Hello,

I have a plugin that is used to index search results in to Amazon CloudSearch. I’ve written the below code to exclude private forums from search results. Now I need some code to automatically exclude all topics inside a private forum.

function exclude_private_forums_search() {
	$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
	if (get_post_status($forum_id) == 'private') {
		add_post_meta($forum_id, 'acs_exclude', 1, true );
	} else {
		delete_post_meta($forum_id, 'acs_exclude');
	}
}
add_action('bbp_new_forum', 'exclude_private_forums_search' );
add_action('bbp_edit_forum', 'exclude_private_forums_search' );

Is there anyway I can get a list of topic IDs inside a forum ID?

Running latest version of bbPress and WordPress.

Thanks.

Hello,

Any ideas? Maybe something like this?

<?php echo bbp_get_forum_id(bbp_get_topic_id()); ?>

Thanks.

sorry missed this first time round.

you’ll want bbp_has_topics which you’ll find in

\includes\topics\template.php

line 140

function bbp_has_topics( $args = '' )

you can call it with a forum id eg

<?php $query = bbp_has_topics( array( 'post_parent' => '2579') ); ?>

this will return an array of topics from forum ID 2579 which you can then work with

Hello @robin-w,

I still need to get this straight. Maybe something like this would work?

/*Remove all topics from Amazon CloudSearch if topic is in a private forum*/
/*Private Forums are added as an integration through a plugin*/
/*Amazon CloudSearch is added as integration through a plugin*/
function exclude_topics_in_private_forum() {
$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
$query = bbp_has_topics( array( 'post_parent' => $forum_id) );
foreach($query as $q) {
if(is_private_forum($forum_id) ) {
update_post_meta($q, 'exclude', 1);
} elseif(!is_private_forum($forum_id) ) {
delete_post_meta($q, 'exclude');
}
}
}
add_action('bbp_new_forum', 'exclude_topics_in_private_forum' );
add_action('bbp_edit_forum', 'exclude_topics_in_private_forum' );

It is important to note that I am using custom plugins to pull off a lot of the private forum abilities that way I can control user access better. I think the code snippet above will do it. Thoughts?

Thanks.

You could try bbp_get_all_child_ids(), though it does a direct database query, and has no limit on the results that get returned, so in cases where there are many topics to chug through, it can be a bit much.

Hello,

Okay, I like something that doesn’t query the DB to much. Would something like this work? I’m somewhat new to arrays and post_meta, but trying to learn fast.

/*Remove all topics from Amazon CloudSearch if topic is in a private forum*/
/*Private Forums are added as an integration through a plugin*/
/*Amazon CloudSearch is added as integration through a plugin*/
function exclude_topics_in_private_forum() {
$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
$query = bbp_get_all_child_ids($forum_id, 'post');
foreach($query as $q) {
OR
foreach($query as $key => $q) {
if(is_private_forum($forum_id) ) {
update_post_meta($q, 'exclude', 1);
OR
update_post_meta($key, 'exclude', 1);
} elseif(!is_private_forum($forum_id) ) {
delete_post_meta($q, 'exclude');
}
}
}
add_action('bbp_new_forum', 'exclude_topics_in_private_forum' );
add_action('bbp_edit_forum', 'exclude_topics_in_private_forum' );

How does that look? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

Suggest you try them and see.

looks like you are learning fast.

Looking back on it now, I never did have the development time to make this work before I discontinued CloudSearch, but this looks to be the best code if anyone’s brave enough to try it in the future. 🙂

function exclude_topics_in_private_forum() {
$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
$query = bbp_get_all_child_ids($forum_id, 'post');
foreach($query as $key => $q) {
if(is_private_forum($forum_id) ) {
update_post_meta($key, 'exclude', 1);
} elseif(!is_private_forum($forum_id) ) {
delete_post_meta($q, 'exclude');
}
}
}
add_action('bbp_new_forum', 'exclude_topics_in_private_forum' );
add_action('bbp_edit_forum', 'exclude_topics_in_private_forum' );

Thanks for the help.

It is working perfectly, except that you need to specify the good post type (here it is ‘topic’).

$query = bbp_get_all_child_ids($forum_id, 'topic');
