Hi,

Is there a way of getting a user’s favorites to display without on a forum page other than /profile/#/favorite ?

I’ve looked at the code but I don’t want to dig too deeply into it as I’m sure it will change a lot during the next year.

Basically what I want to do is create a unified profile page, which has been possible with everything except favorites.

See http://www.surrealroad.com/forum/1 if this doesn’t make sense

Has anyone figer this out?

Looking in “favourites.php”, right in the root of BBpress (so its not hidden), i found this:

$topics = get_user_favorites( $user->ID, true );

I’d use that and output the array, but then again, i’d not have bumped 2 different 2 year old threads, let alone doing it before looking in the file cunningly named Favourites.php

Thanks, but how can i put this in my template?

[@kevinjohngallagher Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

Two ways:

1) It’s an array, so just cycle through it and output the bits you want, this will allow you to style it as you please. If you’re unsure of what it returns use: print_r($topics);

2) Alternatively, you could just copy all 3 lines from the Favourites.php file:

$topics = get_user_favorites( $user->ID, true );

$favorites_total = isset($user->favorites) ? count(explode(‘,’, $user->favorites)) : 0;

bb_load_template( ‘favorites.php’, array(‘favorites_total’) );

This will output the favourites in the way you’ve described in your template folder.

==========================================

At the end of the day, BBpress has a number of issues, but if it can already do something, all you really need to do is copy and paste the code

Sorry, a bit of a PHP Noob, if I insert the following code in my template:

$topics = get_user_favorites( $user->ID, true );

$favorites_total = isset($user->favorites) ? count(explode(‘,’, $user->favorites)) : 0;

bb_load_template( ‘favorites.php’, array(‘favorites_total’) );

I get an error

What error do you get mate?

Was that snippet of code wrapped in <?php tags ?>?

<?php

$topics = get_user_favorites( $user->ID, true );

$favorites_total = isset($user->favorites) ? count(explode(',', $user->favorites)) : 0;

bb_load_template( 'favorites.php', array('favorites_total') );

?>

Nope didn’t work, i got the entire website loading serveral times in my sidebar where i put the following code:

<?php

$topics = get_user_favorites( $user->ID, true );

$favorites_total = isset($user->favorites) ? count(explode(',', $user->favorites)) : 0;

bb_load_template( 'favorites.php', array('favorites_total') );

?>

Like i said, i got the entire website loading serveral times in my sidebar where i put the code.

[@kevinjohngallagher Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

The entire website?

So it’s going in an infinte loop?

Please, be less specific, don’t post any code, oooh and don’t include a screenshot. Guessing is a really worth while use of my time
