Sub-Forum Freshness info on Forum index page

[Chris Barrett]

I know this isn’t directly bbPress Private groups support, but as you have a much better handle on bbPress, I thought I would ask before beginning the codex review.

On the bbPress Forum page, we have a list of forums with sub-forums. We would like the sub-forums to also show the topics, posts, and freshness information:

Forum               Topics       Posts       Freshness
Forum 1             50           100         1 day, 12 hours, 2 minutes
   Sub Forum1       20           10          4 days, 11 hours, 1 minute
   Sub Forum2       20           40          11 hours, 1 minute
   Sub Forum3       20           5           2 days, 3 hours, 10 minute
   Sub Forum4       20           45          3 hours, 10 minute

Currently, the user needs to click on “Forum 1” to go to the sub-forum index to see the Freshness.

Cheers!

load my style pack

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

and have a look at settings>extras – there’s a different forum layout that comes close to that.

And if you know php, you could probably amend that template to get an exact match – if you do, in the spirit of sharing, send to to me and I’ll add it to the plugin as another extra !

Nothing heard – marking as resolved

[Chris Barrett]

Haha. You run a pretty short timebox window, my friend…

Thanks for the info. I did read your response. Site owners don’t want to add additional plugins, so no go. However, I’ll share anything I find interesting with you. ??

The 3 days of Robin is what I apply everywhere. If nobody comes back to me after 3 days, it’s not urgent or important, so switch to things higher on the priority list. Email unread of 3 days old: forget about them. Etc.

Chris,

you don’t have to use the plugin (although it’s damn fine!) , the template is held within it, along with instructions.

[Chris Barrett]

Sweet. Thanks. I’ll check it out over the next week, but I’ll be sure to come back every two days to bump the thread. ??

Maybe useful to others. As part of the site, we run buddyPress to administer extended profiles, private messages, notifications, etc… buddyPress connection to bbPress is turned off and we don’t allow the creation of buddyPress groups.

An issue we had was that when users were signed into the private forums and logged out, after the session was terminated, they were directed back to the private forum (that they could no longer access) resulting in a confusing 404 error.

The solution was to redirect to home:

add_action( 'wp_logout', 'redirect_on_logout_to_home' );
function redirect_on_logout_to_home() {
  wp_redirect( home_url() );
  exit();
}
