Probably a theme issue, so do you have the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in your forums page ?

[erich199]

@robin-w , I must have misread what you posted then. I’ll go back and take a look. I was using the shortcode [bsp-display-topic-index show=’1′ forum =’10’ template = ‘short’ show_stickies=’true’ noreply=’true’]

[Robin W]

there is a short code in my style pack above that does this as stated above 🙂

[erich199]

Sorry I might not have explained what I’m trying to accomplish properly.

The shortcode I’m currently using on my live site is this:
[bbp-single-topic id=4657]

Just the normal bbpress shortcode to show the content of the actual topic. I used some CSS code to remove the post form and any replies. So it shows only the first post in a topic which is what I want to display as news on my front page from different forums. The shortcode you listed does show the stickies but just the actual forum topic and not the content of the first post of that forum topic.

I wasn’t sure if there was a shortcode that displays the content of the first post from “x” amount of topics from a specific forum.

So on my page I have three codes that are pulling a single topic from 3 different forums.

[Robin W]

bit confused – the shortcode I gave you without the noreply should do what you require

what is the exact shortcode you are using?

[Henry Chinaski]

I’m interested in this too! Did you find the shortcode?

[erich199]

Hi @robin-w,

That gets me close to the functionality. I managed to get it displayed properly. You can see at the top of the homepage at tidesofwar.net. I used the single topic shortcode and some css hacks to get it to display how I want it.

The issue is I have to manually edit the page anytime I want the topic to change.

[Robin W]

I think my style pack plugin might do what you want

bbp style pack

then use

[bsp-display-topic-index show=’1′ forum =’10’ template = ‘short’ show_stickies=’true’ noreply=’true’]

see

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes for how to use

[bolhachefe]

@unterwegsinberlin

First, put this shortcode on a page: [bbp-search-form].

After, edit the css style of the search form template.

[erich199]

@bolhachefe,

Thanks for the information. This does accomplish sort of what I want. I don’t want to feed it just a single topic. I would like it to post the two most recent topics in a specific forum. Perhaps I can hunt for this shortcode code and modify it.

[bolhachefe]

@erich199

[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id]

More information at: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/#topics

[erich199]

I was curious if anyone has or knows of any function or shortcode that I can use that pulls the first topic from a specific forum and shows it on a page?

@robin-w , does your bbpress shortcode plugin do this?

I basically want to create a section on my homepage called “Announcements” and have the latest two topics from my forums with the Title and an excerpt from the post body included.

[Robin W]

and couldn’t use it in bbPress function’ file.

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Code Snippets

[Robin W]

sorry for late reply.

You would do better to link to topic and reply content

so

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'content_link_for_user_snippets',80, 2 );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'content_link_for_user_snippets', 80, 2 );

I’d run them at priority 80, as bbpress runs various actions at this point, including one called ‘bbp_make_clickable’ at priority 60, which would probably reverse your efforts !

Hello

I want a code to use in the function file of bbPress to hide all links in the content of forum’s topics and replies for visitors.

I mean until a visitor is not logged in the forum, instead of displaying links, it shows a text message like “displaying links to members only” and a registration link to register and enter his account so that redirects to the last page in the topic or reply.

Additional Explanation:

I Use the code below:

add_filter( 'the_content', 'content_link_for_user_snippets', 1 );
 
function content_link_for_user_snippets( $content = '' ) {
    // Snippets.ir
    if( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
        preg_match_all( "#<a(.*?)>(.*?)#i", $content, $matches );
        $num = count( $matches[0] );
        for( $i = 0; $i < $num; $i++ ) {
            $content = str_replace( $matches[0][ $i ], '<a href="' . ( get_permalink() ) . '"><span style="color:#F00;">[displaying links to members only]<span></a>', $content );
        }
    }
 
    return $content;
}

in My site’s Theme and word very nice but it doesn’t have any effect in form and couldn’t use it in bbPress function’ file.

[Robin W]

You are asking someone to write code in their free time to do something that their code wasn’t intended to do.

it’s that simple

[Robin W]

this is what I might out in style pack

add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_forum' , 'bsp_template_notices') ;

add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_topic' , 'bsp_template_notices') ;

function bsp_template_notices() {

	// Bail if no notices or errors
	if ( ! bbp_has_errors() ) {
		return;
	}

	// Define local variable(s)
	$errors = $messages = array();

	// Get bbPress
	$bbp = bbpress();

	// Loop through notices
	foreach ( $bbp->errors->get_error_codes() as $code ) {

		// Get notice severity
		$severity = $bbp->errors->get_error_data( $code );

		// Loop through notices and separate errors from messages
		foreach ( $bbp->errors->get_error_messages( $code ) as $error ) {
			if ( 'message' === $severity ) {
				$messages[] = $error;
			} else {
				$errors[]   = $error;
			}
		}
	}

	// Display errors first...
	if ( ! empty( $errors ) ) : ?>

		<div class="bbp-template-notice error" role="alert" tabindex="-1">
			<ul>
				<li>
					<?php echo implode( "</li>\n<li>", $errors ); ?>
					<a href="#new-post">
					<?php _e('Click here to correct', 'bbp-style-pack') ; ?>
					</a>
				</li>
			</ul>
		</div>

	<?php endif;

}

[Robin W]

I’ve found that annoying in the past, and not bothered to think about correcting.

This basic code will display the errors at the top, but I might look to improve on that in style pack

add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_forum' , 'bbp_template_notices') ;

add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_topic' , 'bbp_template_notices') ;

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Perfect. Thx Robin!!
The following now works

/* only run forum script in forum area */
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts' , 'deregister_forum_script');

function deregister_forum_script(){
if ( !is_bbpress() ){
    wp_deregister_script('forum-js');
}}

This ticket is now closed. thx!

I have this now, but how do i assigm $kat_id to tthe Blog post category when i submit my Blogpost?

function add_content_before_first_reply_content($content,$id){

	$post = get_post($id);
	$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
	$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id();
	
	$hf_user = wp_get_current_user();
	$hf_username = $hf_user->user_login;
	
    $kat_id = wp_get_post_parent_id($post);
	
	
    $content_to_add =&quot;<a href=&quot;create-new-post?vis=$kat_id>&nbsp;Add new blog &nbsp;</a>
	
	if ($topic_id === $reply_id) {
		// do whatever you need to in  here
		$content .= $content_to_add;
	}

	return $content;

}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', '

[zamzey]

		// Only add onclick if replies are threaded
		if ( bbp_thread_replies() ) {

			// Array of classes to pass to moveForm
			$move_form = array(
				$r['add_below'] . '-' . $reply->ID,
				$reply->ID,
				$r['respond_id'],
				$reply->post_parent
			);

i think it somewhere here

[Robin W]

so what are you using to login – bbpress login widgets, shortcodes or what?

I found this guide there is no written how to do it …

[Robin W]

always pays to check how someone did something 🙂

the code that is being called at that point just loads the worpdress access details, so that loaded from wordpress.

I’d suggest a chat with your host provider to see if they know anything in their set up that might have cached an old version.

Oh I found the error in my code above
Just replacing
is_category()
with
is_archive()

Still, not sure I’m taking the best approach here,
maybe I’m missing a simpler way to categorise topics?
