I don’t have a code for this but basically I’d like to see the pagination of topics ahead of me and the others behind me. For example

Topic 1 link
Topic 2 link
Topic 3 link <----- I'm here
Topic 4 link
Topic 5 link

And once I click on let’s say topic 5 then I’d get:

Topic 3 link
Topic 4 link
Topic 5 link <----- I'm here
Topic 6 link
Topic 7 link

Apologies in advance, I couldn’t get to code this, I don’t know where to start thus the lack of a snippet

[Robin W]

not sure where you want this to show??

[athep]

I want this to show on single-topic’s page

[neon67]

Apparently it’s a blog-type queue. There is a queue by the fresh date when the post was written.

And how want you – by the most recent topic or the most recent comment?

[athep]

I made the list

<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'topic', 'post_parent' => bbp_get_forum_id() ); $loop = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
 <a href="<?php echo get_the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php endwhile;?>

This gives me all the topics under the current topic’s forum (I’m on single-topic.php)

Is there a way I could limit the list to 5 links (that’s easy, post_per_page = 5) but on top of that only show the adjacent posts?

Topic 3 link
Topic 4 link
Topic 5 link <----- I'm here
Topic 6 link
Topic 7 link

In the above example, it’s showing me 2 previous adjacent posts and to next adjacent posts

What happens is if I set post_per_page to 5 then this happens

Topic 1 link
Topic 2 link
Topic 3 link 
Topic 4 link
Topic 5 link <----- I'm here

The current link is always last, I realized this is more of a wordpress question but I’d like to try my luck here since I already opened a thread

[Robin W]

@athep – have you solved this ?

[athep]

I think I got timed out, not sure if my reply was deleted.

I haven’t solved it yet, I did find two promising threads though but I couldn’t make sense of it.

• WordPress show next 3 x number adjacent custom posts from existing
• Show multiple next and previous posts

[Robin W]

just had a quick look

this should get you close, totally untested !!

<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'topic', 'post_parent' => bbp_get_forum_id() ); 
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
//get the current topic id or maybe depending in where you are putting this - bbp_get_reply_topic_id or bbp_get_reply_id()
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id() ;
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); 
	$cur_id = get_the_ID();
	if ($cur == $topic_id)  {
		$prev = get_previous_post() ;
		$prev_id = $prev->ID ;
		$next = get_next_post();
		$next_id = $next->ID ;
	break ;
	}
endwhile;
//so you now have $cur_id, $prev_id and $next_id
//so create 3 lines
if (!empty ($prev_id)) {
	$permalink = get_permalink($prev_id) ;
	$title = get_the_title ($prev_id) ;
	echo '<a href="'.$permalink.'">'.$title.'</a>' ;
}
if (!empty ($cur_id)) {
	$permalink = get_permalink($cur_id) ;
	$title = get_the_title ($cur_id) ;
	echo '<a href="'.$permalink.'">'.$title.'</a>' ;
}
if (!empty ($next_id)) {
	$permalink = get_permalink($next_id) ;
	$title = get_the_title ($next_id) ;
	echo '<a href="'.$permalink.'">'.$title.'</a>' ;
}
?>

Thank you Robin,

I tried this, I was inserting this in single-topic.php so I was not sure which one would work.

$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id() ; works well, the only issue is that once it nears the end, the other forums start leaking in, if prev or next is empty they leak in

Otherwise it’s working as expected, also I fixed if ($cur == $topic_id) { to if ($cur_id == $topic_id) {

[Robin W]

hmmm…not sure about the ‘leak in’ bit, how are lines being displayed if $prev etc. is blank?

you could add a check

so set

$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id() ;

above the while statement and then check at the appropriate point

if (wp_get_post_parent_id($prev_id)  != $forum_id) {
etc.
}

[athep]

I set $forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id() ;

and change these two

if (!empty ($prev_id) && wp_get_post_parent_id($prev_id) == $forum_id) {

and

if (!empty ($next_id) && wp_get_post_parent_id($next_id) == $forum_id) {

Notice the equal sign, that solved the problem!

Thank you so much Robin!

EDIT:

The last topic links in every forum somehow get left behind, only the last ones.. I’ll tinker around and post my findings

[Robin W]

great, and yes please post the completed functioning code once you have got it working !!
