Notification Management
-
Has anyone worked out a way to mass manage the notification listing in your profile? Deleting them one at a time is a pain. I know the ‘Bp Clear Notifications’ plug adds a link in the admin bar to clear them all so maybe I’ll look at hacking that. But just wondering if anyone else has seen something around.

I’m using a mark all as read button but it’s customised for my site markup so might not play well elsewhere. What part are you stuck with?
I haven’t started so I’m not stuck yet. I think I’m going to code in a check box for each notification like you have done, and also a filter to only display certain notifications.
Along with this, I’ll try to add a section to the profile settings that will allow a member to pick what they get notified on, similar to the way you can choose email notifications.
I was just seeing if anyone has tackled this before I set out to do it. I would appreciate seeing your code if you want to post it.
thanks!
That sounds like a better approach than mine. I just have a rather crude looking button which marks as read all unread notifications.
bp_notifications_mark_notifications_by_typeis the function I’m using to do the marking. For example:if ( bp_is_active( 'notifications' ) ) { bp_notifications_mark_notifications_by_type( bp_loggedin_user_id(), buddypress()->messages->id, 'new_message' ); bp_notifications_mark_notifications_by_type( bp_loggedin_user_id(), buddypress()->activity->id, 'new_at_mention' ); }Not sure when I’ll start this (soon), but I’ll report back with details on what I come up with. Thanks for the code.
I’ve been playing around with the filtering aspect. Turns out Buddypress has a filter built in, so all you need to do is add a form (dropdown) to use it. I haven’t fully tested this but seems to work. I need a way to determine all possible notification component names and actions so it will autopopulate the dropdown when new plugins use notifications.
I copied /plugins/buddypress/bp-template/members/single/notifications.php to my child theme and added the following right below the bp_notifications_sort_order_form call
<li id="members-filter-select" class="last filter"> <?php qd_notifications_filter_form(); ?> </li>Then in my functions.php file, I added the dropdown code (I basically stole this from the code that generates the sort by date dropdown.
function qd_notifications_filter_form() { // Setup local variables // Need to figure out a way to autopopulate this array $searchterms = array( 'new_at_mention', 'bbp_new_reply','new_message','friendship_accepted','friendship_request','group_invite','localgroupnotifier','ac_notifier' ); $selected = ''; // Check for a custom sort_order if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) ) { if ( in_array( $_REQUEST['s'], $searchterms ) ) { $selected = $_REQUEST['s']; } } ?> <form action="" method="get" id="notifications-filter"> <label for="notifications-filter-list"><?php esc_html_e( 'Filter By:', 'buddypress' ); ?></label> // need to loop through this instead of hardcoding the options. <select id="notifications-filter-list" name="s" onchange="this.form.submit();"> <option value="" <?php selected( $selected, '' ); ?>><?php _e( 'All', 'buddypress' ); ?></option> <option value="new_at_mention" <?php selected( $selected, 'new_at_mention' ); ?>><?php _e( 'Mentions', 'buddypress' ); ?></option> <option value="bbp_new_reply" <?php selected( $selected, 'bbp_new_reply' ); ?>><?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ); ?></option> <option value="new_message" <?php selected( $selected, 'new_message' ); ?>><?php _e( 'Messages', 'buddypress' ); ?></option> <option value="ac_notifier" <?php selected( $selected, 'ac_notifier' ); ?>><?php _e( 'Activity', 'buddypress' ); ?></option> <option value="localgroupnotifier" <?php selected( $selected, 'localgroupnotifier' ); ?>><?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ); ?></option> <option value="friendship_accepted" <?php selected( $selected, 'friendship_accepted' ); ?>><?php _e( 'Friend Accepts', 'buddypress' ); ?></option> <option value="friendship_request" <?php selected( $selected, 'friendship_request' ); ?>><?php _e( 'Friend Requests', 'buddypress' ); ?></option> </select> <noscript> <input id="submit" type="submit" name="form-submit" class="submit" value="<?php _e( 'Go', 'buddypress' ); ?>" /> </noscript> </form> <?php }I found bp_notifications_get_registered_components() which will bring back an array “of component names that are currently active and have registered Notifications callbacks”.
Updated code
function qd_notifications_filter_form() { // Setup local variables $components = bp_notifications_get_registered_components(); $selected = ''; // Check for a filter if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) ) { if ( in_array( $_REQUEST['s'], $components ) ) { $selected = $_REQUEST['s']; } } ?> <form action="" method="get" id="notifications-filter"> <label for="notifications-filter-list"><?php esc_html_e( 'Filter By:', 'buddypress' ); ?></label> <select id="notifications-filter-list" name="s" onchange="this.form.submit();"> <option value="" <?php selected( $selected, '' ); ?>><?php _e( 'All', 'buddypress' ); ?></option> <?php foreach ($components as $component) { ?> <option value="<?php echo $component; ?>" <?php selected( $selected, $component ); ?>><?php _e( $component, 'buddypress' ); ?></option> <?php } ?> </select> <noscript> <input id="submit" type="submit" name="form-submit" class="submit" value="<?php _e( 'Go', 'buddypress' ); ?>" /> </noscript> </form> <?php }Still not perfect, but better.
