Notify for a Specified Forum?

[wallacelin]

Hello, I’m using bbPress and Boss theme to build a website with two forums: Community and Support. I’d like to send an email notification to admins/mods only when a new topic is created in Support. Is it possible to specify one forum in multiples for notifications?

Hi @wallacelin,

You can achieve that by hooking into bbpress_topic_notify_recipients, effectively removing all recipients if the forum_id doesn’t match the one you want.

This is the filter call:

apply_filters( 'bbpress_topic_notify_recipients', $recipients, $topic_id, $forum_id );

Thanks for the answer Vinny! My support forum ID is 996, so I’ll add apply_filters( 'bbpress_topic_notify_recipients', $recipients, $topic_id, 996 ); to my theme’s functions.php.

Nope. That’s what the plugin calls. You’ll have to add the following to your functions.php to hook into it:

add_filter('bbpress_topic_notify_recipients', 'my_whitelist_forum_notification', 10000, 3);
function my_whitelist_forum_notification($recipients, $topic_id, $forum_id)
{
	if ( 996 !== (int) $forum_id )
	{
		$recipients = array();
	}
	
	return $recipients;
}

Cheers,
Vinny

Ahh righto don’t know what I was thinking (or rather not thinking). Thank you once again!
