hmmm…ok bbpress can have issues on local sites, which is what I hoped then above would clear.

so ‘Viewing the default pages and ‘Hello World’ post is OK though, if any help. ‘ is that same as before, or is helped by the above and was wrong before?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

ok, they’ve done it by a function by the look of it.

so try this

add_action ('bbp_theme_before_topic_started_by' , 'rew_reply_author' , 10 ) ;

function rew_reply_author () {
	$reply_id = bbp_get_topic_last_reply_id () ;
	echo '<span class="bbp-reply-author">'.bbp_get_reply_author_link( array( 'post_id' => $reply_id, 'type' => 'both', 'size' => 14 ) ) ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

then come back and let me know where this appears, we might need to adjust

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

just overwrite your code with the above – that code works

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

I just amended the above, so try it again in case you loaded the wrong version !

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_content', 'rew_additional_field' );
function rew_additional_field($post){
	?>
	<select name="rew_additional_field" id="rew_additional_field">
		<option value="enqury">Enquiry</option>
		<option value="complaint">Complaint</option>
		<option value="feedback">Feedback</option>
	</select>
	
	
	<select name="rew_additional_field_2" id="rew_additional_field_2">
		<option value="enqury2">Enquiry2</option>
		<option value="complaint2">Complaint2</option>
		<option value="feedback2">Feedback2</option>
	</select>
	<?php
}
 

add_action('bbp_new_reply_post_extras', 'rew_save_additional_field');

function rew_save_additional_field($reply_id){ 
    global $post;
    if(isset($_POST["rew_additional_field"])) {
        update_post_meta ($reply_id, 'rew_additional_field', $_POST["rew_additional_field"]) ;
	}
    if(isset($_POST["rew_additional_field_2"])) {
        update_post_meta ($reply_id, 'rew_additional_field_2', $_POST["rew_additional_field_2"]) ;
	}
}

add_action('bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'rew_show_additional_field');

function rew_show_additional_field () {
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id();
	$field = get_post_meta($reply_id, 'rew_additional_field', true);
	if (!empty ($field)) {
		echo "Type: ". ucfirst($field)."<br>"; 
	}	
	$field_2 = get_post_meta($reply_id, 'rew_additional_field_2', true);
	if (!empty ($field_2)) {
		echo "Type: ". ucfirst($field_2)."<br>";  
	}
}

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

so does that not work ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

ok, painting bedroom windows so I’ll come back later with a response 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

so have you added Reply To: Topic name to the template ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

easier to start again

this works

add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_content', 'rew_additional_field' );
function rew_additional_field($post){
	?>
	<select name="rew_additional_field" id="rew_additional_field">
		<option value="enqury">Enquiry</option>
		<option value="complaint">Complaint</option>
		<option value="feedback">Feedback</option>
	</select>
	<?php
}
 

add_action('bbp_new_reply_post_extras', 'rew_save_additional_field');

function rew_save_additional_field($reply_id){ 
    global $post;
    if(isset($_POST["rew_additional_field"])) {
        update_post_meta ($reply_id, 'rew_additional_field', $_POST["rew_additional_field"]) ;
	}
}

add_action('bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'rew_show_additional_field');

function rew_show_additional_field () {
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id();
  $field = get_post_meta($reply_id, 'rew_additional_field', true);
  if (!empty ($field)) {
	echo "Type: ". ucfirst($field)."<br>";  
  }
}

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

quickest way is

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

function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
	if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
     $words = array(
                        
                        'Website' => 'WhatsApp no'
             );
     $translated = str_replace(  array_keys($words),  $words,  $translated );
	}

     return $translated;
}

ok, so the threads above have one poster asking about having this as a single forum, and another about not having ‘no forum’

what are you wishing to achieve?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

refresh my memory, when does this come up ?

I don’t see a default form in my forums list

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

ok, I’ve ONLY edited this to correct syntax, but try it and then come back

add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_content', 'so_additional_content' );
function so_additional_content($post){
	$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id();
    $meta_element_class = get_post_meta($reply_id, 'custom_element_grid_class_meta_box', true); //true ensures you get just one value instead of an array
     echo '<label>Choose the size of the element :  </label>' ;
	?> 
    <select name="custom_element_grid_class" id="custom_element_grid_class">
      <option value="normal" <?php selected( $meta_element_class, 'normal' ); ?>>normal</option>
      <option value="square" <?php selected( $meta_element_class, 'square' ); ?>>square</option>
      <option value="wide" <?php selected( $meta_element_class, 'wide' ); ?>>wide</option>
      <option value="tall" <?php selected( $meta_element_class, 'tall' ); ?>>tall</option>
    </select>'
    <?php
}
 

 
add_action('bbp_new_reply_post_extras', 'so_save_metabox');

function so_save_metabox(){ 
    global $post;
    if(isset($_POST["custom_element_grid_class"])) {
         //check the capability: if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post->ID ))  return $post->ID;
        $meta_element_class = $_POST['custom_element_grid_class'];
        //END OF UPDATE

        update_post_meta($reply_id, 'custom_element_grid_class_meta_box', $meta_element_class);
        //print_r($_POST);
		
    }
}

add_action('bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'so_show_metabox');

function so_show_metabox() {
  $meta_element_class = get_post_meta($reply_id, 'custom_element_grid_class_meta_box', true);
  // the problem is "Field 1" appear in every reply post
  echo "Field 1: ". $meta_element_class."<br>";  
}

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

great

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

ok, then suggest you do that 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

unless you are running a very highly spec’d server and your users can’t wait another nano second, I would not worry about only loading on bbpress pages.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

none of it ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

that only matters if you are doing it for say a theme. there probably is another way, but that is WordPress not bbpress, so if you want to pursue, try the main WordPress forums.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

1. Download the plugin from this url :

Fix forum

Then upload to your site and activate

3. Create a page called anything and put this shortcode in it
[fix-topics]
and publish

4. Go to this page and you will see a drop down, use the drop down to select ‘run’ and click submit

That should do it

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

Great – I do have a plugin that will do that, but if you are happy to do that manually then fine.

Are replies all ok ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

not that I can see easily

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

ok, so final test, and then I’ll be happy I know what needs doing (one we did earlier)

go into
dashboard>topics> and select one topic to edit, and just hit update.
DON’T set the forum.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

I’d suggest you just add redirect to htaccess

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

can you answer this question

Then go back to
dashboard>topics and see if the forums show in the main list

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 8 months ago]

so did you reset forums as in

dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums
