Great 🙂

After kicking this around, I found that

add_filter( ‘tiny_mce_before_init’, ‘cac_enable_mentions_in_group_forum_tinymce’, 10, 2 );

is never fired, presume this is an order thing.

After some further research, I created a small plugin that has some much of the above, but also some js that executes for the visual version.

@r-a-y

I know this is an old thread, but I can’t get your excellent code working for tinymce on topic/reply front end.

Works fine in tinymce on backend, Works fine for textarea on front end, but not timymce on front end. I need it working on frontend in forums.

Is there a more up to date version that works with current bp and bbp, or do you have any ideas how to get it working.

the code I am using is

/**
 * Enable at-mention autocomplete on BuddyPress group forum textareas.
 */
function my_enable_mentions_in_group_forum_textareas( $retval ) {
	$bbpress = false;

	// Group forum reply.
	if ( bp_is_group() && 'topic' === bp_action_variable() && bp_action_variable( 1 ) ) {
		$bbpress = true;
	}

	// Group forum topic.
	if ( bp_is_group() && bp_is_current_action( 'forum' ) ) {
		$bbpress = true;
	}

	// Do stuff when on a group forum page.
	if ( true === $bbpress ) {
		$retval = true;
		
		// Ensure at-mentions autocomplete works with TinyMCE for bbPress.
		add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'cac_enable_mentions_in_group_forum_tinymce', 10, 2 );
	}

	return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts', 'my_enable_mentions_in_group_forum_textareas' );

/**
 * Ensure at-mentions autocomplete works with TinyMCE for bbPress.
 *
 * @param array  $settings   An array with TinyMCE config.
 * @param string $editor_id Unique editor identifier, e.g. 'content'.
 * @return array  $mceInit   An array with TinyMCE config.
 */
function cac_enable_mentions_in_group_forum_tinymce( $settings, $editor_id ) {
	// Add bbPress' editor IDs to enable BP mention autocomplete.
	if ( 'bbp_topic_content' === $editor_id || 'bbp_reply_content' === $editor_id ) {
		$settings['init_instance_callback'] = 'window.bp.mentions.tinyMCEinit';
	}

	return $settings;
}
