I’ve changed the loop-single-forum.php template file so that the frontpage contains all the forums on a single page. It look like this.

I’m also trying to implement a plugin called bbPress Unread Posts v2. It’s placing an icon before every forum title to notify the user when new posts/topics have been made in a forum.

As you can see in the template I’m firing bbp_list_forums() to list the forums. However this function does not fire the action bbp_theme_before_forum_title which means a plugin won’t affect these lists of forums.

I can imagine I need a manual way to list all forums so I can fire a do_action. But how would I be able to do that?

No one can help me out on this?

Hi Rourke,
Not sure I understand your question, but if you want to list all forums, this is a loop I have in one of my plugins:

	if ( bbp_has_forums() ) {
		while ( bbp_forums() ) {
			bbp_the_forum();
			$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
			$forums_title = bbp_get_forum_title($forum_id);
			array_push($all_forums_ids, $forum_id);
			<...>
			// Check for subforums (first level only)
			if ($sublist = bbp_forum_get_subforums($forum_id)) {
				$all_subforums = array();
				foreach ( $sublist as $sub_forum ) {
					<...>
				}
			}					
			$i++;
		} // while
	} // if

Hope it gets you in the right direction,
Pascal.

I say since I think you are trying to set up hiarchal forum and category layout, insert this loop-forums.php file into your child theme instead of what you did.

https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout/blob/master/loop-forums.php

If you want to try to add the hook into the bbp_list_forums() function, you have to filter the output put the hook before every list item.

bbp_list_forums

Thanks guys!

@robkk That’s exactly what I was looking for. It has a nice proper forum layout 🙂
And my plugins hook on it great!
