Hi Robin. Thank you for responding.

database size should be no problem

I’m glad to hear that, thank you.

This is a custom convert that is a work in progress.

Forums, Topic, Replies all look good, along with a single word search, but we just noticed this issue with searching more than one word.

Another clue, after enabling debug output, “sometimes” a two word search will give this error:
“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of bytes exhausted in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-includes/post.php on line 2272”

I want to use the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode, however I really want to filter by A) Public Forums, and/or B) certain forums.

When you use the topic-index shortcode, it spits out topics regardless of the forum. The problem with this is that I use BuddyPress and there are groups with private forms. I don’t want the topic-index shortcode to display these private forums.

Now, I could use the [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] shortcode. The problem with this, however, is that it will display ALL of the topics for that forum. Now, I COULD hide everything after the first 15 or so topics with CSS, but this is a pretty terrible solution because 1) a boatload of topics are still going to (unnecessarily) be part of the HTML markup and widespread use of display:none is bad for SEO.

Any ideas?

[Robin W]

sorry, but we all have to live, and I don’t plan to replicate Vinny’s code for free.

Users are of course free to subscribe themselves to forums, and then they receive what you are after

[Robin W]

try

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar{
	display : none ;
}

[Danishsard]

Hello, will this also not remove images from the view of a specific entry in the conversation tree?

It will still load in the page code, you could delete the image by adding files. I tried but the site is broken because I do not know how to edit the line of code that displays it loop topic so as not to spoil and delete only the avatar on the topic list page

[Robin W]

the simplest way would be to put this in your theme’s custom css area

img.avatar {
	display : none ;
}

[Danishsard]

Hello, on the list of forum topics avatery are visible, how can I hide or delete them. I just need a username without these pictures.

I don’t know where to turn it on or how to enable it, even by editing the forum file code

My forum page https://infomiasto.eu/forum/tematy/rozmowy/

[Robin W]

this is code from bbpress version 1 – 9 years ago, unlikely to work

[berry metal]

I don’t use hand-coded, inline tempolates. I am using Templatera of WPBakery, and I am happy with it as it gives me a graphical overview of the structure, and they are easy to re-make or replace.

In WPBakery, I have a javascript module, an html module, but there is no PHP module.

But there is a text module which does accept shortcodes.
What do you recommend in this scenario?

[Robin W]

the code would go in your single post template – not having seen the template, I can’t say where !

I was presuming that you were editing this template and Ftp’ing it to your site, in which case, yes it could break it, but you’d just keep a copy of the old template and FTP that back. If you have debugging switched on, then this will tell you where the error is to let you correct

[Babblebey]

Thank you once again, Robin

<?php
if ( babblebey_has_topics() ):
    while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic();
        get_template_part( 'template-parts/topic', 'card' );
    endwhile;
endif;
?>

I used it like that

[Babblebey]

So I will be calling babblebey_has_topics() ?????? Please see as stated below too

I’d be tempted to just clone the bbp_has_topics function

}

which is just bbp_has_topics’ renamed with pagination changed to -1

and then call that

[berry metal]

Thank you!
Should I insert the code above in my functions.php as it is, and use [bbp-single-topic id='.$forum_id.'] in my template?
The fact that is not tested, can it break my site?

[Robin W]

untested, but try

$title = get_the_title() ;
$forums = bbp_get_forums_for_current_user() ;
	foreach ($forums as $forum) {
		if ($forum->post_title == $title) {
			$forum_id= $forum->ID ;
		}
	}
do_shortcode( '[bbp-single-topic id='.$forum_id.']' );	

[Babblebey]

The Post Per Page as its been set up from the “Forum Setting”:

Works as it should, i.e dictate the number of topics to display per Single Forum Page:

But the same setting is inturn affecting my custom loop I have placed on my HomePage Sticky Sidebar to display latest topics:

I want something similar to the ` $args = array(‘posts_per_page’ => 10 //my custom number) as its being used in the normal WP Post Loop like this below:

<?php $args = array(
‘posts_per_page’ => 10 // Like this one here
);
$posts = new WP_Query($args);
if ($posts->have_posts()):
while($posts->have_posts()): $posts->the_post();
get_template_part( ‘template-parts/content’, get_post_format() );
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
`

[Robin W]

so where are you placing this code ? eg in a page template?

[Robin W]

bbp_is_user_subscribed_to_topic()

bbp_is_user_favorite( $user_id, $topic_id );

[berry metal]

I want to output bbPress single topic shortcodes with different IDs, through my single post template.

On post with the title “A” shortcode [bbp-single-topic id=6041], on post with the title “B” shortcode [bbp-single-topic id=6042], etc…

And the matching I need it via title strings, meaning that the topic with id 6041 would have the title “A”, and the topic with id 6042 would have the title “B”.

How to achieve this, and what would be the dynamic query?

