Hi. I’m trying to create a bbPress shortcode so that I can display topics that have a certain meta_key value. I’ve been trying to piece it together from the global bbpress shortcodes and wordpress shortcode tutorials.

I’m using a Dev4Press premium plugin to create the custom fields for each bbpress topic. (http://www.dev4press.com/download/plugin-gd-taxonomies-tools) Now I just have to figure out how to filter based on the custom data.

Here’s what I have. It isn’t going so well, and I’d love a tip.

<?php function FilterTopics($topics_query = array()) {

'meta_key' => 'ride_destination',

'post_type' => 'topic',

'posts_per_page' => -1

);

}



if ( bbp_has_topics( $topics_query ) ) {

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics'    );

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop',       'topics'    );

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics'    );



// No topics

} else {

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/feedback',   'no-topics' );

}



add_shortcode('sitemap', 'GenerateSitemap');  ?>

Ok! Gave up on the shortcode and found a better solution using the bbPviews plugin, in tandem with the GD Custom Posts and Taxonomies Plugin I bought which creates the bbPress custom fields. Here’s a tutorial I made on filtering by bbpress custom views on my website!
