BuddyPress.org

Hello everyone, I am current working on two different plugins, they both put icons into the admin bar and when you click them they show you your messages and friends request.

They work perfecetly as long as I am on someone’s buddypress profile, if I am just on the homepage of my site, its like the components it needs to check for new messages dont load and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the components to load on every page.

I’ve noticed other plugins are doing direct mysql queries to the buddypress tables instead of using the built in buddy press functions, is that the only way top access buddypress content site wide?

Thanks for your help!
