Hey,

I may just be missing something, but is there any way to get all of the topics a user interacted with?

I know “if ( bbp_get_user_topics_started() ) :” gets the posts the user created, but is there something similar for replied to?

I’d ideally want two different pages (My Posts & My Replies) but I’d be fine if I can only get all the topics a user was active in (started or joined).

Thanks.

I`m not sure how familiar you are with WordPress and PHP, I consider myself a novice in PHP but well-versed in WordPress. It might be a bit technical and it might be the wrong way to do things, but here is how I quickly put it together.

Open functions.php in your theme.
Add the following function to the file (within the PHP tags):

function bbp_get_user_replies( $user_id = 0 ) {

// Validate user
$user_id = bbp_get_user_id( $user_id );
if ( empty( $user_id ) )
    return false;

// Query defaults
$default_query = array(
    'author'         => $user_id,
    'show_stickies'  => false,
    'order'          => 'DESC',
);

// Try to get the topics
$query = bbp_has_replies( $default_query );
if ( empty( $query ) )
    return false;

return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_user_replies', $query, $user_id );
}

Then to list the replies just add to whatever page you want to list them:

As you can see this is basically the same code as the bbp_get_user_topics_started function, just modified to get the replies instead.

If anyone have a better solution I`d love to hear it.

Sorry, somehow the code did not output even if it looked like it would in the preview. Trying again:

Then to list the replies just add to whatever page you want to list them:

if ( bbp_get_user_replies() ) : 
   bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); 
   bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'replies' ); 
   bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); 
endif;

Remember to add the correct PHP tags before and after each line. Also included pastie with the entire post: Pastie with code

Hey,

I did what you suggested, which is in essence just repeating the bbp_get_user_topics_started() function. However, I was not able to get this to output (I created a user-topics-replied.php file and used this for the replies loop, but it keeps outputting the “You have not replied to any topics” message I added in case it was empty.

Were you able to get this to output?

When I asked the question, I was wondering if there was anything built into bbPress 2.x that did something similar. I noticed another topic called “User Replied To?” but there was no answers.

Its output was as expected using the replies loop, I assume you copied my function (there are some minor changes from bbp_get_user_topics_started)? Also, did you add the function to functions.php? Lastly, could you link a pastie.org of your user-topics-replied.php file?

Just thought of something, could you check if the $user_id variable outputs the correct value? For example by doing a printf on the user variable on the same page you are trying to render the output.
