@robin-w i couldnt get the if ( bbp_is_topic function working

i wanted to test out if i could do this , took code from this

<div class="dropdown" id="dropdown">
				<input type="checkbox" id="drop1" />
        <label for="drop1" class="dropdown_button">Topic Tools</label>
        <ul class="dropdown_content">
            <li class="active"></li>
              <li> <?php echo bbp_get_reply_to_link(); ?></li>
              <li><?php if ( bbp_is_topic( $r['id'] ) ) {
echo bbp_get_topic_reply_link(); ?></li>
              <li><?php if ( bbp_is_topic( $r['id'] ) ) {
return bbp_get_topic_reply_link(); ?></li>
        </ul>
        
    </div>

then make a dropdown menu from that i guess , but im just swinging the dark not really getting a exactly great way of doing what i want to achieve.

plus i might have to go to a jquery menu template like this

because the css menus arent working on all replies.

i cant access your site to take pictures

[Robkk]

you want to change the

links that come up with a topic or reply so that only some show, and others are in a dropdown list.

is that correct?

yes

This also gives you the ability to add a new link

yeah i added the topic favorite link to see if it worked and it did with the ajax too
and also a mark topic as read from the bbpress go to first unread plugin

You’ll also see that this function checks if it is a topic on line 1825

i used this as a filter for the topic admin links

//change admin links displayed
function change_topic_admin_links ($r) {
$r['links'] = apply_filters( 'rw_topic_admin_links', array(
				'edit'  => bbp_get_topic_edit_link ( $r ),
				'reply'  => bbp_get_topic_reply_link ( $r )
				
			), $r['id'] );
return $r['links'] ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_topic_admin_links', 'change_topic_admin_links' ) ;

i tried using this function to post a single admin link for a topic
and also just by replacing return with echo
but i cant seem to get that to work

if ( bbp_is_topic( $r['id'] ) ) {
			return bbp_get_name_of_link();
		}

		if ( !bbp_is_reply( $r['id'] ) ) {
			return bbp_get_name_of_link() ;
		}

[Robkk]

checked it out

are you basically making all the css from scratch?? like even the menu positioning (idk why that looks off on my side)??

ya need to fix alot in the css positioning of things and add a tiny bit of spacing to some items

make sure everything is aligned up right and not look awkward in some areas

[Robkk]

bbPress – Ajax Replies

this plugin only seemed to work for me when threaded replies is activated

[Robkk]

there is a little bug on this
that i could fix in the future

whenever i subscribe to a forum
it shows the menu on subscribed forums in the subscriptions area in your profile
(it showed up on the forums area in my buddypress extended profiles)

easy fix is to turn off subscriptions to forums and topics in bbpress forum settings

ill try to find a css way to fix this , if not ILL look up another way

@netweb i might put this into the codex if i fix all the nooks and crannies

[Robkk]

how do I change the font colour of @username?

im going to use my version though , cause i dont know how with the add action version

<p class=bbp-user-nicename><?php $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
} ?></p>

throw this into custom css

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-user-nicename {
font-weight: bold;
color: #888;
display: inline-block;
margin: 0;
}

[Robkk]

How to add a @username like BBPress forum

<?php $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
} ?>

you add this to your loop-single-reply.php template

[Robkk]

nevermind i got it , i assumed i could easily do it with css

after a couple of tries i eventually got it

li.bbp-header {
    display: none;
}

hides the header on blog posts and forums

but when i add

.post li.bbp-header {
  background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;
  display:block;
}

the header is now just on forums and not on blog posts anymore

this also works on the li.bbp-footer too

and probably anything else if you just use

display:none; to hide the original css for blog posts

.post to display it only on forum pages

ok i checked out all the steps ,and i literally just copied and pasted my code and it worked
fine for me

i checked out the code on how to register a new menu in woothemes canvas and it looks a little different from what the code i gave you.

you can take a look at https://support.woothemes.com/hc/en-us/articles/203106807-Add-Custom-Navigation-Menus-in-Canvas and see the how its done.

i pretty much gave you all you need , i just cant work on the exact structure on the code it might be just adding in ‘woothemes’ but i dont know for sure

(i work trial and error, im a 19 y/o newb haha) .

you could wait til @robin-w or @netweb takes over , work it out yourself, or contact woothemes and link them to this topic and maybe they will help you out too.

