Thanks Rob.

Hi all,

Any idea about a bbpress hook that allows to modify the topic or reply before it gets saved to database?

Thanks!

Hi Rob,

Regarding the bbpress part, I could see that the filter used bbp_get_topic_content in fact helps to modify the reply before displaying it. In fact I need to save the edited reply in the database. This is required because the making the URL no clickable is needed only for specific user roles.

So can you please let me know if we have any action or filter which acts on the reply before it gets saved to the DB and thus save the modified one in DB!

Thanks!

Hi,

I have one more doubt. Even if we use

remove_filter( ‘bbp_get_reply_content’, ‘bbp_make_clickable’, 4 );
remove_filter( ‘bbp_get_topic_content’, ‘bbp_make_clickable’, 4 );

the activity stream will come up with a clickable link! How can we have the link in the activity stream also non clickable? Is there a way to do it? Please help me.

Thanks!

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply!

Evenif with the above method, the links become not clickable the URL will still be present in the post right? Is there a way to completely remove it off or automatically shorten it so that even google bots won’t see the URLs in the post?

Thanks!

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your reply!

In fact we do not want the WP comment form to appear, but it was just a trial to see if we can do something with the social media postings.

If we leave that part, I mean WP comment form on bbpress page is not required.

But if I need the bbpress topics and replies as such to be posted by using social media accounts and shared on social media walls as well, what method do you suggest. Does bbpress provide support in this regard.

Thanks!

Hi Robin,

In fact we were trying to figure out if it is possible to post in the bbpress forums via social media accounts.

ie Integrate the bbpress comment form (the place where we reply to the topics or create the topics) with social media, so that if I am logged into my google account, I can post in the topic through my google account using the same comment used by bbpress and this will get shared automatically in my google plus account as well.

This is different from social login which can be achieve with various plugins. Using the plugins for social logins we login with social media accounts and post but it does not automatically get shared on our social media wall.

I am not sure whether it is possible now. But if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi,

Refer to https://codex.bbpress.org/type/actions/. You can use the hooks and plave your social media sharing buttons wherever you want by including the code in your themes functions.php.

Thanks!

Thanks!
