Class for number of new messages

[sgr33n]

Hi,

The <span> containing the number of new messages in object-nav (#messages-personal-li) doesn't have a different class for no messages (could also be a different class if there are new messages). In this way you could hide the number for 0 new messages or give a different style if there are new messages.

I can see how this would be useful.

In the meantime, you could set a CSS class with jQuery if you really need to.

I like this idea, it's very similar to post-idnumber and makes sense to me.

Turns out none of the BP profile nav items have classes around the span count, not just Messages.

Created a patch for all menu items (friends,groups,messages,notifications). I added a small change that all counts are now using number_format_i18n() for styling the number if needed. Also bp-messages-loader.php is now synced to look the same as the others.

In 7758:

Navigation: add CSS classes for BP nav bar item counts

Allows themes to show/hide the bubble depending on if there is a count to display.

Fixes #5169, props markoheijnen

I'd like to try to keep markup out of our gettext calls. Thoughts on inverting this so the spans are passed through the sprintf(), rather than through the __()?
