Creating New Topics

Try adding this – needs first certain plugin installed and a menu.

echo '<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".open-forum-list").click(function() {
var x0 = document.getElementsByClassName("forum-list2a")[0];
x0.style.display = (x0.style.display === 'none') ? "block" : "none";})	
})
</script>';
echo '<div class="forum-list2a forum-list-container forum-list extra-windows" style="display:none;">';
echo do_shortcode('[do_widget id=nav_menu-X]');
echo '</div>

;

@tapiohuuhaa

needs first certain plugin installed

?

I mentioned that before: Widgets for shortcodes. It creates this kinds of shorcodes:

“[do_widget id=nav_menu-X]”

Those can be put in any pages, inside text widgets or they can be used in action or filter hooks by using do_shortcode function.

Understood.

@tapiohuuhaa Thanks for your patience.

1/ I created a test menu and added a couple of forum items to the list with the #new_post.

2/ I dragged the menu into a Navigation Menu widget and put it in my footer to test.

3/ I installed the AMR plugin and dragged the width into that area. I could see the prompt telling me what the shortcode would be for using it.

Now, you mentioned:

Then you put into your own code to a suitable place
echo do_shortcode(‘[do_widget id=nav_menu-X]’);

I am not sure where the suitable place is. Once I get the mechanics right I can do a fuller test menu.

Sorry for not grasping it all in one hit!

the echo which relates with the menu is inside the container DIV as you can see it in my example code in https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/creating-new-topics/#post-12180597

The code is not exactly correct, because after the last <div> there should be

‘;

but bbPress interpreted “‘” as termination of CODE tags. Using CODE tag is very unreliable with bbPress because bbPress converts CODE tags as “`”. Those can go into unwanted places. Frustrating trying to creat valid CODE block.

Didn’t need any of this! There is createtopic short code that includes the drop down list of forums in the standard form!

Easy as chips.

Hi! I am so ashamed to admit I don’t know how to even create a Topic to ask for help! Can someone please assist me? I am new to the web design world – I can be reached at [email protected].
