bbPress.org

I am trying to make a single page where users can choose to subscribe or unsubscribe to their forums (see https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/manage-subscriptions/). I’m pretty new to php/java, so please excuse me if this is obvious.

Basically, I have 3 forums (79, 80, 81). I have a button for each forum. When the user clicks a button, I use AJAX to run a php script. The php script is used to either subscribe or unsubscribe the user depending on whether they are already subscribed or not.

My problem is that when a user is subscribed, I’m not able to remove their subscription, and vice versa. When I click a subscribe button, the php code executes, it is able to determine if the user is subscribed, and the if statement executes properly. My problem is that bbp_add_user_subscription and bbp_remove_user_subscription return false every time.

Any help is greatly appreciated. The PHP and java script are below.

<?php
if (isset($_POST[‘action’])) {
$forum = $_POST[‘action’];
$forumint = 0 + $forum;
$subs=bbp_is_user_subscribed_to_forum($user_id,$forum);
if($subs==false) {
//if user not subscribed, then subscribe
$add=bbp_add_user_subscription($user_id,$forumint);
}
else {
$rmv=bbp_remove_user_subscription($user_id,$forumint);
//do_action(‘bbp_remove_user_subscription’, $user_id, $forumint)
}
echo ‘forum ‘;
var_dump ($forum);
echo ‘subscribed ‘;
var_dump ($subs);
echo ‘add ‘;
var_dump ($add);
echo ‘remove ‘;
var_dump ($rmv);
echo ‘foruminteger ‘;
var_dump ($forumint);
exit;
}
?>
<?php

<!– initiate all buttons –>
<button id=”790″ class=”button” onclick=”Subscriber(‘790’)”>Subscribe</button><br><br>
<button id=”800″ class=”button” onclick=”Subscriber(‘800’)”>Subscribe</button><br><br>
<button id=”810″ class=”button” onclick=”Subscriber(‘810’)”>Subscribe</button><br><br>

<!– change button text on load based on user subscription –>

<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
$( “.button” ).click(function() {
var ForumID = $(this).attr(“id”)/10;
$.ajax({
//url: ”, // url is empty because I’m working in the same file
data: {‘action’: ForumID},
type: ‘post’,
success: function(result) {
alert(“action performed successfully”); //this alert is fired
$(‘div#result’).text(‘Button clicked: ‘ + result);
}
});
});
});
</script>
