Add the function post_pick() and the filter (in the first post of this thread) to your functions.php file in your child theme. Obviously, you’ll need to change the paths and text to suit your needs.

Yay! thanks ??

Brilliant! Thanks, Boris, this is EXACTLY what I was asking for. Works great too. Thanks again.

p.s. I wonder if this email confirmation check could also help fight robot sign-ups and spam?

The question is WHY doesn’t wpForo support bbcode? It is a basic staple of any good forum. This could be putting off many potential wpForo customers from considering wpForo.

Agreed, Very important, but for some reason the Foro team think it is not! Also smileys.

I’m not talking about a ‘valid’ email, I’m talking about a user inputting their own email incorrectly and registering with an incorrect email address thus never getting their activation email.

I mean a 2nd email input field that checks the two email fields agree with each other and thows a warning ’emails don’t match’ error.

Surely it wouldn’t be hard to implement? even if it were possible to create an ’email validation’ via edit forms.

UPDATE: yep, it looks like it was the path that was not working when viewing posts on subsequent pages.

from
$filename = "picks/list/$post->ID.txt";
to
$filename = "/[absoloute_path]/picks/list/$post->ID.txt";
I changed the link to the file to an absolute path and it looks to be working now on all pages. Yay!

thanks for the help.

Okay, after testing with pagination off/on I can say that the word ‘picks’ ONLY shows on the first page. I had a post with the ‘pick’ showing on the first page. I then paginated so the same post would show on the 2nd page and that same post no longer displayed the ‘picks’ text.

I conclude that perhaps there should be a global or a setting/something that is present on the first page but not on subsequent pages.

If I have half a dozen post on the first page with the picks text showing correctly, those same posts don’t show the picks text if I set it so they paginate on the 2nd page.

Any ideas?

could it be the path?
/picks/list/$post->ID.txt”;

what could I try regarding the path?

Okay! How about if I offer payment for help?
not sure of the going rate and how long a tweak like this would take a pro (probably 10 mins) but I really would like to find a solution to this problem.

let me know.

Still totally stumped by this problem (see above). Can ANYONE offer some help on joining those two WordPress tables (wp-posts & wp-comments together?

Please?
thanks

Good to know. Thanks for the update.

Great. Thanks for the reply.

So, to clarify (because I think my post was a bit ambiguous):

I want to say to the database:

“Select ALL the posts from wp-post-table for the current user. Now select all the comments & comment_authors from wp-comments-table that have commented on the current user’s posts but are NOT comments by the current user”

“Return a list of ALL the comments from the current user’s posts apart from the comments made by the current user.”

Thanks

Thanks. Got it now.
