Hi,

Would it be possible to create a shortcode which returns the subscribe/unsubscribe link for a given forum ? The end result would be something along the lines of:

[bbp-subscribe-link forum_id=’557′]

The returned link would display “Subscribe” or “Unsubscribe” depending on the current state of subscription.

This would allow a little more flexibility in placement of the link in the top part of a page with the forum embedded.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dennis

If you have a WordPress.com account, then you can use that or you can create a free account. Once you have connected Jetpack to WordPress.com, you need to visit Appearance » Widgets. Drag and drop Blog Subscriptions (Jetpack) widget to a sidebar and then click on Save button store your widget settings.

Hi simjonna,

Thanks for your reply. I think you have misunderstood my question. What I am looking for is the code to create a shortcode which returns the subscribe/unsubscribe link. It would be added to my theme’s functions.php and look something like this:

function bp_subscribe_shortcode() {	
  ... logic to create a URL to subscribe, unsubscribe...
} 
add_shortcode( 'bbp-subscribe-link', 'bp_subscribe_shortcode' );

It would accept one input: the ID of the forum, e.g.:

[bbp-subscribe-link forum_id=’557′]

It can then be placed in a page or a post etc.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Dennis

for

[bbp-subscribe-link forum_id=’557′]

this code (untested) should be close

function bp_subscribe_shortcode($attr) {	
//must have a forum_id or we just return !
  if (empty( $attr['forum_id'])) return	;
  else $args['forum_id'] = $attr['forum_id'];
  echo bbp_forum_subscription_link($args) ;
} 

add_shortcode( 'bbp-subscribe-link', 'bp_subscribe_shortcode' );

coma back if that doesn’t work and you can’t fix it

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the suggested code. I tried it but it keeps returning nothing when specifying an existing forum ID. I checked that $attr contains the specified forum_id, but am unsure on how to troubleshoot bbp_forum_subscription_link().

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dennis
