My Theme’s functions.php file
I want to be able to edit each of the Link – Let’s say for example I want to Change ‘Reply’ to ‘Respond’ and also add a fontawesome icon with the html i element.
Yes, Its the same one that displays “reply” for Subscribers/Participants
I have been doing that from the start of the whole process of the project, I have all the bbpress templates copied over to my theme directory, I am doing an edit on exactly all the template.
But the bbp_topic_post_date('d M, Y') doesn’t work is the thing.
The Plugin is kind of disturbing my function in the way I have set them up already… And it only works on the Freshness Display, it doesn’t work on the topics and reply post dates.
I want one that can work similarly like the WordPress the_date('d M, Y') to look like bbp_topic_post_date('d M, Y') to dictate the exact date format I want for that function to return. I do not really want plugins, I’m trying to build with little to no plugins at all.
Counting Topic Favorites:
<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$countfav = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
$topicfav_listarray = get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', true) ;
$topicfav_list = explode (',' , $topicfav_listarray) ;
if (in_array ($topic , $topicfav_list)) $countfav++ ;
}
echo $countfav;
?>;
Counting Topic Subscriptions:
<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$countsub = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
$topicsub_listarray = get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', true) ;
$topicsub_list = explode (',' , $topicsub_listarray) ;
if (in_array ($topic , $topicsub_list)) $countsub++ ;
}
echo $countsub;
?>;
Now those are the things that worked.
Thank you, Robin! I hope this helps someone in the future
<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$countsub = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
$topicsub_list = array(get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', false)) ;
if (in_array ($topic , $topicsub_list)) $countsub++ ;
}
echo $countsub;
?>
Now it’s understandable that this also didn’t work on the topic I tested it with, because the user has subscribed to multiple topics.
Oh wow!
<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$countfav = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
$topicfav_listarray = get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', true) ;
$topicfav_list = explode (',' , $topicfav_listarray) ;
if (in_array ($topic , $topicfav_list)) $countsub++ ;
}
echo $countfav;
?>
This worked now Robin! Thank you!
Now I guess if Each User has already one topic in his wp__bbp_favorites the topic stays favorited and counted but No counts is allowed for another topic again.
So the if (in_array ($topic , $topic_list)) $count++ is being a Jealous line i.e: It Only counts a user’s favorite if the user favorites only the currents topics else it doesn’t. because there exists more than one topic inside the $topic_list = array(get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_favorites', false)) ;
What do I do?
My Code was to test it for how many User has favourited a particular topic (Like, check how many likes a post has)…
But I guess like you said, If I understand you very well, I am testing in a scenario where User has only one topic listed in the wp__bbp_favorites meta area…
I think that fact has returned to haunt me now Robin… The picture above shows that the Currently logged in User (Who is a keymaster) has favorited the current topic but, his Favorite doesn’t count, the displayed 1 is for that of the second user who also favorites the same topic and happens to be the only topic he has favorited.
Look at the shot below then:
Now I have added more topics to the user’s wp__bbp_favorites by favouriting more topics but Its not displaying the favourites in those topics.
Another scenario on a different topic here:
Not displaying the number of favorite for the topic.
I added a new user and it was able to successfully favourite and increase the count on one of those topics that didn’t get from the previous two users.
So I think the favorite count only work if a certain user has only one topic inside their wp__bbp_favorites
Here’s the favourite count code again as I have used:
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$count = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
$topic_list = array(get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_favorites', false)) ;
if (in_array ($topic , $topic_list)) $count++ ;
}
echo $count;
What do you suggest I do now Robin? Should I try explode explosion???
That was a hit, Robin!
<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$countsub = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
$topicsub_listarray = get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', true) ;
$topicsub_list = explode (',' , $topicsub_listarray) ;
if (in_array ($topic , $topicsub_list)) $countsub++ ;
}
echo $countsub;
?>
That worked it….. Thank you.
Ok, so I’ve got this result, Robin!
Topic : 65
user_id: 1
array (size=1)
0 => string '149,65' (length=6)
Topic : 65
user_id: 2
array (size=1)
0 => string '145,146,65' (length=10)
0
I believe that should mean that User 1 and User 2 and currently subscribed to the topic But I still get a 0. The Replica of the Favorite should actually work but I don’t know..
<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$countsub = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
$topicsub_list = array(get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', false)) ;
if (in_array ($topic , $topicsub_list)) $countsub++ ;
}
echo $countsub;
?>
It didn’t work that way, Robin!
I got a 0 in the result, even as i was sure there’s a subscription
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$count = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
$topic_list = array(get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_favorites', false)) ;
if (in_array ($topic , $topic_list)) $count++ ;
}
echo $count;
And this one worked Robin! Thank you!
I guess I will be patient for you to test this Robin
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$count = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
$topic_list = get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_favorites', false) ;
if (in_array ($topic , $topic_list)) $count++ ;
}
echo $count;
I am getting the error
Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string given in C:\wamp\www\omna\wp-content\themes\omna2\bbpress\content-single-topic-lead.php on line 134
Thank you once again, Robin
<?php
if ( babblebey_has_topics() ):
while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic();
get_template_part( 'template-parts/topic', 'card' );
endwhile;
endif;
?>
I used it like that
So I will be calling babblebey_has_topics() ?????? Please see as stated below too
<!--Sidebar Start-->
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="sidebar-topics row sticky-top">
<div class="col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-12 ml-2 mb-2 p-1">

</div>
<div class="col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-12">
<?php
if ( babblebey_has_topics() ):
while ( babblebey_topics() ) : babblebey_the_topic();
get_template_part( 'template-parts/topic', 'card' );
endwhile;
endif;
?>
</div>

Thank you Robin, You are the best!
The Post Per Page as its been set up from the “Forum Setting”:
Works as it should, i.e dictate the number of topics to display per Single Forum Page:
But the same setting is inturn affecting my custom loop I have placed on my HomePage Sticky Sidebar to display latest topics:
I want something similar to the ` $args = array(‘posts_per_page’ => 10 //my custom number) as its being used in the normal WP Post Loop like this below:
<?php $args = array(
‘posts_per_page’ => 10 // Like this one here
);
$posts = new WP_Query($args);
if ($posts->have_posts()):
while($posts->have_posts()): $posts->the_post();
get_template_part( ‘template-parts/content’, get_post_format() );
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
`
Thank you very much.
If only the codex https://codex.bbpress.org/developer/ was completed.
Please, I might need the same for if A TOPIC is Favourited and if a TOPIC is Subscribed to
Well just incase other people finds this thread.. My Template Part had bugs too.. Here is the one that worked:
<?php

The bbPress Functions does not want to be assigned to variable as Unlike the GET_ they do not return values, they echo.
Thanks.
