When you get this fixed up, create a new entry with a title like "Plugin: Topic Reply Titles" or something like that so that people know where to find it and maybe think about going over to the 'Extend" tab and adding it to the plugin repository!</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/titles-for-topic-replies#post-5380 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 13:30:24 +0000 louisedade 5380@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Oops, I'm a plonker - I forgot to include the ability to edit the title in 'Edit Post' .

The plugin is available for download from my website:<br /> <a href="http://www.classical-webdesigns.co.uk/articles/36_bbpress-plugin-add-titles-to-replies.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.classical-webdesigns.co.uk/articles/36_bbpress-plugin-add-titles-to-replies.html</a></p> <p>Comments and suggestions are welcome.</p> <p>One other thing, re:</p> <blockquote><p> "Preview sounds good - but better yet would be an AJAX thing that means you don't even have to reload the page when you post. :D" </p></blockquote> <p>That's what I meant by using the DOM. In fact there would be no need for AJAX even - by using the javascript DOM you can 'preview in place' the post you are currently working on. If users do not have javascript enabled, then graceful degradation would mean that a button to view the preview on a separate page would be visible. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/titles-for-topic-replies#post-5263 Wed, 07 Mar 2007 16:26:44 +0000 fel64 5263@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Judging by the wordpress system (the documentation is quite good), 10 is default priority and plugins are executed in order of descending priority (so a plugin of 1 comes before 2). In WP the last two arguments are optional.</p> <p>Preview sounds good - but better yet would be an AJAX thing that means you don't even have to reload the page when you post. :D </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/titles-for-topic-replies#post-5252 Wed, 07 Mar 2007 10:59:39 +0000 louisedade 5252@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Ahhh, pieces fall into place! I'm using the 'path-to-url' fix plugin and see that it uses the following filter to replace the ' bb_path_to_url' function:</p> <p>add_filter( 'bb_path_to_url', 'fix_bb_path_to_url', 1, -1 );</p> <p>So that is the syntax I'm looking for (obviously replacing the functions I need).</p> <p>Looking at the 'add_filter' function, I can work out that '1' sets the priority and '-1' is a boolean flag indicating whether the new function accepts arguments.</p> <p>Would I be right in saying that by setting the new function to a priority of '1' means it overwrites the old function?</p> <p>If so, then does setting it with a lower priority (e.g. '2') makes it run <em>after</em> the old function and before any other functions, as if extending the function?</p> <p>Just had to edit this post, which gives me another idea: a 'Preview' button! Maybe 'preview in place' using the DOM, like some WP comments sections. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/titles-for-topic-replies#post-5225 Tue, 06 Mar 2007 21:38:23 +0000 fel64 5225@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Err ... probably! In Wordpress you have both hooks and filters, where hooks are there to add actions and filters to change the data going to and leaving the database (like your post - adding stuff to links etc), but they're almost identical. Never used this in bbPress. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/titles-for-topic-replies#post-5161 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 17:55:02 +0000 macwise 5161@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>fel64, </p> <p>When you mention the "Hooks", are you referring to the lines at the bottom that say "add_filter"? I think this is what you mean, but I thought I'd make sure. It's time to try out my first plugin! :) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/titles-for-topic-replies#post-5157 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 17:01:11 +0000 fel64 5157@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>You should use hooks to make it automatically call your function when that hook is called - the syntax is <em>something like</em> <code>add_action(&#39;hook name&#39;, &#39;function name&#39;)</code> if I recall correctly. Look at existing plugins for details of how to do it.</p> <p>There isn't a reference for hooks that I'm aware of, sorry. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/titles-for-topic-replies#post-5155 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 10:57:08 +0000 louisedade 5155@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Well, I got it working, but it uses a hack rather than a plugin. It wasn't too hard, I guess I could document the hack until such time as I work out how to make it a plugin.</p> <p>The thing I don't quite 'get' yet (not having made a plugin for either WordPress or bbPress before) is how to modify the behaviour of an existing function. If I write my own version of a function, will it overwrite the existing function? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/titles-for-topic-replies#post-5140 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 15:34:04 +0000 Trent 5140@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It would be great if you could create a plugin for it and then mdawaffe can look at it and decide if it is something needed for the core. That way, if it isn't, you will have it and there are many users that would most likely love to see this as well!</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/titles-for-topic-replies#post-5130 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 11:49:59 +0000 louisedade 5130@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Is it possible to have a 'title' field for replies to topics? My forum users are used to crafting clever titles in their replies.</p> <p>I could probably make it a plugin, but it would mean changing the database - unless there is an easier way? </p>
