I’m trying to integrate bbPress with Jetpack Markdown.

The problem I’m having is the formatting of the saved data.

If I leave bbPress as is.The fenced code blocks with the three back-ticks get all screwy. I’ve found this is because of the bbp_code_trick() function on the bbp_new_reply_pre_content filter.

If I remove that filter the fenced code block works, but the inline code doesn’t. Somewhere the & character is being escaped to & and messing everything up. For instance, instead of < it ends up being saved to the database as &<. I cannot find where this is happening.

does this plugin help your situation??

[jawittdesigns]

No, that adds custom post type support by looping through the custom post types using the add_post_type_support() function. I already have that set.

I still haven’t been able to find where the & character conversion is taking place, but I have managed to get it to work.

Here’s the class I’m using

class JPM_BBP_Support {

    /**
     * Initialize the class and set its properties.
     */
    public function __construct() {
        add_action( 'plugins_loaded', array( $this, 'custom_jetpack_markdown_support' ) );
        // Remove the back_code_trick filter
        remove_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content',  'bbp_code_trick',  20 );
        remove_filter( 'bbp_new_topic_pre_content',  'bbp_code_trick',  20 );
        remove_filter( 'bbp_new_forum_pre_content',  'bbp_code_trick',  20 );
        remove_filter( 'bbp_edit_reply_pre_content', 'bbp_code_trick',  20 );
        remove_filter( 'bbp_edit_topic_pre_content', 'bbp_code_trick',  20 );
        remove_filter( 'bbp_edit_forum_pre_content', 'bbp_code_trick',  20 );

        add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', array( $this, 'custom_con_char' ), 6 );
        add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content',  array( $this, 'custom_con_char' ), 6 );
    }

    /**
     * Replace instances of < and >
     * with < and > when pulling the content
     * from the databse to display
     * 
     * @param  string $content the content stored in the database
     * @return string          the formated content
     */
    public function custom_con_char( $content = '' ) {
        $content = str_replace( '<', '<' , $content );
        $content = str_replace( '>', '>' , $content );
        return $content;
    }

    /**
     * Add Markdown support for BBPress Froums
     */
    public function custom_jetpack_markdown_support() {
        add_post_type_support( 'topic', 'wpcom-markdown' );
        add_post_type_support( 'reply', 'wpcom-markdown' );
    }
}

$jmp_bbp_support = new JPM_BBP_Support();

@jawittdesigns

hopefully @netweb or @robin-w will pick this up since they browse the bbpress plugin files way more than i do.

Create a ticket on Trac and we’ll take a look at adding support for Jetpack Markdown

I’ve created a ticket in Trac at the request of @netweb https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2730

Howdy team!

Has there been any new work on getting Markdown working in bbPress?

@jawittdesigns’s plugin seems to have stopped working for me. So now I have these forums that have loads of Markdown content and say that they support Markdown, but don’t.

I’m not entirely sure what to do.

This is an old topic yet it appears resolved on bbPress.

Is this something that could be done for BuddyPress and Markdown?

[Robin W]

suggest you raise in the buddypress support forums

[Allinop]

Have done so

Considering there is some team overlap and proof of concept with bbPress I think it is worth mentioning it here too
