    Hi there

    Thanks so much for creating this plugin – such a necessity for any forum! I am trying to integrate this with Gamipress (a gamification plugin) so that users are awarded points (a) when they upvote something, and (b) when their topic/reply is upvoted.

    Events can be passed to Gamipress via a ‘custom event’ trigger (tutorial and example here: https://gamipress.com/snippets/tutorials/creating-a-custom-event/).

    Looking at the hook that you list on your FAQ, am I right in saying that I won’t be able write something to award points to the user whose topic/reply is being upvoted – just the user that is upvoting the topic/reply?

    I am completely new to writing PHP hooks etc so I would really, really appreciate any guidance or code examples you can hook me up with. Thanks very much in advance!

    This is very doable. Using my bbp_voting_voted hook, you will have the $post_id. With that, you can get the author of that post with this…
    $author_id = get_post_field ('post_author', $post_id);

    Hi Nate

    Thanks – I got this implemented and it seems to trigger nicely!

    • Ideally it should just trigger when upvoting occurs, not when downvoting. Do I still use the same hook, or do you hopefully have an ‘upvoted’ hook?
    • Also, right now if I upvote, downvote and upvote again, I trigger the event 3 times. It should be just the one time (i.e. the first upvote) for any individual topic or reply. Is this possible?

    If you look at my FAQs, it shows that this hook gives you the direction of the vote…

    add_action( 'bbp_voting_voted', 'my_function_on_bbp_vote', 10, 4 );
function my_function_on_bbp_vote( $post_id, $direction, $score, $identifier ) {
    // Do something
    // $post_id will be the ID of the topic or reply that was voted on
    // $direction will be 1 for upvote, -1 for downvote, or 0 for removed vote
    // $score will be the new total score
    // $identifier will be either a numeric user ID or an IP address of a non-logged-in visitor
}
