[Solved] Get list of unread private messages
-
Hello,
I’d like to know if there is a clean way to display the user only unread messages. I want to display on a front page unread messages’ excerpts that will lead to the particular message.
There is a ‘bp_message_thread_has_unread()’ in the loop that gives me nothing, because I want to display 5 last messages that has status of unread.
Any help or hints would be great.
Thanks

Did you look at the codex?
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-private-messages-loop-bp_has_message_threads/Try this to start your loop
``
I’m not sure if ‘type=unread’ is valid.
bp_message_thread_has_unread() returns true or false
So you can use it in your loop to decide whether to proceed.And did YOU look at the codex?
Ofcourse, it was the first thing I did when I discovered the problem. I’ve been heavy googling for one hour after I made this question. At the codex there is info that the olny accepted parameters are:
{user_id, box, per_page, max}. Perhaps “box=notices” would be some point of interest (can’t check now as I’m away from working env) but obviusly there’s nothing like typeAnd about: bp_message_thread_has_unread()
I don’t want to check if the message I get is unread or not, but I need to make this filter on the level of query ( not display ), so I am getting only unread messages, not ‘n’ number of messages from which I am displaying only those that are unread because either way I will not display all of them or I will have to query very big amount.I see the great power of BuddyPress, but I’m pretty new in this system (it’s my second day ) and I’m jumping through files and functions looking for some clue. I could optionaly make it dirty hardcode, but then everyone in my team would push me to the pit of inferno
//EDIT
Anyway: Thanks for interestSee bp_has_message_threads() for type param. It defaults to ‘all’.
You don’t need to dirty hardcode anything – you just need (maybe) to write a custom query and call it from a theme file.
read/unread is stored in wp_bp_messages_recipientsGood luck
@shanebp, you are awesome : )
I just jumped into my ftp, located the function bp_has_message_threads() and trully there is a type param. And… the code you posted on top works like a dream : )
Thanks again.Interesting!
I want to add dropdown list to choose between showing all or unread messages, how could this be applied? I added the following code but nothing happens:

Thanks in advance
HopeApparently there’s no way to copy the code here :S Anyway do you know how to do this?
