BuddyPress.org

Hello guys,

Just in case anyone else was wondering. If you want to grab data from topics or replies you need to grab the hook that fires after it is saved. These 2 did the trick:

//for when new topic was created
add_action('bbp_new_topic_post_extras', 'group_has_new_topic', 10, 2);
//for when new reply was created to a topic
add_action('bbp_new_reply_post_extras', 'group_topic_has_new_reply', 10, 2);

I know that this will grab all bbPress topics and replies, but it fits my purposes.
If anyone knows how to grab only BuddyPress Group Forums’ Topics and Replies that would be awesome, but for now this will work for me and I hope it works for others!

These actions rely on $topic_id and $reply_id only and respectfully, but you can grab any other data such as Topic Title, Forum Name, Topic or Reply Author, etc. through the Topic or Reply ID alone like so:

$topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id($reply_id);
    $topic_title = bbp_get_topic_title($topic_id);
    $forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($topic_id);
    $forum_title = bbp_get_forum_title($forum_id);
    $user = bbp_get_reply_author_id($reply_id);
    $user_info = get_userdata($user);
    $username = $user_info->user_login;

Thanks a lot !

It does seem odd, but that’s the nature of nested comments. I’d prefer like you the default action went through a single form and not a different form for every nest.

Whilst that’s not the issue in question, I do agree – that would be good. But my primary concern is the Buddypress scroll position :-/

I have no problem with the form position, as you highland in your first 2 sentences. It’s just that the auto-scroll rolls the page into a position that seems odd. I like the auto-scroll, I just wish it rather scrolled to a point where the form was at the bottom of the page rather than the top.

I’ve turned off the theme, and the action persists, so I believe that’s a trait of Buddypress?
