*** Shamelessly bumps the thread and waves his hands in the hope that someone can help ***

Surely somebody knows the answer to this? This question has been asked countless times on this board and yet nobody responds. Having spent a bit of time on these boards I know that some of you guys are proper gurus with this stuff; please help us that are less versed in solving this problem.

@josemv you are an absolute star mate, thank you very much that is exactly what I was after.

@acaps2007 here you go mate, as requested I have copied a few of the ones that I have put onto my site, should let you get the idea if used in conjunction with the link that josemv provided.

<li class="page_item current_page_item"><a href="">Profile</a></li>
<li class="page_item current_page_item"><a href="messages/inbox">Inbox</a></li>
<li class="page_item current_page_item"><a href="album">Portfolio</a></li>

That would be a very nice addition to what I have done now. I now have the links I wanted from the Admin bar within the Navbar of my template – one of which is Inbox – and it would be nice if I could display the number of unread messages next to the “Inbox” menu text in the nav bar.

Any thoughts?

@ScottWatson
the post linked below says how to display the number of unread messages.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-moverelocate-the-links-in-the-admin-bars-my-account-individuallyseparately-to-the-sidebar/

But I would prefer the idea @acaps2007 has proposed, that’s the “notification” item and the mouse over effect, since in a buddypress community, we would have
1. private messages
2. friend requests
3. group requests
4. group invites
5. mentions

Although the last one is not included in the default bp notification count, combining the previous four in one place would still help a lot.

That’s a good fix, but unfortunately my theme doesn’t display an admin bar at all. That’s why I need to re-create certain things, like notifications…

@acaps2007
What I’ve found finally:

(It’s based on this article:
http://easyoutsource.com/blog/how-to-code-a-custom-adminbar-in-buddypress/)

So if you just set your adminbar to be hidden in css rather than completely disable it in the wp-config.php, you could use to call the notification menu.

If you’ve completely disabled adminbar, then use the following code instead(it’s copied from bp-core-adminbar.php):

<?php
global $bp;

if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
return false;

echo '<li id="bp-adminbar-notifications-menu"><a>loggedin_user->domain . '">';
_e( 'Notifications', 'buddypress' );

if ( $notifications = bp_core_get_notifications_for_user( $bp->loggedin_user->id ) ) { ?>
<span></span>
<?php
}

echo '</a>';
echo '<ul>';

if ( $notifications ) {
$counter = 0;
for ( $i = 0; $i < count($notifications); $i++ ) {
$alt = ( 0 == $counter % 2 ) ? ' class="alt"' : ''; ?>

<li></li>

<?php $counter++;
}
} else { ?>

<li><a href=&quot;loggedin_user->domain ?>"></a></li>

<?php
}

echo '</ul>';
echo '</li>';
?>

And as I have found out, the js effect (what you called the “mouse over” effect) is dealt automatically by bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js

In my case, I’m building a child theme of bp-default, so I don’t have to worry about js, just copy and paste css codes from bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css and adjust selectors accordingly.

If you are not building a child theme of bp-default, then maybe you can try search in the global.js and make some copy and past.

Good luck !
