Hi all,

i want to share with you a nice tool who gives any forum admin, especially support forums, the possibility to mark a post as [support request] or [resolved] or … nothing.

This plugin was made by @imath for the french buddpress support forum http://bp-fr.net some mounth ago. Here’s an example of how it shows on a group forum activity page:
http://bp-fr.net/groupes/utilisation-configuration-optimisation-de-buddypress/forum/

You can download this plugin from here: https://github.com/imath/buddy-bbPress-Support-Topic
Comes in english and french and a pot file for easy translation in any other language.

Visit also @imath ‘s new blog here: http://imathi.eu (in french only), but all codes are still in english 😉

For those who want to add css to the [support] on group forums (not site wide forum), please read here and follow the changeset to get the solution. Can be used from BP 1.5.x

thanks @chouf1,

just upgraded the plugin in repo : https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddy-bbpress-support-topic/

once the change set applied, you’ll be able to use this :
`add_filter(‘bp_bbp_st_print_support_type’, ‘dan_style_support_topic’, 10, 2);

function dan_style_support_topic( $topic_status, $support_status ) {

if( $support_status == 2 ) {
return ‘‘ . $topic_status .’‘;
} else if( $support_status == 1 ) {
return ‘‘ . $topic_status .’‘;
} else {
return $topic_status;
}

}`

imath: I’ve just done a code review of your plugin (the version on github, in master), and have left some feedback on Github. We’re keen to use it on BuddyPress.org once the issues are addressed.

[@imath Moderator 11 years, 11 months ago]

Good evening Paul,

that’s a great new !! Working on your review, i’ll let you know when i’m done, this info doubles my motivation 😉

I’ll quickly publish a new version (1.0.2-beta1 on github, 1.0.2 on WP repo) to resolve the sanitization’s bug (i hope tonight).

Then i’ll publish another version to integrate the rest of your review (1.0.3-beta1).

Thanks again for your help and interest in this plugin.

Hi @djpaul , @mercime , @chouf1

Finally, i made 2 versions tonight the 1.0.3-beta1 is taking in account Paul’s review. Then i thought, what about filtering the topic by support status in the backend Topics list ?

So i made 1.1-beta1, here’s an illustration

Master is latest.

If everything is ok, then i’ll publish 1.1 to WordPress repo.

Good night.

[@imath Moderator 11 years, 11 months ago]

I think i’ve finished.

Just tagged 1.1-beta2 on plugin’s github repo. After the dashboard widget, the sidebar one in order to display statitics on front end. If on a forum’s page, then the Resolved and To resolve become links that allows user to filter the topics of the forum on the desired support status.

You can see a screenshot of it here : https://github.com/imath/buddy-bbPress-Support-Topic/blob/master/screenshot-7.png
