+1 for me.
I installed “bbPress Topics for Posts” (plugin link).
I wanted to create one forum that collects comments on articles (this plugin does that very well – only downside is that comments made in the forum do not count as comments but are visible).
Anyhow; I want users to be able to reply, but NOT create new topics.
Right now it’s either no new topics and no new replies, OR new topics and new replies.
Of course I could modify the forum.php and remove the
For some reason my code didn’t stick; I mean remove:
bb_new_topic_link();
It looks like there is a filter you might be able to use to create a plugin
function bbp_get_topic_caps() {
return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_topic_caps', array (
'edit_posts' => 'edit_topics',
'edit_others_posts' => 'edit_others_topics',
'publish_posts' => 'publish_topics',
'read_private_posts' => 'read_private_topics',
'read_hidden_posts' => 'read_hidden_topics',
'delete_posts' => 'delete_topics',
'delete_others_posts' => 'delete_others_topics'
) );
}
I always presumed ‘closed’ meant no new topics, but still allowed replies until this morning! I would love to have a workaround for this, as currently my members can’t enter my competition topics.
Is playing with function bbp_get_topic_caps() the best way to go? I would be satisfied in replacing all ‘closed’ forums with the ability to still reply.
Yes…this: I want users to be able to reply, but NOT create new topics. Right now it’s either no new topics and no new replies, OR new topics and new replies.
Did anyone find a solution for this?
@rachelvt
this idea in a forum is kind of weird
i would just create a category in your blog , and use wordpress comments instead.
its just my opinion though.
