   Hi,
   Is there a way of getting a user's favorites to display without on a forum page other than /profile/#/favorite ?
   I've looked at the code but I don't want to dig too deeply into it as I'm sure it will change a lot during the next year.
   Basically what I want to do is create a unified profile page, which has been possible with everything except favorites.
   See http://www.surrealroad.com/forum/1 if this doesn't make sense

   Looking in "favourites.php", right in the root of BBpress (so its not hidden), i found this:

   $topics = get_user_favorites( $user->ID, true );

   I'd use that and output the array, but then again, i'd not have bumped 2 different 2 year old threads, let alone doing it before looking in the file cunningly named Favourites.php ;-)

   Two ways:

   1) It's an array, so just cycle through it and output the bits you want, this will allow you to style it as you please. If you're unsure of what it returns use: print_r($topics);

   2) Alternatively, you could just copy all 3 lines from the Favourites.php file:

   $topics = get_user_favorites( $user->ID, true );
   $favorites_total = isset($user->favorites) ? count(explode(',', $user->favorites)) : 0;
   bb_load_template( 'favorites.php', array('favorites_total') );

   This will output the favourites in the way you've described in your template folder.

   ==========================================

   At the end of the day, BBpress has a number of issues, but if it can already do something, all you really need to do is copy and paste the code :)

   Sorry, a bit of a PHP Noob, if I insert the following code in my template:

   $topics = get_user_favorites( $user->ID, true );
   $favorites_total = isset($user->favorites) ? count(explode(',', $user->favorites)) : 0;
   bb_load_template( 'favorites.php', array('favorites_total') );

   I get an error

   Was that snippet of code wrapped in <?php tags ?>?

   <?php
   	$topics = get_user_favorites( $user->ID, true );
   	$favorites_total = isset($user->favorites) ? count(explode(',', $user->favorites)) : 0;
   	bb_load_template( 'favorites.php', array('favorites_total') );
   ?>

    The entire website?
    So it's going in an infinte loop?

    Please, be less specific, don't post any code, oooh and don't include a screenshot. Guessing is a really worth while use of my time :)
