Show topics based on custom field
-
After moving my bilingual 200,000 posts forum from Woltlab to bbPress, I realized, that the completely English forum with English forum descriptions etc. is too difficult for some of the German members, so I would like to somehow filter the German topics.
Already before importing, I created a custom field bbp_language and when creating the topic, they can chose a language, so that in the topic overview, you can see either of the flags – see http://deppheads.com/forums/new-posts/
With qTranslate, I can add German Forum descriptions, but maybe there is an easier possibility with just adding such a field to the Forum descriptions, not the whole site. I will have to write a little custom fields plugin for that.
I have no idea yet, how to set the language…if to display one language only or all – if it is in the profile, Cookie, if it is a little extra-URL like /de/ or a drop down?!?
My bigger problem is, how can I make, in the sub forums, that only threads with German or only English threads will be shown? Is there some filter / hook that I can use?
Any file or function or short code?
Like in „normal WordPress“ it would be<?php query_posts('meta_key=bbp_language&meta_value=German‘); ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
