BuddyPress.org

This would take some code work, because neither bbPress or BuddyPress store this information. You would need to hook into ‘groups_edit_forum_post’ and the use bb_update_postmeta() and bb_get_postmeta() to save/retrieve the information. The following will get you started:

`my_update_forum_post_last_edited( $post_id ) {
global $bp;

do_action( ‘bbpress_init’ );

$post_id = (int) $post_id;

if ( empty( $post_id ) )
return;

bb_update_postmeta( $post_meta, ‘last_edited_date’, bp_core_current_time() );
bb_update_postmeta( $post_meta, ‘last_edited_user’, $bp->loggedin_user->id );
}
add_action( ‘groups_edit_forum_post’, ‘my_update_post_lasted_edited’ );

function my_display_forum_post_last_edited() {
do_action( ‘bbpress_init’ );

$last_edited_user = bb_get_postmeta( bp_get_the_topic_post_id(), ‘last_edited_user’ );
$last_edited_date = bb_get_postmeta( bp_get_the_topic_post_id(), ‘last_edited_date’ );

if ( empty( $last_edited_user ) || empty( $last_edited_date ) )
return;

echo ‘Last edited by ‘ . bp_core_get_user_display_name( $last_edited_user ) . ‘ on ‘ . bp_format_time( $last_edited_date ) . ‘ ‘;
}
add_action( ‘bp_group_forum_post_meta’, ‘my_display_forum_post_last_edited’ );`

Try it. I should do everything for you. “Get you started” means just that. It will get you started, and then you can tweak it to your needs.

No, the code goes in your functions.php file. You won’t need to make any other changes.

Also, I haven’t tested any of this, so you may need to play around a little more to make it functional.

Yeah, that’s because I put in the wrong variable so nothing was saving. Replace the first function with this, and then see what happens. You’ll need to edit a post again.

`my_update_forum_post_last_edited( $post_id ) {
global $bp;

do_action( ‘bbpress_init’ );

$post_id = (int) $post_id;

if ( empty( $post_id ) )
return;

bb_update_postmeta( $post_id, ‘last_edited_date’, bp_core_current_time() );
bb_update_postmeta( $post_id, ‘last_edited_user’, $bp->loggedin_user->id );
}
add_action( ‘groups_edit_forum_post’, ‘my_update_post_lasted_edited’ );`

Apparently I have an issue today with fat fingers or bad copy/paste-itus. Try this:

`my_update_forum_post_last_edited( $post_id ) {
global $bp;

do_action( ‘bbpress_init’ );

$post_id = (int) $post_id;

if ( empty( $post_id ) )
return;

bb_update_postmeta( $post_id, ‘last_edited_date’, bp_core_current_time() );
bb_update_postmeta( $post_id, ‘last_edited_user’, $bp->loggedin_user->id );
}
add_action( ‘groups_edit_forum_post’, ‘my_update_forum_post_last_edited’ );`

Theoretically it should show up at the top of the post that was edited, right beside the #. Are you using the bp-default theme?

Well that could be the reason. Do you have `do_action( ‘bp_group_forum_post_meta’ );` anywhere in your template in the meta section? My guess is no, which is why nothing is displaying. You can try adding `my_display_forum_post_last_edited()` where you’d like the “Last edited…” text to appear.

Try changing `bp_format_time( $last_edited_date )` to `bp_format_time( strtotime( $last_edited_date ) )`
