i want to only display user role on keymaster and moderators users.

I dont want every participant to have the role shown , only the keymaster and moderators are important enough to me to show their role next to their avatar.

How would i do that??

im just using this code to display the users role

<div class=reply-author-role><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?></div>

untested but the following bar typos should work – add to your functions file

function role_show () {
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $user_id );
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster() ||$role == 'bbp_moderator')  $args['show_role'] = true ;
else $args['show_role'] = false ;
return $args ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'role_show' ) ;

@robin-w the code doesnt work for me

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 4 months ago]

ok, i’ll load it on my test site

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 4 months ago]

wasn’t setting who the user was ! Try

function role_show () {
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user) ||$role == 'bbp_moderator')  $args['show_role'] = true ;
else $args['show_role'] = false ;
return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'role_show' ) ;

@robin-w

ok this works great when i tryed it on a default theme.

but on my custom bbpress theme , i seperated each item in the bbp_get_reply_author_link code and wrapped them in a class so i could better position each item.

so im using

<div class=bbp-reply-author-av><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => 'avatar' ) ); ?></div>

<div class=bbp-reply-author-name><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => 'name' ) ); ?></div>

<div class=reply-author-role><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?></div>

now i have 3 avatars, 3 author links, 3 author roles displaying on 1 reply now.

how should the code be if i dont want to mess with the args and i just want to display this..

<div class=reply-author-role><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?></div>

if the display user in the reply is only a keymaster and a moderator.

something kind of like this but where it actually works for my bbpress custom theme.

<?php 
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user) ||$role == 'bbp_moderator');

 echo " <div class=\"reply-author-role\">";
	
	echo bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) );
	
	echo "</div>";
	
        else {

}
?>

ok @robin-w i got it where it just shows for keymaster but how do i add moderator

heres what i have

<?php 
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user)  ) {

 echo " <div class=\"reply-author-role\">";
	
	echo bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) );
	
	echo "</div>";
	
         }
        else {

}
?>

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 4 months ago]

yes that’ll do it, put the ‘or’ in and it should be fine eg

<?php 
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user)  || $role == 'bbp_moderator'  ) {

 echo " <div class=\"reply-author-role\">";
	
	echo bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) );
	
	echo "</div>";
	
         }
        else {

}
?>

The || is an ‘or’ argument, so the if line says ‘if user is keymaster or (||) moderator’ then…

The else is not really needed, as I presume you’ll do nothing, as you only want it to display if…

Come back and let us known that it worked.

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 4 months ago]

@robin-w yeah worked great , and i will use the (||) if i want to add a special user role later , and yeah i took off the else too.

Thank you.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 4 months ago]

Great – glad you’re fixed !

This works for me :

function role_show () {
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user) ||$role == 'bbp_moderator')  $args['show_role'] = true ;
else $args['show_role'] = false ;
return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'role_show' )

BUT

It removes the avatar from showing and the “last post by” name, on the Forums topic post lists. How can I fix this ?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 1 month ago]

try

function role_show ($args) {

as your first line

@robin-w

Hi, no this does not work :

function role_show ($args) {
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user) ||$role == 'bbp_moderator')  $args['show_role'] = true ;
else $args['show_role'] = false ;
return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'role_show' )

This is a screen shot of that result :

@izzyian

you just do it like how i did it.

by editing the template loop-single-reply.php that was in my bbpress folder in my child theme

separate the role from the rest of the bbp_reply_author_link

like this

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => false ) ); ?>

<?php 
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user)  || $role == 'bbp_moderator'  ) {
	
	echo bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) );
	
         }
?>