I am using bbPress instead of comments, as they are post type, and I want to use this advantage.

[Robin W]

given that

get_template_part( ‘template-parts/topic’, ‘card’ );

is from your theme (or other plugin) not bbpress, not sure what is taking the pagination.

the usual solution would be to parse args eg

add_filter ('bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args', rew_has_topics') ;

function rew_has_topics( $args = '' ) {
	$args['posts_per_page'] = '-1' ;
return $args;
}

[Babblebey]

Thank you very much.

If only the codex https://codex.bbpress.org/developer/ was completed.

Please, I might need the same for if A TOPIC is Favourited and if a TOPIC is Subscribed to

[Robin W]

bbp_is_user_subscribed_to_forum($forum)

[Babblebey]

Hello there,

Thank you for viewing this thread.

I am trying to set a button for based on users current forum subscription status

When a User “is not Subcribed” to Current Forum

 
<button type="button" class="btn-lg omna-btn-green shadow-sm" id="forum-subscription-btn"><i class="fa fa-bell"></i> <?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?></button>
<p>Subscribe to this forum and get updates on latest topics</p>

When a User “is Subscribed” to Current Forum

 
<button type="button" class="btn-lg omna-btn-green shadow-sm" id="forum-subscription-btn"><i class="fa fa-bell-slash"></i> <?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?></button>
<p>Unsubscribe from this forum and stop receiving updates on latest topics</p>

So My Code is suppose to look something like

<?php if (user_is_subcribed_to_this_forum): ?>
    <button type="button" class="btn-lg omna-btn-green shadow-sm" id="forum-subscription-btn"><i class="fa fa-bell-slash"></i> <?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?></button>
    <p>Unsubscribe from this forum and stop receiving updates on latest topics</p>
<?php else: ?>
    <button type="button" class="btn-lg omna-btn-green shadow-sm" id="forum-subscription-btn"><i class="fa fa-bell"></i> <?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?></button>
    <p>Subscribe to this forum and get updates on latest topics</p>
<?php endif; ?>

The right function to use in-place of user_is_subcribed_to_this_forum is what i seek.

Thanking you in anticipation of a working response.

Hello there,

Thank you for viewing this thread.

I have a sidebar on the Homepage of my website that should list latest forum topics. But the number of topics listed is being determined by the “number of topics” set per-page in the “Forum Settings”.

Is there a way to setup an argument($args) similarly to that of the new WP_Query($args) to set a custom of topics per-page.?

Here’s my query:

<!--Sidebar Start-->
            <div class="col-md-4">

                          </div>
                          <div class="col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-12">
                        <?php
                            if ( bbp_has_topics() ):
                                while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic();
                                    get_template_part( 'template-parts/topic', 'card' );
                                endwhile;
                            endif;
                          ?>
                        </div>
                  </div>

Understood.

This is the code in the functions php that needs updating:

function bsp_load_spinner_topic () {
	global $bsp_style_settings_form ;
	//preload spinner so it is ready - css hides this
	echo '<div id="bsp-spinner-load"></div>' ;
	//add button - hidden by css
	echo '<button type="submit" id="bsp_topic_submit" name="bbp_topic_submit" class="button submit">' ;
	//leave as is if field is blanked (user may just want spinner)
	$value = (!empty($bsp_style_settings_form['SubmittingSubmitting']) ? $bsp_style_settings_form['SubmittingSubmitting']  : '') ;
	echo $value ;
	//then add spinner if activated
	if (!empty( $bsp_style_settings_form['SubmittingSpinner'])) echo '<span class="bsp-spinner"></span>' ;
	//then finish button
	echo '</button>' ;
}
	
	
function bsp_load_spinner_reply () {
	global $bsp_style_settings_form ;
	//preload spinner so it is ready - css hides this
	echo '<div id="bsp-spinner-load"></div>' ;
	//add button - hidden by css
	echo '<button type="submit" id="bsp_reply_submit" name="bbp_reply_submit" class="button submit">' ;
	//leave as is if field is blanked (user may just want spinner)
	$value = (!empty($bsp_style_settings_form['SubmittingSubmitting']) ? $bsp_style_settings_form['SubmittingSubmitting']  : '') ;
	echo $value ;
	//then add spinner if activated
	if (!empty ( $bsp_style_settings_form['SubmittingSpinner'])) echo '<span class="bsp-spinner"></span>' ;
	//then finish button
	echo '</button>' ;
}

Specifically:

	//leave as is if field is blanked (user may just want spinner)
	$value = (!empty($bsp_style_settings_form['SubmittingSubmitting']) ? $bsp_style_settings_form['SubmittingSubmitting']  : '') ;
	echo $value ;

So it looks to see if the user has entered a value in the settings for “Submitting” and if it is not empty echos it, else it echos nothing. Do functions like bbp_allow_revisions() work in this context?
