sorry I am confused …I can give you code to go to any url, but unless you create some content for that url, it will 404.

what are you expecting it to do when you click that link ?

[Robin W]

add_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_details_menu_items', 'rew_add_item' ); 

function rew_add_item () {
	?>
	<ul>
		<li class="pictures">
			<span class="pictures-link">
				<?php
				$username =  bbp_get_user_nicename(bbp_get_displayed_user_id());
				echo '<a href="http://localhost/projects/wpdev2/forums/users/'.$username.'/my-stories/">Click to show picture</a>' ;
				?>	
			</span>
			</li>
	</ul>
<?php	
}

[Robin W]

sorry, I don’t fully understand – the code will take you to any url you want.

do you mean user specific?

or if you got it working in buddypress what code did you use there?

or maybe describe what you want to achieve?

[Robin W]

add_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_details_menu_items', 'rew_add_item' ); 

function rew_add_item () {
	?>
	<ul>
		<li class="pictures">
			<span class="pictures-link">
					<a href="https://prnt.sc/wcemvm">Click to show picture</a>
				</span>
			</li>
	</ul>
<?php	
}

[Robin W]

ok, so you could use the hook in the standard template to add the item in a plugin

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

Hello Robin

Thank you for the code.
I added it to my child theme’s function file and the link is now displayed in my forums page.

However, whenever I click the link it doesn’t seem to work. Meaning, it doesn’t lead to anywhere. Is there something else I need to do other than that to get the link to work?

-M

[Robin W]

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

add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'rew_create_new_topic' ) ;

function rew_create_new_topic () {
	$text='Create New Topic' ;
	if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && !bbp_is_forum_category() ) {
	$href = '#new-post'  ;
	echo '<div class="rew-new-topic">  <a href ="'.$href.'">'.$text.'</a></div>' ;
	}
}

but you’ll have to work out how to style it yourself I’m afraid !!

Hello,

Using the [bbp-topic-form] shortcode, users will have to choose from a dropdown list in order to post a topic. Of course, this can cause some issues as users can often post in the wrong forums without knowing it.

How can bbpresss forum functionality be configured so that users can press a ‘create a new topic’ button, press enter, and that topic is automatically posted in the forum where the ‘create a new topic’ button was situated?

Thank you

[Robin W]

You are right to be wary of ‘old’ plugins, and not just install without thinking about it, but this one just hooks to stable bbpress code elements.

[Robin W]

you should note that under the code above, if in

dashboard>users>edit user

you set the forum role to ‘no role for these forums’ it will simply add them back as participant when they next log in

[Robin W]

you are right ! Looks like it change on 2.6.

It now does it on register

so to change back to how it used to work

in

dashboard>settings>forums untick Automatically give registered visitors…etc

Then 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

add_action('wp_login', 'rew_add_role');

function 'rew_add_role' () {
	$user_id = $user->ID ; 
	$role = bbp_get_user_role( $user_id );
	if (empty($role)) {
		bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, 'bbp_participant' );
	}
}

This code is untested, but should work, if not come back

[sbask]

https://domain/forums/view/my-subscribed-topics/
and https://domain/forums/users/user/subscriptions/

should show them same information correct? Or should there be a difference? I’m looking at the codec and can’t figure out why “my-subscribed-topics” should have a difference with the topics section under subscriptions

[Robin W]

put this in your themes custom css

a.bbpressloginurl, 
a.bbpressregisterurl,
a.bbpresslostpasswordurl
{
font-size : 16px ;
font-weight: bold;

}

[khubaib927]

yes, i do have that shortcode on my page

[Robin W]

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.
