Is there a hook or action I am missing to add something to the bottom of the contents of a reply when I publish, I don’t mean just show it on a reply but to write it to the table.
I have a custom field that I populate in a topic I want to add it to the end of each reply. I know how to check if it is already there etc.
I want it to write it to the contents so it is passed out with the rss feed to twitter etc.

something like this should do it

add_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content', 'my_function'  );

function my_function ($reply_content) {
$extra_text = 'hello' ;
//append extra text to the end of reply content
$reply_content.= $extra_text ;

return $reply_content ;
}

Hi Robin,

Thank you, if I add that to my functions file, it adds it to a new reply perfectly if I as admin create that new reply.
But it does not work if a guest replies (it is normal for my replies to be from guests) all replies go to moderation and at the moment, before I approve the reply by publishing I add test at the end of each content. It is when I click publish that I want it to add the text.

Regards

Clive

do you have a plugin sending them to moderation ?

[Clivesmith]

No, if I remember rightly, it is set up under settings / discussions to allow anyone to post comments and all go to moderation, no-one can join so all replies are all

[Clivesmith]

Sorry I lied, just found I do have a plugin bbpress moderation tools by digital arm

[Robin W]

so how do you ‘publish’ them

eg dashboard>something>something else

and what is the status of the reply before and after?

[Clivesmith]

In dashboard I see in “all replies” a pending reply.
When I click on edit, in the reply attributes box the status is Pending
I have a publish button

(this is when at the moment I add my text to the contents)

When I publish the Status changes to Publish and the button changes to update

[Robin W]

try this

function waa_content( $content, $post_id ) {
 $extra_text = 'hello' ;
//append extra text to the end of reply content
$content.= $extra_text ;
return content ;
}
  
add_filter( 'content_edit_pre', 'waa_content', 10, 2 );

Many Thanks Robin

I added $ to content on line 5 and it works but it also works on topics and forums, I will add a
if ($post->post_type ==’reply’){

around it, thanks again

Clive

oops must have got the IF wrong, does not work with that

[Robin W]

the $post array does not exist in this function

try

if (get_post_type ($post_id) == bbp_get_reply_post_type() ) {

[Clivesmith]

Just to update, all seems to be working so I thought I would share this. I am sure the coding is bad but it works !!
I am the only one that can create topics, I moderate all replies and want to add to the end of each reply ‘#plasticfree’ and a custom metadata value for each topic that I put in when I create a topic.
This means that the hashtag and twitter name goes out with the RSS feed to tiwtter etc.
Thank you Robin for all your help.

/***   
To add #plasticfree and twitter name to reply
***/

function waa_content( $content, $post_id ){
	// get the topic id 		
	$post_id = get_the_ID();
	$reply_topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $post_id );
	// get value from table
    $twitname = get_post_meta( $reply_topic_id, 'bbp_twitname', true );
	$twithash = '#plasticfree';

	$post = get_post($id);

if ($post->post_type =='reply'){
$pos = strpos($content, '#plasticfree');

    if ($pos == false) {
		$content .= '<br>'. $twithash .' ' .$twitname;
    } 
}
	return $content;
}
add_filter( 'content_edit_pre', 'waa_content', 10, 2 );

code that works is never bad !!
