hi @svend-rugaard,

this is a bbpress trick. Add this snippet to bp-custom.php

function abc() {
	echo '@'. bbp_get_topic_author_display_name();
}
add_filter( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'abc' );

[Svend Rugaard]

should i use the @mention snippet also for that because nohting happen ?

[danbp]

Nothing happen ? Where do you try to use this function ?
And No you haven’t to use another snippet.

The snippet is not correct as it ouput the display name. We need nicename.

Use this instead

function abc() {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
	if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
		$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
		echo '@'.$user_nicename;
	}
}
add_filter( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'abc' );

This will only show up in a bbpress forum. Like here, that’s what you asked for.

i use it in bp-custom.php ?

[Svend Rugaard]

Look here ? http://www.playstationforum.dk/topic/opdatering-a-forum/

My bp-custom.php is looking like this

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
?>
function abc() {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
        if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
                $user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
                echo '@'.$user_nicename;
        }
}
add_filter( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'abc' )

@svend-rugaard

You need to put the php tags around the code, so <?php goes before the code danbp gave you.

// is used to tell php to ignore the current ( single ) line. Multi line comments start with /* and end with */.

Then ?> needs to go at the end of the file.

There should be nothing ( including spaces or blank lines ) before the opening <?php or after the closing ?>. Some php files don’t have / need a closing ?>.

Also to note is that a text editor such as notepad ++ should be used, rather than a word-processor…

[Svend Rugaard]

would you put the code as it should be because i dont get it then ?

Mine is looking like this now ?

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
?>
<?php function abc() {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
        if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
                $user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
                echo '@'.$user_nicename;
        }
}
add_filter( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'abc' )?>

double post

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
function abc() {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
	if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
		$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
		echo '@'.$user_nicename;
	}
}
add_filter( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'abc' );
?>

Without ?> on line three. Would suggest putting ?> on it’s own line at the end…

Edit : don’t know why it double posted…

n.b. This is presuming there is nothing else in the file. If you want to add other snippets they should go after the opening <?php tag or before the closing ?> and should not break up any other php snippets…

I just noticed that you missed the ; from the end of the add_filter line. This is important….
