I have a feature request!

Is it possible to add an option to sort pages/posts displayed in the ‘link to internal posts/pages’ manager list in alphabetical order?

Thank you, TN.

I tried with sort(), asort()…. even mixed in a few functions. Didn’t even consider ORDER BY. The exact change I used was ORDER BY post_title ASC as in,

$page_list = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."posts WHERE post_type='page' && post_status='publish' ORDER BY post_title ASC" );

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

You’re welcome, guys ??

Hey Josh, hiccups happen, you’re doing a great job with this plugin. Thank you.

Thank you!!

Thought you two would like to be kept up to date with the plugin’s development. I wasn’t able to add notifications to the latest release of the plugin. I have it in mind to add the feature to the next/second next release. I’ve posted a little more information under the following thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/enhancement-suggestions

All in all, I’d say the update gets your seal of approval ??

I know what’s happening with the logout button: the logout button redirects the user to the page being viewed at the time of logging out. If the page being viewed is a private page, the page won’t be visible to the logged out user. I should have considered that. Will add a fix but in the meantime you can use the custom URL feature to set the logout page.

One of the reasons I needed a BuddyPress menu in the sidebar was so I could add an ‘Edit Avatar’ button. It’s partly what spurred the plugin’s development along with a need to add BuddyPress links within posts, pages and widgets. The avatar display feature is not fully developed.

The roadmap for the plugin’s future includes:

• Selectable links for the large avatar
• A custom image to display to logged out users in place of the avatar
• Notifications or some other basic information to display to the right of the avatar
• Notifications as link icons

But, I won’t be able to devote time to the plugin for a week or two. If I can get something out this weekend then I will do but I have another plugin to write and a couple of clients to satisfy first.

Let me know of other suggestions and I’ll try and get them into the plugin if I can.

I didn’t see your reply before my update. Sorry. I like the avatar in the pictures.

Have released a new version (2.1.1). The new version displays the logged in user’s avatar and allows the logged in user’s avatar to be used as a menu item icon. Have also added a login link and an option to set non BuddyPress links. Menu visibility options have also been enhanced.

This version is a stepping stone. I rushed it out early so people can get the benefit of the new features while I concentrate on my clients’ projects. The next version might include a login form/log out button option of the type expressed in your designs; depends how much time I can devote to the plugin over the next few weeks.

Thanks Andrés!

Thank you. I have fun writing it.

The bullets are caused by your theme. The correct CSS will likely be ‘list-style-image:none;’ maybe with an !important flag in there as well. Will add an override in the plugin’s next release.

Have been thinking about a login button for the menu. There is one for the BuddyLink shortcode but I opted to not add one to the menu for some reason that currently eludes me. I’ll look into it. Will be a good feature.

With the avatar, do you mean for showing a user’s avatar instead of the button icons?

Thank you. I appreciate it ??

Thank you very much Sunil. I received your donation and very much appreciate it. I shared your website with my Facebook friends. Nice site, by the way ??

Thank you!

Hi!

You need to set a callback URL in the Facebook App to direct people back to a specific page.

You are very welcome. Thank you!

Hi evo252 and ljmac.

Automatically adding BuddyPress links to WordPress custom menus is an awkward task. It can be done but the method can cause unexpected issues such as injected links appearing in all menus instead of just the intended menu(s). Was working on it before I wrote BuddyMenu BuddyLinks. The BMBL widget was the easy option.

There are ways to force WordPress to allow shortcodes in custom menu URLs. I Will investigate the method and see whether I can easily implement it into BMBL. No promises on a timeframe, though.

The BMBL menu can be styled to look like any other menu. Version 2, released today, provides an option to remove the menu icons and to use custom menu icons. Being able to easily remove the icons should make it easier to add additional styling to the menu. Also, version 2 lets you add custom menu links to the widget as well as select the order of the menu items.

As for your second suggestion of listing notification numbers next to menu items, I guess this is possible. Hadn’t thought about it but now you’ve suggested it I will look at implementing notification bubbles in a near-future release.

Thank you very much!
