    Hi, i tried to access unread messages from other users, but the following code gives me only access to the account messages, i am logged in with.

    Here is a part of the code. If i use another user ID then the current logged in account, i get no results.

    ...
      $aParams ['box'] = 'inbox';
      $aParams ['per_page'] = '99';
      $aParams ['user_id'] = $UID;

      if (bp_has_message_threads($aParams)) {
          while (bp_message_threads()) {
              bp_message_thread();

              $subject = bp_get_message_thread_subject();
              $excerpt = bp_get_message_thread_excerpt();
              $from = bp_get_message_thread_from();
              $unread = bp_message_thread_has_unread();
              if ($unread){
              	$messages .= ' From: ' . $from . ' Subject: ' . $subject . ' Excerpt: ' . $excerpt;
              }
            }
        } else {
            return array("message" => "no messages");
        }
        return array("all messages" => "$messages");
...

    I am using WordPress 4.2.2 and BB 2.3.1

    Hi @stefanbu

    It isn’t clear from your post what you are trying to do. You should explain in detail your aim and any problems you’re facing.

    By default, you have no access to others messages, even if site admin. Your request sounds like a privacy violation. Why would you access to others messages ? Please explain with more details what you want to do.

    The problem may be that bp_message_thread_has_unread() is hard-coded to check based on the loggedin_user.
    See bp-messages\classes\class-bp_messages-thread.php

    If you remove your $unread conditional, you will see all the messages for $UID.

    To only get unread messages, you may need to use custom sql that starts with the bp_messages_recipients table and queries based on the unread_count field.

    Hi shanebp,

    thanks, that helps. Its a pity, that bp_message_thread_has_unread() only checks for the loggedin user.
    Do you think it would be possible to copy and modify this function in a custom.php ?


    @danbp     and Henry Wright:
    For our project, we want to forward unread messages via JSON API to an external system, which has a central processing and provides these messages to external displays of users – outside WordPress. Therefore, we need a central access to all unread messages of all users.

    I found a solution for the unread problem:
    bp_has_message_threads() has a parameter ‘type’.
    So i added this to my params:
    $aParams ['type'] = 'unread';

    Please use the code button when sharing code.

    Nice solution! $aParams [‘type’] = 'unread';
