Add New Topic Link Issue

Thanks for posting this.

I’m not seeing this on my test site, can you post a link/url to your site, and in particular to a forum page showing this, so that I can see what it is sending to the browser.

Well I don’t want to leave it live on my site, but here’s the html code I pulled from Firebug:

<div class="entry-content" itemprop="text">
<div id="bbpress-forums">
<div class="bbp-breadcrumb">
<p>
<a class="bbp-breadcrumb-home" href="REDACTED">Home</a>
<span class="bbp-breadcrumb-sep">?</span>
<a class="bbp-breadcrumb-root" href="REDACTED">Forums</a>
<span class="bbp-breadcrumb-sep">?</span>
<a class="REDACTED">REDACTED</a>
<span class="bbp-breadcrumb-sep">?</span>
<span class="bbp-breadcrumb-current">Public Discussion</span>
</p>
</div>
<span id="subscription-toggle">
<span id="subscribe-113">
<a class="subscription-toggle" rel="nofollow" data-forum="113" href="REDACTED">Subscribe</a>
</span>
</span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="#topic">Create New Topic</a>
</div>
<a href="#topic">
<div class="bbp-pagination">
<div class="bbp-pagination-count"> Viewing 8 topics - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) </div>
<div class="bbp-pagination-links"> </div>
</div>
</a>
<ul id="bbp-forum-113" class="bbp-topics">
<a href="#topic">
<li class="bbp-header">
<ul class="forum-titles">
<li class="bbp-topic-title">Topic</li>
<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count">Voices</li>
<li class="bbp-topic-reply-count">Posts</li>
<li class="bbp-topic-freshness">Last Activity</li>
</ul>
</li>
</a>

hi elucidateTX, thanks for posting that.

I’m a bit confused !

You say

but now Topics, Voices, Posts and Freshness are all now also links.

but the html just has

<li class=”bbp-topic-title”>Topic
<li class=”bbp-topic-voice-count”>Voices
<li class=”bbp-topic-reply-count”>Posts
<li class=”bbp-topic-freshness”>Last Activity

which clearly aren’t links.

Can you explain a bit more?

Okay more explanation. So to add the Create a New Topic link, it looks like you’re adding:

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="#topic">Create New Topic</a>
</div>

So it’s a link with a url of “#topic”. Perfect. But also note this same link is getting added two more times…which I don’t think is intended.

The first extra instance is around the pagination stuff here:

<a href="#topic">
<div class="bbp-pagination">
<div class="bbp-pagination-count"> Viewing 8 topics - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) </div>
<div class="bbp-pagination-links"> </div>
</div>
</a>

The second extra instance is around the title stuff here:

<a href="#topic">
<li class="bbp-header">
<ul class="forum-titles">
<li class="bbp-topic-title">Topic</li>
<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count">Voices</li>
<li class="bbp-topic-reply-count">Posts</li>
<li class="bbp-topic-freshness">Last Activity</li>
</ul>
</li>
</a>

great – thanks for that and I can now see the issue.

I’m afraid it will be a few days before I can fix, and I’m earning real money on other stuff.

But I will come back to it shortly.

now fixed jn version 2.0 – thanks for your useful post on this – lots of great detail that let me quickly find the problem !
