Get count of Followers & clear count after page view

  • Hi

    I’ve seen another thread on this, but it didn’t seem to work for me. I’d like to show the Followers count, I’ve tried the following code but with no luck:

    $user_id = bp_is_user() ? bp_displayed_user_id() : bp_loggedin_user_id();
    $counts = bp_follow_total_follow_counts( array( ‘user_id’ => $user_id ) );
    echo $counts[‘followers’];

    Any idea what is wrong here?

    Is it also possible to reset the counter to zero (and not display the ‘0’ next to Followers), once the user has viewed their list of Followers, in the same way as the Buddypress Messages notification counter gets reset once the messages are read?

    Many thanks

    Not sure why you would want to do that. A follower is not a notification, but, you should be able to do it with custom JS.

    Do you mean something like this?

    Thanks r-a-y, I managed to get the counter working. I’m using your plugin with a dating website, and only want to let someone know when they have new people that are interested in them. Once they have seen who those people are, I’d like the counter reset to zero. The no count span seems like a good idea too, if I understand it correctly, I would use that feature.

    Many thanks.
