@robin-w no, I’m able to hide that component just fine, but I’m trying to insert a text placeholder within the input field of the form itself.
@robkk I’ve seen it in multiple forums, but most recently I saw it being used (again on) http://www.highexistence.com/topic/philosophical-movies-i-want-them/
Yeah, it’s not necessary, but I’d like to hide the “Reply To: ….” label above this field so clean up the look of it, and just wanted to be able to have the text “Reply” as a placeholder in this field to prompt the user.
I just can’t for the life of me find the reference to this field in form-reply.php. I’m able to see where I could add the placeholder for the form when editing a reply, but not in the standard reply form.
I was able to accomplish this by inserting the following code
<?php $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
} ?>
beneath the line
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details' ); ?>
in loop-single-reply.php
Unfortunately, nothing at all. :/
@robkk still haven’t been able to make any progress on this. Any luck on your end?
If you figure it out in the future before me i would like you to update this topic.
Will do! Will be looking at this more tonight.
@robkk You rule, thanks for the help! Here’s a site I’m just using to mess around with these customizations on: http://revyved.com/forums/topic/just-stumbled-on-this/
I was able to successfully move the reply form to beneath the first post in each topic, thanks to your suggestion to enable show lead topic, as well as moving the line of code in content-single-topic.
However, even after enabling threaded replies, I’m still unable to achieve the same result with the nested reply. When I click “reply” in the top corner of the 4th post down, for example, it just scrolls to the initial reply form beneath the first post, instead of opening up a new reply form beneath the 4th post.
works perfectly, thanks @robkk!
Any luck finding out how this reply feature is accomplished?
I also would love to know how to (also seen on High Existence) implement the “reply” option on the top right of each post within the topic, which when clicked accordions out the reply form directly beneath that post.
Do you know how I would go about hiding the “Create New Topic” form at the bottom of the page, now that I’ve made the link at the top to go to the “New Topic” standalone page?
I thought of setting using display:none; for .bbp-form, but wouldn’t that hide all instances of that?
Thanks for the help! As I mentioned earlier, I was just having a complete newbie moment with regards to assigning a class to the link. I had all the css styling pointing toward a class, but didn’t assign a class to the link, so was getting nowhere. Got it all fixed now, thanks!
well i know for sure they used the show lead topic on their site. but i dont feel like going into templates right now and fooling around with it just yet. So i will do this later today.
Thanks, I wasn’t even away of the Show Lead Topic function, so I’ll be looking more into this as well.
Thank you. I should have clarified, I was able to place the HTML link above <li class=”bbp-header”>, but I wasn’t sure as to how I would have this link appear as a button instead of just the link as text, and how to associate that button with the CSS selector a.bbp-new-topic-button
Thank you, but what would the actual line of code that should be entered there look like? Again, I apologize for the basic question, and I truly appreciate your help! 🙂
Thank you SO much robkk.
At the risk of sounding like a complete newbie (which I definitely am), I’m getting stuck at placing the link in loop-forums.php. What would that line of code look like, using the sample New Topic URL?
Hey Robkk, thanks for the reply.
1. http://www.highexistence.com/ should be an example of a great looking bbpress site
https://bbpress.org/about/examples/
Totally agree. It’s a beautifully designed site.
2. i want that Hethens Voting plugin that site has .
I’ve been looking for it, so if you find it, please let me know!
3. the reply form below topic post could be there because they are showing the lead topic, and then inserting the reply form after that. not sure i will look at it though.
Again, please let me know if you figure this out! I appreciate it!
