Thanks to a member, I was able to get the first post of a forum to have a unique css! (It really should be easier).

Now, I’d like to have all of the admins to have a unique css for their forum posts. To get the first post css, a special function was added to functions.php. I imagine something similar would work – but I’m just not sure on the functions listing to check for the admin 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

Oh – well – I don’t want to slow down the site. Hmm.. Is there a way to grab the userid from WP or BP?

I was thinking of something like this in the functions.php – is that cached?

function my_admin_post() {
global $bp;

if ( $bp->displayed_user->id == 1 )
return true;

return false;

Update
— Alas that didn’t work

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

$topic_template->post->poster_id

Beautiful !!

Now – that works when == 1 … is there an or statement possible?

$topic_template->post->poster_id == 1 || 53

Something like that?
