I want to be able to edit each of the Link – Let’s say for example I want to Change ‘Reply’ to ‘Respond’ and also add a fontawesome icon with the html i element.

[Robin W]

hmm…that’s awkward as would involve some custom code to fix, probably added to the above plugin.

I don’t have time to do this at the moment

[Robin W]

ok, the existing function is

function bbp_get_topic_post_date( $topic_id = 0, $humanize = false, $gmt = false ) {
		$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );

		// 4 days, 4 hours ago
		if ( !empty( $humanize ) ) {
			$gmt_s  = !empty( $gmt ) ? 'U' : 'G';
			$date   = get_post_time( $gmt_s, $gmt, $topic_id );
			$time   = false; // For filter below
			$result = bbp_get_time_since( $date );

		// August 4, 2012 at 2:37 pm
		} else {
			$date   = get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), $gmt, $topic_id, true );
			$time   = get_post_time( get_option( 'time_format' ), $gmt, $topic_id, true );
			$result = sprintf( _x( '%1$s at %2$s', 'date at time', 'bbpress' ), $date, $time );
		}

		return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_topic_post_date', $result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time );
	}

so we can filter this as follows :

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_post_date' , 'rew_date' , 10 , 6) ;

function rew_date ($result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time) {
	$result = 'hello' ;

return $result ;
}

This should then say ‘hello’ so all we want to do is change $result to read whatever you want – so what do you want it to say ?

[Babblebey]

Not very much, I feel very lazy to read this page – https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-5/

Aww

[Babblebey]

I have been doing that from the start of the whole process of the project, I have all the bbpress templates copied over to my theme directory, I am doing an edit on exactly all the template.

But the bbp_topic_post_date('d M, Y') doesn’t work is the thing.

[Babblebey]

I would like to add Icons to the Admin Links, But I do not want use the ::before or ::after, I would like to filter and dictate the content it outputs by adding some html element to it such like <i class="fa fa-reply"></i>

I hope this is possible

[Babblebey]

The Plugin is kind of disturbing my function in the way I have set them up already… And it only works on the Freshness Display, it doesn’t work on the topics and reply post dates.

I want one that can work similarly like the WordPress the_date('d M, Y') to look like bbp_topic_post_date('d M, Y') to dictate the exact date format I want for that function to return. I do not really want plugins, I’m trying to build with little to no plugins at all.

[demonboy]

Yep, that’s great. Thanks again, Robin.

If anyone else is interested, in addition to the above code placed in functions.php, I amended loop-single-topic.php in my child theme thus:

		<a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title(); ?>
<?php $forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id(); 
    if (( $forum_id == 41371) ){
			?>
 - <?php echo bbp_get_topic_author(); ?></a>		
<?php
    }

else {?>		
		</a>
<?php
}?>
		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_title' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_topic_pagination(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_meta' ); ?>

		<p class="bbp-topic-meta">

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_started_by' ); ?>
<?php $forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id(); 
    if (( $forum_id == 41371) ){
			?>
<?php
    }

else {?>
			<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?></span>
<?php
}?>

This selects a specific forum and within that forum it removes the ‘started by’ meta info that normally appears under the title. Instead it places the topic author’s display name (not user name) as an extension of the topic title, separated by a hyphen. The link to the author is removed and instead becomes part of the link to the topic.

Hi Robin,

If you instead go to Dashboard>Forums>Edit and a set “Visibility” to “Hidden”, the forum is still visible (listed) to a user with the Forum Role of “Participant” (although they cannot visit the forum).

Can you confirm? This isn’t the expected, default bbPress behavior for a “Hidden” forum according to forum visibility documentation.

By “default” I mean bbPress without “bbp Private Forums” installed. I understand you are the author (awesome job!). If “Hidden” actually hid a forum, I wouldn’t require “bbp Private Forums” and I’d skip the need to donate to you :).

[Robin W]

try this

function rew_login_redirect_url ($redirect) {
	//quit if it's not a redirect
	if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '?redirect_to=') == false ) return $redirect;
	$redirect = 'url' ;
	
	return $redirect ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_user_login_redirect_to' , 'rew_login_redirect_url', 5 , 1) ;

change ‘url’ to where you want it to go

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

Code Snippets

[Robin W]

if that code does what you want then just use the same logic you did in

How to reorder topics in one forum?

eg

function rkk_topic_av() {

$thisforumid = bbp_get_forum_id();

  if($thisforumid == 43135) {

	    	echo bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '48' , 'type' => 'avatar'));
}
}
add_action('bbp_theme_before_topic_title','rkk_topic_av');

Counting Topic Favorites:

<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$countfav = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
    $topicfav_listarray = get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', true) ;
    $topicfav_list = explode (',' , $topicfav_listarray) ;
    if (in_array ($topic , $topicfav_list))  $countfav++ ;
}
echo $countfav;
?>;

Counting Topic Subscriptions:

<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$countsub = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
    $topicsub_listarray = get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', true) ;
    $topicsub_list = explode (',' , $topicsub_listarray) ;
    if (in_array ($topic , $topicsub_list))  $countsub++ ;
}
echo $countsub;
?>;

Now those are the things that worked.

