    Oh nice. I made the disable submit and spinner plugin in my test environment but haven’t put it into prod yet. I’l try your plugin in my test env and see what it does! 7K installs is great.

    One user just told me that when he posts sometimes he clicks the submit button twice, causing double posts. I tried it and confirmed with both an admin and non admin account. I understand that there’s supposed to be some kind of duplicate check, but that’s not happening. The submit button should be disabled and replaced with a spinning wheel or something to indicate to the user that there’s an operation pending. Maybe I’ll try to make a plugin for that.

    It’s super customized, but if there’s a demand I could think about making it available.

    Want to test out a new website feature?

    @tkserver

    Participant

    Yeah I just deployed the first version. Once it’s been tested and gotten some user feedback I’ll update if necessary, then I think I’ll make a free version for the bbPress community.

    @tkserver

    Participant

    Thanks. When I’m back to debugging emails I’ll try it out!

    Since I never found a solution for this, I created my own. Just deployed it to production on one of my sites for the users to try out. Wooohoo.

    @zoddshop63 I’ve had many problems with buddypress emails never reaching their recipients. Did you figure anything out?

    The above link would normally show the tweet before the rename to X.

    I wrote my own. 🙂

    Perhaps I should have worded my question better:

    Is there an existing plugin/feature that allows users to filter forum categories to customize their experience?

    🙂

    I’ve built a few ios/android bbpress apps now. It is not a “quick” or cheap solution however! You can contact me if you are interested: http://www.tkserver.com/contact/

    I’ve built 3 custom bbpress ios/android apps now. One for myself and two for clients. Each site has such different needs that a generic, one size fits all solution for an app would be hard to pull off. Not impossible. One issue would be that the app has to be available on say iTunes, requiring a paid developer license and support and so-on. That app would have to have a setting somewhere to add the domain of the bbpress it is going to connect to. So that app would not be affiliated necessarily with your site, but a generic app. Otherwise, you’d have to have a developer account and do all the PITA stuff it takes to get your app launched, which means a lot of custom work.

    $role = bbp_get_user_role( $reply_author_id );

    If you go to the examples https://bbpress.org/about/examples/ and click the 2nd one under favorites that one is mine. https://www.utehub.com

    You will need to look at your php error log to find the issue. Probably a compatibility difference between hosts.

    @tkserver

    Participant

    Do you have author/avatar in replies too? Then there would be no need for users end point. Paging is huge. I’m using @mapofemergence API for paging currently.

    I’ve now joined the #bbpress slack!

    @tkserver

    Participant

    Wow am I so brain dead that I created that users end point on my own branch of your version 1.0.2 and don’t even remember? (just read previous posts and yes, apparently I did!) All I’m getting from that service is name and avatar, but that was because those were not in the latest topics or replies. If both of those had author name and avatar, I might have no need for a users endpoint unless one wanted to list posts or replies by user.

    I’m very close to releasing a read-only version of my app. A day or two likely.

    I just joined the WP slack but that’s way too busy and focused on wp core. I think a separate channel for bbPress or the api would be good.

    I’ve set up a new slack account.

    This was missing from bbp-api.php:

    	register_rest_route( 'bbp-api/v1', '/users/(?P<id>\d+)', array(
    		'methods' => 'GET',
    		'callback' => 'bbp_api_users_one',
    	) );

    and users.php was also missing.

    I’m guessing that was intentional?

    @tkserver

    Participant

    Ok @casiepa I’m trying v1.0.3 of your api. Some of the routes are different.

    The users routes do not seem to work in 1.0.3
    wp-json/bbp-api/v1/users
    wp-json/bbp-api/v1/users/1

    Still checking… Will post more findings if there are any.

    Ok now that we are on the topic of subforums, I see an issue on the API end.

    I have a forum which is a parent of about six other forums. That forum has 10 posts in it. The sub forums have 121 posts in them. The total for the parent is showing as 131 because it is counting the subforums. The problem with this is that for my paging I’m using the topic count which breaks the app. The total topics are 131, but there’s only 10 topics to show.

    Does that make sense?

    @tkserver

    Participant

    Well oops. I fell a little silly. I thought my paging was broken in the sub-forum scenario. It wasn’t. Turns out the parent form had only 10 total topics. So when I would go to page 2, there was nothing to show. LOL.

    @tkserver

    Participant

    I’ve made my own pagination which then makes sure the http calls are only for the number of records requested. I’m showing the subforums fine, and linking to them. The thing is a forum can be a parent of other forums so it can have posts in it along with the subforums. Somehow the paging is getting broken because I’m not accounting for posts vs subforums. I need to make some logic for that specific scenario.

    @tkserver

    Participant

    I’m finding doing paging on forums which have posts and also have subforums to be a pain, LOL.

    @tkserver

    Participant

    Great @casiepa I will check it out! For posts in a forum with user/avatar etc I’ve been using a modified version of the API from @mapofemergence which has been working well.
