Freshness Display, Tweaking Related Parts Of BBpress.

Thanks both for this and feedback following testing – I’ll take a look at the above – all seems quite sensible.

I’m working on a feature in my private groups plugin, so will be a week or two before I revisit this !

3.) Just found another issue:

“Reply To:” shows up in addition to topic title when there is a reply to that latest topic.

Example: “Reply To: topic title”

So it would be nice to also remove replies from this topics title field, (i.e.: latest topics only, no replies.)

ok so

Issue 1

I am now planning on having a tab to control exactly what this says or does, from hiding it totally to defining what it says, but will be a little while !

In the meantime you could use

https://www.rewweb.co.uk/remove-voices/

to remove it all together?

Issue 2

Yes I had a think about that when developing.

There is no point in putting the title in, as that is just repetition, so I ignored it.

The issue only occurs if you stop displaying everything, otherwise if you display dates and/or authors the column makes sense and is needed.

-Since replies do not have titles, maybe have it display the last user account that has replied?

If you set it to display user, then yes that would show, but of course user would also show on the forum pages, which I think you don’t want.

I’ll have a further think about it !

issue 3

sorry do you mean delete the words ‘Reply to’ or only display the latest topic?

*only display the latest topic.

ok, put this in your functions file

remove_action ( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_freshness_link', 'bsp_freshness_display_title') ;

function rew_freshness_display_title ($forum_id = 0) {
	// Verify forum and get last active meta
	$forum_id  = bbp_get_forum_id( $forum_id );
		$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id( $forum_id );

		if ( bbp_is_topic( $active_id ) ) {
			$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_permalink( $forum_id );
			$title    = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_title( $forum_id );
		} elseif ( bbp_is_reply( $active_id ) ) {
			$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_url( $forum_id );
			$title    = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_title( $forum_id );
		}

		$anchor = '<a href="' . esc_url( $link_url ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title ) . '">' . esc_html( $title ) . '</a>';
		echo $anchor.'<p/>' ;

}

add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_freshness_link', 'rew_freshness_display_title', 100);

Ty but I try to stay away from editing my files because I have no idea what I’m doing ?? It’s no hurry, just my suggestion to make that part of the plugin better.

FYI: your remove voices plugin works for issue 1

Since I’ve worked out the code, I’ve put it into a plugin

so download from here

https://www.rewweb.co.uk/download/display-topic-title/

and then

Dashboard>plugins>add new>upload plugin and upload the .zip file and activate

enjoy !

I owe you one ??
