Pardon all my posts. You know what would be a great end point? A single topic with a replies object. Can that be done? One call which has the topic and all its replies. That might be too hard to do because of ordering of the replies as in threaded or non threaded etc.
@casiepa is there paging on your api? I like how your topics have reply counts in the object.
I’ve started coding an angular/mobile bbPress app. I’ve already got a “latest topics” feed working in the app via the API by @mapofemergence and it works great. I just ran into the first hurdle, which is that WP’s API does not allow access to user info. A custom API to get the user’s name and avatar etc would be needed.
@casiepa I will check yours out as well.
I’ve already got the “latest posts” feed working with post titles and dates. One catch is that I can’t get the author’s name because the WP API won’t allow it, presumably to prevent name harvesting. So I may have to make a custom API for that.
I’m starting development of my bbPress mobile app. I have noticed that buddyPress has an RSS feed for latest member activity, which also has bbPress posts. One could utilize that, but it is very limited and shows multiple duplicates of the same post if a user edits.
Sounds like you’ve put some good thought into it @mapofemergence and I hope to contribute on the front end side with suggestions and reports on how I’m able to get it to work, if you’d like some input/help.
I hope to start on my bbPress mobile app in the next week or two.
I’m happy to have found this discussion. Shortly after making an iOS/Android app out of one of my WP blogs I will embark on making a mobile app for my bbPress based forum at UteHub.com. So naturally I started google bbPress API.
I have yet to look at what’s returned by the bbP api plugins in this thread, but why not just use a custom post type function to add to the WP api? Is there something coming from these bbP api’s not in there?
I will be developing my bbPress app in Angular JS 1.x. I’m sure I’ll be participating more as I get into the project.
I got it figured out and implemented.
Hey @robin-w or any other BBP mods. I’m in dire need of I believe a custom walker for my custom page’s replies. I’m stumped to the point of wanting to hire someone to do it for me. Any ideas?
I believe I need to make either a custom reply Walker class, or a recursive function. How would I make a bbPress reply walker class and implement it?
Hey @mth75 is your last post in response to my threaded comment or the like function? Sorry about hijacking my own thread.
Thanks! Do you know much about WP_Query args and nested replies?!?!?! 🙂
FYI this layout has morphed and improved quite a bit since the last post here.
You have to load the bbpress plugin most likely.
Check out how I’ve done replies on my home page at http://www.utehub.com
You will have to set up an account though, to see the functionality. Check out the new post function too. I’ve also added a fully functioning text editor to each reply/post. Needless to say, the home page has taken probably hundreds of hours of development.
Very simple css but if you need help let me know. Be sure to rate the plugin too thanks!
@tech55541 nice! Yes the classes are custom so you shouldn’t have any issues overriding them.
Ok @tech55541 I’ve just added a short code option! See if you can get it to work!

Nice plugin you created. Do you think it would be possible to create shortcodes in the next update? My theme is so old it does not have widget areas LOL.
Thanks, cool plugin BTW.
That’s an interesting suggestion. It would not be hard but for the settings. Since the widget settings are set inside the widget itself, I’d have to redo the settings and make them part of the plugin settings.
I’ll see what I can do…
BINGO! So my local SVN repository didn’t have the files added to its database, even though I could see the files in the folder on the Mac.
Now enjoy the images and such:

I may have just figured it out.
It would appear that my local repository did not “know” there were files in the assets folder.
I navigated to the assets folder and entered: svn add screenshot-1.png and it showed an A and the file path. Then I did a svn ci -m ‘bla bla bla’ and it showed those files being uploaded to the wp server. Waiting for the updates to appear.
I just tried checking it out, then reuploading. It will only update php or text files that I’ve updated. Won’t upload the images.
@casiepa thanks for trying to help. I’ve renamed README.txt to readme.txt. I DID have structure under tags. So I fixed the stable tag to 1.0.1 in readme.txt and redid the update.
The only thing that updated is readme.txt. No images uploaded to anywhere and tags did not upload either. More help/suggestions welcomed.
Here’s the current structure.
I’ll make another update and put them in the trunk and see what happens.
