This is my scenario,

I create a private Forum of type category , then I create two public forums to type forum which are the children of that category forum. I get a nice category level organization, when I click on the url,

Home/ Forums/ Private: DummyCategory.

But when I click on one of the forums :: Home/ Forums/ Private: DummyCategory/ DummyForum1

all the posts that do not belong to that forum shows up. It means if I post in DummyForum2 or 1 or any forum, when I click Home/ Forums/ Private: DummyCategory/ DummyForum1 , all the posts show up.

It can’t be by design ? Is this a bug ? Most likely some settings need to be changed in the bbpress I suppose , any idea ?

Just for additional details I am using code to add into the forum. I can get the parent child relations between the forums displayed properly, the insertion of the topic goes to the right parent forum. But then that bug shows up.

if (!function_exists('bbp_insert_topic')) {
            require_once '/includes/topics/functions.php';
        }

        echo "All fine here ??? Did it reached ";
        $forum_ID = $selectmyID;
        $terms = array(bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id() => $key_pieces);
        // The topic data.
        $topic_data = array(
        'post_parent'       => $forum_ID, // forum ID of Projects  hard coded
        'post_status'       => bbp_get_public_status_id(),   // Subscribed users can see this
        'post_content'      => $my_content,
        'post_title'        => $slug,
        'comment_status'    => 'open',
        'menu_order'        => 0,
        'tax_input'         => $terms  
        );

        // The topic meta.
        $topic_meta = array(
        'forum_id'    => $topic_data['post_parent'],
        'reply_count' => 0
        );

        // NOTICE! Understand what this does before running.
        $post_id = bbp_insert_topic($topic_data, $topic_meta);
        bbp_stick_topic($post_id , true);                         // Making it super sticky !

        echo "The post id returned is " . $post_id;
        echo "Sucessfully inserted the post" . $slug . " programmatically !!!!";

sorry but I am not sure what exactly the issue is.

It would seem that

Without your code you have problem a

and with your code you have problem b

is that it, AND IF SO can you state your problem without the code you added?

[@alamsyed Participant 8 years, 10 months ago]

Ok the issue is simple. Inserting a topic using the code I have shown I can get the correct child-parent relationship into a forum. However the same topic shows up in a different forum other than the parent and that feels like a bug. Without the code, there is no problem at all if the topic is created from the front end.

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 10 months ago]

no sorry I still don’t know what exactly your issue is.

WITHOUT THE CODE – what is the problem?

[@alamsyed Participant 8 years, 10 months ago]

WITHOUT THE CODE – what is the problem ? None !
WITH THE CODE – what is the problem ? Topic shows up in outside parent forum !

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 10 months ago]

I answer q’s across many forums, and don’t have the time to work out what it is trying to do so what’s the purpose of the code then?

[@alamsyed Participant 8 years, 10 months ago]

To insert a topic in a parent forum with given id. But after successful insertion the topic shows up in other forums and doesnt remain inside the parent forum. The code is a standard way to insert a topic in bbpress programmatically.

I am just trying to learn this so I can build my website. Thanks for your attention.

2. https://github.com/rmccue/bbPress/blob/master/bbp-includes/bbp-topic-functions.php etc.

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 10 months ago]

ok, now that you have explained what it is, I understand and can help !

In the code is

 // NOTICE! Understand what this does before running.
        $post_id = bbp_insert_topic($topic_data, $topic_meta);
        bbp_stick_topic($post_id , true);                         // Making it super sticky !

If you had done this – ie Understand what this does before running.
you would have known the answer –

sticky sticks a topic to the top of the forum it belongs in.

super-sticky sticks a topic to the top of all forums

[@alamsyed Participant 8 years, 10 months ago]

Aww. Sorry for asking silly questions. I misunderstood what super sticky means, I thought it makes the topic persistent and fancy in looks 🙂 In my case I only need functionality of sticky and not super sticky. I am still learning all this, so I hope I didn’t annoy you. I am just trying to build my website with no prior experience to web development whatsoever just traditional C++. Thanks again this is resolved I checked it.

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 10 months ago]

no problem – I’m glad you’re fixed !!

We all learn all the time 🙂
