BuddyPress.org

Thanks, I realized that I didn’t have email notifications working. Once I enabled those using WP-Mail-SMTP, I got the friend request and could see the tab. The URL for that page is http://localhost/members/username/friends/requests/

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’)*/
));

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