bbPress i think will have @mentions in a future release, but for now you can use BuddPress’s own scripts for bbPress using this function.
add it to your child theme functions.php or a functionality plugin
function custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts( $retval = false ) {
if ( function_exists( 'bbpress' ) && is_bbpress() ) {
$retval = true;
}
return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts', 'custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts' );
Hello, thank you for your response. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get this to work. 🙁
@joymoleta
i just tried it and it seemed to work.
did you place the function correctly??
can you currently see the @mentions dropdown in the buddypress activity post-forms.
Hi, my correction. It does work. I’m not sure why it wasn’t before…maybe my cache needed to be cleared. Thank you very much for your help with this.
Your not suppose to cache for logged in users especially on membership sites.
if you do find an exact issue report back.
How can I get this to work on the visual editor? Works fine on text editor.
@jturet
I don’t know , suggest you hire a developer if you really want this functionality.
but by default bbPress and BuddyPress do not use the visual editors so Id say just use the default text editor.