Thank you, Robin! I hope this helps someone in the future

[Babblebey]

<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$countsub = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
    $topicsub_list = array(get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', false)) ;
    if (in_array ($topic , $topicsub_list))  $countsub++ ;
}
echo $countsub;
?>

Now it’s understandable that this also didn’t work on the topic I tested it with, because the user has subscribed to multiple topics.

Oh wow!

[Babblebey]

<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$countfav = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
    $topicfav_listarray = get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', true) ;
    $topicfav_list = explode (',' , $topicfav_listarray) ;
    if (in_array ($topic , $topicfav_list))  $countsub++ ;
}
echo $countfav;
?>

This worked now Robin! Thank you!

[Babblebey]

Now I guess if Each User has already one topic in his wp__bbp_favorites the topic stays favorited and counted but No counts is allowed for another topic again.

So the if (in_array ($topic , $topic_list)) $count++ is being a Jealous line i.e: It Only counts a user’s favorite if the user favorites only the currents topics else it doesn’t. because there exists more than one topic inside the $topic_list = array(get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_favorites', false)) ;

What do I do?

[Babblebey]

My Code was to test it for how many User has favourited a particular topic (Like, check how many likes a post has)…

But I guess like you said, If I understand you very well, I am testing in a scenario where User has only one topic listed in the wp__bbp_favorites meta area…

I think that fact has returned to haunt me now Robin… The picture above shows that the Currently logged in User (Who is a keymaster) has favorited the current topic but, his Favorite doesn’t count, the displayed 1 is for that of the second user who also favorites the same topic and happens to be the only topic he has favorited.

Look at the shot below then:

Now I have added more topics to the user’s wp__bbp_favorites by favouriting more topics but Its not displaying the favourites in those topics.

Another scenario on a different topic here:

Not displaying the number of favorite for the topic.

I added a new user and it was able to successfully favourite and increase the count on one of those topics that didn’t get from the previous two users.

So I think the favorite count only work if a certain user has only one topic inside their wp__bbp_favorites

Here’s the favourite count code again as I have used:

$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$count = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
    $topic_list = array(get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_favorites', false)) ;
    if (in_array ($topic , $topic_list))  $count++ ;
}
echo $count;

What do you suggest I do now Robin? Should I try explode explosion???

[Robin W]

great – you may want to check the favorites for if a user has more than one favorite topic – I am suspecting your code was only tested with 1 favorite – if so same principal, if not I don’t know why one works and then other doesn’t !!

[Babblebey]

bbp_topic_post_date() & bbp_reply_post_date() returns date in this format September 2, 2018 at 4:34 am.

How does one change it to the other formats:

time ago, September 2, 2018 or 2-10-2019

And possibly other formats as preferred.

[Babblebey]

That was a hit, Robin!

<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$countsub = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
    $topicsub_listarray = get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', true) ;
    $topicsub_list = explode (',' , $topicsub_listarray) ;
    if (in_array ($topic , $topicsub_list))  $countsub++ ;
}
echo $countsub;
?>

That worked it….. Thank you.

[Robin W]

syntax error

line

add_filter('bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args', 'my_custom_display_topic_index_query ' );

should read

add_filter('bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args', 'my_custom_display_topic_index_query' );

is essence you have a space after the word query before the ‘ in 'my_custom_display_topic_index_query '

[Robin W]

looks like it hasn’t converted to an array basically it should read

array (size = 2)
0 => 149
1 => 65

etc.

ok so let’s try replacing

$topicsub_list = array(get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', false)) ;

with

$topicsub_lista = get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', true) ;
$topicsub_list = explode (',' , $topicsub_lista) ; 

[Babblebey]

Ok, so I’ve got this result, Robin!

Topic : 65
user_id: 1
array (size=1)
  0 => string '149,65' (length=6)

Topic : 65
user_id: 2
array (size=1)
  0 => string '145,146,65' (length=10)

0

I believe that should mean that User 1 and User 2 and currently subscribed to the topic But I still get a 0. The Replica of the Favorite should actually work but I don’t know..

[Robin W]

hmm, can’t see why it shoudln’t work

try for test purposes

<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$countsub = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
    $topicsub_list = array(get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', false)) ;
echo '<br>Topic : '.$topic ;
echo '<br>user_id: '.$user->id.'<br>' ;
var_dump ($topicsub_list) ;
    if (in_array ($topic , $topicsub_list))  $countsub++ ;
}
echo $countsub;
?>

that should help you find out where the problem is

[Chuckie]

If I attach a redirect_to parameter to the wp-login.php it will redirect to the topic.

But if I use my custom logon page that uses the defined shortcode it will not redirect. It seems the query parameters are stripped.

Please advise.

[Babblebey]

<?php
$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$countsub = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
    $topicsub_list = array(get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_subscriptions', false)) ;
    if (in_array ($topic , $topicsub_list))  $countsub++ ;
}
echo $countsub;
?>

It didn’t work that way, Robin!

I got a 0 in the result, even as i was sure there’s a subscription