[Robkk]

Could it be a problem with canvas?

it shouldnt be

[Robkk]

well maybe there is a problem with recognizing the menu location , like exactly where the function is in loop-forums.php

first let me see a link to your website

then im going to recreate this bbpress menu from the steps i gave you and see if i made an error copying and pasting

by the time i finish this is what you could do

put <nav id="subnav" role="navigation">

<?php
if ( has_nav_menu( 'bbmenu' ) ) { /* if menu location 'bbmenu' exists then use custom menu */
      wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'bbmenu') ); 
}
?>

</nav>

below <?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_loop' ); ?>

and see if that fixes anything

[Robkk]

I use Yoast breadcrumbs from Yoast SEO plugin could that effect the bbpress breadcrumbs

yes

if it checked in the internal links settings

if so to display the bbpress breadcrumbs uncheck it or use this in functions.php in a child theme

remove_filter( 'bbp_get_breadcrumb', '__return_false' );

[Robkk]

everything on here requires you to have a child theme. especially bbpress templates in your child theme

[Robkk]

oh yeh create a new menu, name it , and any links to your forums with the link module in the wordpress menu system . make sure when you see theme locations click bbpress Forum Menu

now save and your menu should show up in your forum archive

[Robkk]

okay what they did was register a menu which is a whole lot easier

so first put this in your functions.php if you have a child theme

function register_menu() {
	register_nav_menu('bbmenu', __('bbpress Forum Menu'));
}
add_action('init', 'register_menu');
     		

and now put this above <?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_loop' ); ?>
which is inside loop-forums.php inside the bbpress default templates

<nav id="subnav" role="navigation">

<?php
if ( has_nav_menu( 'bbmenu' ) ) { /* if menu location 'bbmenu' exists then use custom menu */
      wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'bbmenu') ); 
}
?>

</nav>

now put this in your custom css or plugin

#subnav {
	background: none;
	clear: both;
	display: block;
	float: left;
	margin: 0 auto 6px;
	width: 100%;
}

#subnav ul {
	font-size: 13px;
	list-style: none;
	margin: 0;
}

#subnav li {
list-style-type: none;
display: inline-block;
margin: 6px 4px;
}

#subnav a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #555;
background: #ddd;
padding: 2px 8px;
border: 1px solid #e4e4e4;
}

#subnav li a:hover {
background: #333;
color: #fff;
border-color: transparent;
text-shadow: none;
}

tell me if you come into any problems , so i can see if i hadd a problem copy and pasting

[Robkk]

its basically html links manually written to go to each forum

like what you did to link to singletrackworld, it just has a little bit of style with css

ILL hook you up in a minute(it will be awhile) though

[Robkk]

thanks 🙂

[Robkk]

@dottedpixel

could you highlight what you want exactly

cause im not sure what you want , the way the forums itself display?

or the links above the forum that display each forum name? <–thats really easy

you could probably do the other thing with shortcodes

[Robkk]

haha well remove topic description to

[Robkk]

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'ja_return_blank' );

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'ja_return_blank' );

function ja_return_blank() {

    return '';

}

i have this in my functions php in my child theme

[Robkk]

keep buddypress uninstall bbpress?

[Robkk]

ok, ignore the code (it is confusing me)

i understand

So you have a topic started and this displays in the ‘post author’ part an avatar, the topic author name, but no role

it should just display the topic author name with a certain color

Next someone replies and this displays in the ‘post author’ part an avatar, and the reply author name, but nothing else

yes exactly

Next is a reply by the original author, and in the ‘post author’ part this display an avatar, and their name in say a green block (and nothing else)

yes

Is that what you want?

just in case heres a picture, zoom with the scroll wheel

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Ue9ryY5cmYTHhlRkg0a3k4T1U/edit?usp=sharing

i used a blue because it was the color i had when photoshop was last used

[Robkk]

@robin-w

pretty much just look at that post

Display Topic Starter label around topic authors avatar in topic replies

[Robkk]

@robin-w yeah i still need help
