oh sorry, i forgot to include the register widget hook

function my_register_widgets_init() {
add_action(‘widgets_init’, create_function(”, ‘return register_widget(“Whatever_You_Named_It_Latest_Topics_Widget”);’) );
}
add_action( ‘bp_register_widgets’, ‘my_widgets_init’, 15 );

regards to the drop down… the group loop (in theme forums/index.php) which only displays public groups needs another || check for: groups_is_user_member( $bp->loggedin_user->id, bp_get_group_id() ) but if you disable bbPress buddypress component you won’t be able to post any forum topics 😉 though, if a family site – why not lock down the entire…[Read more]

you have to activate the widget under wp-admin > appearance > widgets (drag it to the sidebar)

Things have slowed up (trac-wise) and I have noticed less activity on the boards (from Andy too) but it is hard to assume what happens within a company and allocation of resources.

just like before – if you are within the topic loop the template will have the scope

$topic_template->post->poster_id

for group admin and group mod?

built into bp-core:
function groups_is_user_admin( $user_id, $group_id )
function groups_is_user_mod( $user_id, $group_id )

BUT
those statements will ping the database each time and is not wp_cached

it seems you only have one group setup (which is private) so is the forum enabled for that group?

what is available:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-groups-loop/

but doesn’t seem to have the same include option as the other loops (where you pass a string of comma separated ids)

you may need to code something up and just call groups_get_group for each one

works for me… in fact i style the first li on my sites: <li id=”post-<?php bp_the_topic_post_id() ?>” <?php if (my_forum_is_first_post() ) echo ‘class=”first”‘; ?>> buddypress does not use the same bbpress functions and overrides the majority of the features *i really hate we can’t post code here – @apeatling please add the functionality (or…[Read more]

wp-admin > appearance > widgets

i posted it here (easier to see the code)
http://etivite.com/groups/buddypress/forum/topic/quick-tip-widget-display-latest-topics-from-group-forums/#topic

well the easiest way is to just extract the snippet and replace a line of code

open up
bp-forum-extras-index.php

place this class BP_Forum_Extras_Index_Latest_Topics_Widget extends WP_Widget into the bp-custom.php file

then replace the line
if ( bp_forum_extras_blogs_component() )
with
if ( $bp->forums->slug == $bp->current_component )

well the “action” is where the username is displayed but that contains the entire “title” of the activity stream. ( thisuser posted an update: )

but you could use bp_get_activity_user_id() in the loop and reference one of the bp_core get username functions

i believe @3sixty created a plugin (or posted code – have to search for it) to record the user’s last viewed post

correct, under the forum index sub-plugin. (you can set the max topics)

it calls bp_has_forum_topics so if viewed from a group page or profile page – it will filter for those components as well.

IIRC within BP – the BB config file is also stored in the meta table ( $bp->forums->bbconfig = $bp->site_options; )
