    I am trying to pass on the recipients email in the topic or reply urls in the notification email. for instance, the user with the email, [email protected], should get something like the following in his notification mail

    https://www.testsite.com/forums/topic/for-testing/[email protected]

    I tried this but did not work :

    add_filter( ‘bbpnns_filter_email_body_for_user’, ‘my_filter_email_body_for_user’,10,3 );
    function my_filter_email_body_for_user($body, $user_info, $type, $post_id, $forum_id )
    {
    $this_email= $user_info->user_email;
    $topic_url=$topic_url.”?recipient_email=”.$this_email;
    $body = str_replace( ‘[topic-url]’, $topic_url, $body );
    return $body;
    }

    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    The problem is that you’re trying to replace [topic-url] after it has already been replaced. Also, you’re appending the recipient email to $topic_url which is not one of the parameters passed.

    This is what you need to do:

    1. Load the topic/reply URL from the database using the $type variable to know which type it is.
    2. Create a copy of the $url you just loaded which you’ll append the email to.
    3. Use add_query_arg() to append the email to the copy
    4. Use the original variable in the str_replace() call, replacing it with the new url.

      5. Cheers,

    Vinny, Thanks for fast reply. I’ve managed to get it working using a combination of bbpnns_reply_url and bbpnns_filter_email_body_for_user using a placholder.

    Here’s an idea (which is probably what you did) – ditch bbpnns_reply_url altogether and use a custom tag instead. Say [user-url], and replace it with the right one in bbpnns_filter_email_body_for_user.

    Yes it worked for both the topics and replies.
    – Topics notification will be email to all subscribers which works wonderfully.
    – However, for replies, I like it to be emailed only to those who either subscribed to the forum, the topic or those who ask to be emailed on replies. How do I do this? Can I filter the list and have it replace those in the subscriber role? There was some earlier discussion but I could not find a solution as yet. Thanks again.

    You don’t need to use any filters, just select the Override Subscriptions option and deselect the role. That’ll make bbpnns work only for those who have subscribed to the topic/forum.

    That exactly what I’ve been looking for. Many thanks. Super.
