   Neat idea xtint - I like it. I'm not a bbPress hotshot by any means, and am also busy with my own forum set-up, but I'll keep tabs on this one. There are some superb coders in the forum, and I'm sure you'll get some pointers soon enough.

   Thanks Michael3185.nways one of the things i need right now is the filter that pulls the post's content like this one for the topic
   topic_title.

   Cheers

   Can you give me the current source of the plugin you have made?
   You can get the post text (of the first post of the topic) by:
   
global $bbdb;
$topic_id_ft = get_topic_id(); //topic id for getting text of first post of the topic
$first_post = (int) $bbdb->get_var("SELECT post_id FROM $bbdb->posts WHERE topic_id = $topic_id_ft ORDER BY post_id ASC LIMIT 1");
$content = urlencode(substr(strip_tags(strip_shortcodes(get_post_text($first_post))),0,300));
$content = str_replace('+','%20', $content);
$content = str_replace("’","'", $content);
$post_summary = stripslashes($content);

   Gautam that is the source.i adopted it from Thomas Klaiber post notification plugin.Klaiber plugin sends one email notification on topics in their favourites only without the contents.so i need to figure out how to reply to a post through email.
   <?php
   function notification_new_post()
   {
   global $bbdb, $bb_table_prefix, $topic_id,$bb_current_user,$post_id;
   $all_users = notification_select_all_users();
   foreach ($all_users as $userdata) :
   $topic = get_topic($topic_id);
   $posts = get_thread($topic_id, 1, 1);
   $posts = array_reverse($posts);
   $last = array_pop($posts);
   $last_text = strip_tags($last->post_text);
   $message = __("There is a new post on the forum\n\nTopic title: %1\$s \nPosted by: %2\$s\n\n Url:%3\$s \n\n Contents \n\n %4\$s");
   mail( $userdata->user_email, bb_get_option('name') . ':' . __('Notification'),
   sprintf( $message, $topic->topic_title,get_user_name($bb_current_user->ID),get_topic_link($topic_id),$last_text),
   'From: ' . bb_get_option('admin_email') );
   endforeach;
   }
   add_action('bb_new_post', 'notification_new_post');
   function notification_select_all_users()
   {
   global $bbdb;
   $all_users = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT ID, user_email FROM $bbdb->users WHERE user_status=0");
   return $all_users;
   }a
   ?>
