I’m having trouble outputting specific topic counts for individual forums into Google’s Geochart. I want to have the total topic count listed on the map for each region (each forum). I use the following code to try and print the value, but I know I’m missing something (limited PHP/Javascript experience). Please take a look below, what do I need to add in order to get the value to output?

<?php function my_geochart_script() {
        
   echo '<script type="text/javascript">
   google.load("visualization", "1", {"packages": ["geochart"]});
   google.setOnLoadCallback(drawRegionsMap);
 
   function drawRegionsMap() {
        var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
                ["Country", "Popularity"],
                ["Canada", <?php bbp_forum_topic_count( '23196' ); ?>],
                ["Japan", <?php bbp_forum_topic_count( '23190' ); ?>],
        ]);
 
        var options = {backgroundColor:{fill:"transparent"}};
 
        var chart = new google.visualization.GeoChart(document.getElementById("chart_div"));
        chart.draw(data, options);
   };
   </script>';
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_geochart_script' );

Any help would be much much appreciated! Thank you.

Try bbp_get_forum_topic_count() instead, this ‘gets’ the value, without the ‘get’ using bbp_forum_topic_count() it tries to output the value.
