Hi there I am not sure if this has been asked before but seems like something that would be really useful. I want to give users the option of choosing a priority for their new post.

How can I do this?

Thank you

Chris

In what scenarios would this be useful??

Are you talking about a support status??

If it is not for a topic supports status, this could be custom development.

[chjcoughlan]

Yes for support ticket status. I’ve looked at some of the support forum plugins but they don’t offer this. Seems relatively simple to me…
Maybe tags could be utilised as a set dropdown option?

It is possible to add custom statuses with this plugin.

Here is an example gist file.

Here is example for Urgent.

function your_custom_status( $allstatus = array() ) {
	$allstatus['topic-working-on-it'] = array(
		'sb-caption'   => __( 'Urgent', 'buddy-bbpress-support-topic' ),
		'value'        => 3,
		'prefix-title' => __( '[Urgent] ', 'buddy-bbpress-support-topic' ),
		'admin_class'  => 'urgent',
		'dashicon'     => array( 'class' => 'bpbbpst-dashicons-warning', 'content' => '"\f534"' ),
	);
	return $allstatus;
}
add_filter( 'bpbbpst_get_support_status', 'your_custom_status', 10, 1 );

Great. thanks for this.

I tried adding the code to my functions.php file but it didnt work. Do I need to do something special with it?

[chjcoughlan]

Sorry figured it out 🙂

[chjcoughlan]

Nope its still not showing an option when I go to write a new post….

[chjcoughlan]

Just to clarify I want the user to be able to set the status on the front end when they are posting a new topic.
That code worked but only lets me do it from the back end
