Buddypress Compatible?

Hi @kylenedas2 ,

Currently, there are no additional options for BuddyPress, but it’s possible to add it to your site with custom code.

Yeah I added it with custom code. The only issue now is that it doesn’t have live notifications since it’s only a nav bar with an icon. I currently have a set up for Home, Notifications, Messages, and My Profile.

Users have to click each one periodically to see if they got a notification.
Are there any plans or is it possible to link the icons with live notifications?

Would I have to custom code this?

The buddypress fix is I got is messages/me link to messages to user profile, same with my profile, notifications, etc.

Yes, it’s possible with custom code. You can get notification count value with ajax and append any menu item with JS.

Here’s basic example:
Ajax:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  function updateNotificationCount() {
    $.ajax({
      url: ajaxurl,
      type: 'POST',
      data: {
        action: 'bp_notification_count'
      },
      success: function(response) {
        if (response.success) {
          $('.notification-count').text(response.count);
        }
      }
    });
  }
  setInterval(updateNotificationCount, 60000);
});

Function:

 add_action( 'wp_ajax_bp_notification_count', function(){
wp_send_json(['success' => true, 'count'=> bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count(bp_loggedin_user_id())])
} );

Don’t forget. This is just an simple example.

How do I add this? I only need it for notifications and messages. If I can have the notification appear to the right of the icon not the left though.

I go into Plugins> Customize> JS
Or?

Figured it out thanks!
