be a good idea to add a prefix to all of your function names. As you can see buddyboss has done it with buddyboss_childtheme_.

You could have used dorsvenabili_core_get_notifications_for_user or my_core_get_notifications_for_user

Saves conflicts from happening 🙂

You would need to add some sort of css to style the output

<?php 
    if ( $notifications = bp_core_get_notifications_for_user( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ) {

        if ( $notifications ) {
            echo '<div id="notifications-header"><ul>';
            for ( $i = 0; $i < count($notifications); $i++ ) {
                $badge = count($notifications);
                echo '<li>'.$notifications[$i].'</li>';
            }
            echo '</ul></div>';
            echo '<span id="notifications-badge">'.$badge.'</span>';
        }

    } 
?>

@pjbursnall yeah that code replicates the notification element only (the only part that is somewhat confusing to replicate) you place the code in the plugins directory in bp-custom.php you may have to create the file yourself.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9953482/how-to-make-a-pure-css-based-dropdown-menu – shows you how to create a drop down menu, https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo get the current users info so you can create links to their profile pages, etc.

Just a note, to add the notifcations to your custom bar your code will look something like <li><?php bp_notification_badge(); ?></li>
