not sure what that means – render a screen with the form? or create a worpdress page ?

perhaps you could describe what you want to achieve from what and to what.

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 5

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

suspect it might have been another plugin that was dependant on it, but anyway glad you are fixed.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

oops semi colon missing from $image = line

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>
<?php 
$image_id = get_user_meta (bbp_get_reply_author_id(),  'profile-picture' , true) ;
$image = get_post_meta ($image_id, _wp_attached_file, true) ;
echo '<li>herestart'.$image.'hereend</li>' ;
?>

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

ok, so we are making progress.

I don’t expect this to work, just to return the next stage

so amend that to

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>
<?php 
$image_id = get_user_meta (bbp_get_reply_author_id(),  'profile-picture' , true) ;
$image = get_post_meta ($image_id, _wp_attached_file, true)
echo '<li>herestart'.$image.'hereend</li>' ;
?>

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

that’s fine, I wanted to see what was in the database ie in this case 1345, I suspect it is a reference to a media image

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

ok, can you change the other one to

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>
<?php 
$avatar = get_user_meta (bbp_get_reply_author_id(),  'profile-picture' , true) ;
echo '<li>herestart'.$avatar.'hereend</li>' ;
?>

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

try

<?php 
$neighborhood = get_user_meta (bbp_get_reply_author_id(),  'user-subdivision' , true) ;
echo '<li>'.$neighborhood.'</li>' ;
?>

come back if that doesn’t work

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

oops sorry, I’ll correct that

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

hmm…just loaded Asgaros to my test site, and it has it’s own tables

wp_forum_forums
wp_forum_topics
wp_forum_posts

as well as several others dealing with subscriptions, polls and ads.

the issue with importing would be hooking forum_topics which holds header stuff with forum posts which holds the content, but also the replies.

What size is your current Asgaros forum – eg forums, topics replies?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

for the avatar, I need to know what is stored in the usermeta, so can you try adding this after line 44

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>

to get

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>
<?php 
$avatar = get_user_meta (get_current_user_id(),  'profile-picture' , true) ;
echo '<li>'.$avatar.'</li>' ;
?>

I need to see if this produces a url or link to media item etc.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

ok replace the

<?php echo 'hello' ; ?>

with

<?php 
$neighborhood = get_user_meta (get_current_user_id(),  'user-subdivision' , true) ;
echo '<li>'.$neighborhood.'</li>' ;
?>

and let’s see if that does that one first

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

but yes the answer is just a case of filling in the form, in the same sense as completing a crossword is just a case of writing the answers in the squares 🙂 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

no idea how asgaros stores the data in the database – is it separate tables or in posts/postmeta?
and different tables for forums vs topics vs replies ?
and does it use wordpress user ID’s?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

@scifikriss I see you have asked this many months ago.

The problem is that developing a script is a long tedious process requiring running the process many times, and having to reset databases in between. When I first started with bbpress in 2013 I imported a snitz database and it took 24 attempts over 2 weeks to succeed. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/documented-import-from-snitz-access-database/

If you’d like me to look at what might be involved as a paid piece of work, contact me via

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

you can amend the topic and reply form templates and put those as hidden fields

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

either

Reply Subscribed

or

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form item 6

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

so we need to work out which theme template is rendering the forum pages

looking at the page you gave me, I see that the template has a div of

<div id="content-area" class="clearfix">

This is probably a common div to several files, but we can use it’s presence to track down the file

so you need to look in your theme (wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%) for likely files

If you have notepad++ (or another text editor that will do this) you can download your theme to your computer and do a search across all the files.

otherwise you might have files called page.php, single.php, content.php, content-page.php etc.

in each file where you find the <div id="content-area" then add a further class, but call each one something different

eg

<div id="content-area myclass1" class="clearfix">
<div id="content-area myclass2" class="clearfix">
etc.

then use the browser inspector and hopefully you’ll find the class repeated in there which will tell you what template it is using

then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

great, so now I need to know the names of the fields you want in the database

so I need to construct a bit of code that looks like

$neighborhood = get_user_meta ($user_id, ‘%what_the_field_is_called%’ , true) ;

so I need %what_the_field_is_called% for both field 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

ok, so do you have a link to a forum page I can look at?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

great – glad you are fixed !!

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

bbpress will render pages using a .php file – this can be one of many in your theme.

It is this file that you will need to edit and put in a child theme to get what you want.

so how familiar with files, FTP and code are you ?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

before line 56 which says

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details' ); ?>

add the following

<?php echo 'hello' ; ?>

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

You should now see ‘hello’ where you want the neighborhood field

If you get this far, then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

ok, try this

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_text', 20, 3 );

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	if ( $text == 'Subscribe' ) {
	$translated_text = 'Watch';
	}
	if ( $text == 'Unsubscribe' ) {
	$translated_text = 'Unwatch';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 4 months ago]

untested, but this should work

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_subscribe_link_parse_args' , 'change_subscribe') ;

function change_subscribe ($args) {
	$args['subscribe'] = 'Watch' ;
	$args['unsubscribe'] = 'Unwatch' ;
return $args ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use
