Adding Register Notice to Admin Bar?

  • I’d like to add some kind of short notice on the admin bar for users that are not logged in. Just a basic “Use this link to register” text.
    How can I go about doing this?

    There’s a “Sign Up” link notice in adminbar if you allow registration, beside the “Login” link see http://testbp.org/

    Registration is disabled by default, so if you’re not seeing the Sign Up link, you should go to admin dashboard > Super Admin > Options – Registration Settings – Allow New Registrations – check any other than default “Registration is disabled”

    Edit- for single WP install, go to dashboard > Settings > General Settings – Membership – Anyone can register and below that, you can choose Suscriber role.

    I know how to enable registrations. That’s not my question. I want to put my own message on the bar.

    True. I just wanted to clear that up first. So if you want to replace “Sign Up” with what you mentioned above:

    Sorry, I guess I didn’t make my request clear. Sometimes what I say makes sense to me, but nobody else lol.
    I want to add a message to the admin bar that says “Hey, login with:” and has small icons for facebook and twitter, etc linked to /wp-login.php
    So editing the labels/etc wouldn’t benefit me in this case. Thanks for the help so far though.

    Do do this, you might need to go into the BP-core, in Adminbar.php. We can’t write the code that you want to appear, you must write the code that you want to appear in the Admin bar, and add it to the php file.

    add this to bp-custom.php file and upload to wp-content/plugins folder

    function custom_adminbar_login() {
    // Your code here
    }
    }
    add_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'custom_adminbar_login', 1);

    or you know, that works too :)

    Merry Christmas! :D

    Sorry, I didn’t respond earlier, but I’ve been out of the country.
    @mercime thanks for the help, but I’m apparently being very dumb.
    Could you possibly throw in an example alternate code? Anything really, doesn’t matter. Everything I try I get:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<' and similar.

    No worries, e.g. Adding a link to Dashboard for Site Admin in BP Admin Bar

    function dashboard_link_in_adminbar() {
    if (is_user_logged_in() && is_site_admin()) {
    echo '<li><a href="/wp-admin/">Dashboard</a></li>';
    }
    }
    add_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'dashboard_link_in_adminbar', 1);

    Raised a ticket on this a while back and gave example code I was using to add dashboard links to adminbar and believe there has been a patch added and committed for 1.3.

    Yea, still not working right for me. I can get it to display, but it only displays the message for logged in users. Anyone logged out it just has the normal login/sign up links.

    Thanks @hnla good to know. Been using above code for a long time, was too lazy to type /wp-admin :-)

    @twig what code did you add that’s not working?

    I added exactly what you posted into my bp-custom file. It only displays for logged in users though. My bar will still display for logged out users, but not the custom message.

    What I posted was an example of adding a link to the adminbar, in this case, the Dashboard link for a Super Admin only, not for your specific scenario. Assuming you didn’t change the registration slug, it would be something like this

    function register_link_adminbar() {
    if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
    echo '<li><a href="/register/">Use this link to register</a></li>';
    }
    }
    add_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'register_link_adminbar', 2);

    Adjust as needed.

    Ok, I see what’s different now. Thanks for the help!
