Count topic’s favorites

    I’m using bbPress’s “favorite” feature as “like” feature in other social networks in my application. Is there a function which would allow me to count the number of users whom “favorited” a topic? I’m also interested in counting the number of subscribed users for a particular topic as well. I’ve looked into /bbpress/includes/topics/templates.php but did not find any and wondering if you’re aware of any.

    Thanks.

    The favorited/subscribed data is stored in the user meta table specific to each user, I am not sure how to do this too or even if it is possible.

    @Loc Pham,

    You will need some coding for this, so probably a developer can help you. But to give you some starting points:
    – As @Robkk says, this is stored in the metadata of a user
    – You need to check for the metakey ‘{your WP prefix}_bbp_favorites’ of all the (active) users and analyse the comma-separated string of the meta_values
    – Then you can count the times that your topic ID is found

    Pascal.

    Actually, there’s a function for this already and it’s called: bbp_get_topic_favoriters($postID).

    Hope this helps others looking for something similar.

    Glad you found the solution to your issue. Sorry i wasn’t much help, it is hard to know every single function in the plugin. I am digging in the code more and more though.
