How to change the user role from Words to image?

How to add a @username like BBPress forum

<?php $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
} ?>

you add this to your loop-single-reply.php template

or put

/**
* Add @mentionname after bbpress forum author details
*/

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'mentionname_to_bbpress' );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
}
}

in your functions file.

Functions files and child themes – explained !

both methods are valid, if you use @robkk’s method, remember to create this as a separate file within your theme

to do the second you need to put the following in your functions file:

//take away the role display
function hide_role ($args) {
$args['show_role'] = false ;
Return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'hide_role') ;

this removes the existing text,

then you’d need to add some image depending on role, so something like

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'add_image' );
function add_image () {
$role = bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) );
if ($role == 'keymaster') {
echo "<img src='/snippet_theme/img/error.gif' title='Error' alt='Error' />"; 
}
if ($role == 'participant') {
etc.
}

This is not tested – sorry but limited time !!

Thanks for super fast help! 🙂
I will try it right now!

[Leonyipa]

It works! And it looks really pretty now!! Thanks 🙂

how do I change the font colour of @username? (e.g. grey like BBPress forum)

[Robkk]

how do I change the font colour of @username?

im going to use my version though , cause i dont know how with the add action version

<p class=bbp-user-nicename><?php $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
} ?></p>

throw this into custom css

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-user-nicename {
font-weight: bold;
color: #888;
display: inline-block;
margin: 0;
}

[Robin W]

basically you’d use the same css as @robkk into your stylsheet, and then the code would be

/**
* Add @mentionname after bbpress forum author details
*/

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'mentionname_to_bbpress' );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo '<p class=bbp-user-nicename>' ;
echo "@".$user_nicename.'</p>' ;
}
}

[Leonyipa]

Thanks, where can I find custom css?

also, can I use;

add_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details’, ‘mentionname_to_bbpress’ );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo ‘<font class=bbp-user-nicename>’ ;
echo “@”.$user_nicename.'</font>’ ;
}
}

use font instead of <p> ? because p will skip a line which makes the name and user role very far away

[Robin W]

ok, put the css in your style.css.

then maybe try this code in your functions.php file

add_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details’, ‘mentionname_to_bbpress’ );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
 $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
 if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
 $user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo '<ul><li><font class=bbp-user-nicename>' ; 
echo “@”.$user_nicename.’</font></li></ul>’ ;
 }
 }
