Two part question here…would love any suggestions or insight. I’m working on coding some custom functions to enhance bbedit functionality.

Part 1:

I would like to add some post meta to a new reply. What would be the appropriate hook/action location in which to do this? I can get the postid at this point and add postmeta, but not sure where to hook into things.

Part 2:

At the location in Part 1, how would I go about getting the parent forum id? It seems as though the reply form has the topic postid…so I’ve got that. But how do I find the parent forum?

Thank you so much!

Part 1

The form is held in

bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

you’ll see several do_action hooks you could use, or indeed you could amend this template and save it in your theme as a new version.

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-reply.php
and bbpress will use this instead.

Most of the template used in bbpress are held in

bbpress/templates/default/bbpress so hunt around in there for topic forms, profiles etc.

Part 2

` $forum_id = bbp_get_reply_forum_id($post_id);
`
