bbPress Statistics Format

Hi Tim,

Thank you for the feedback, really glad you’re finding a use for the plugin!

This was a really difficult part of the plugin to develop as I am passing the data through the normal WordPress Options API, what this means is the data is handled and HTML is stripped – there isn’t a lot of flexibility available here. The functionality is supposed to be used to allow people to customise the wording of the headings, as previously this would require a language override.

If you know how WordPress Filters work, you would want to filter the following:

– bbpas_section_bbpress_stats

This will let you filter the entire section for bbPress Statistics.

At the moment, I haven’t added any API to expose functions for you to grab any relevant data (such as the actual stats, but, you could manipulate the string you get), I was planning it in this release however I didn’t want to release too much in one go (way more potential to go wrong!)

I will try and get the API functionality baked in as soon as possible, for the time being I am afraid you will have to see what is possible with the filter, or hold on until some API functionality is released.

But do bear in mind, the sort of configuration you’re looking for will not be possible in the base plugin – you will need to utilise the API or Filters in order to get the outcome you’d like.

Many thanks,

Jake

Thanks so much for the thoughtful reply! ?? I will go ahead and keep it the default format for the time being. ?? I have a little experience with filters, but this particular goal seems a bit out of my league.

Hi Tim,

That’s not a problem, once the API come out I will post a snippet of code here for you to use on your website that utilises the API.

You rock! Thanks again. ??

Any update on this being a possibility now? ??

Thx,
Tim
