Hi,

I would like to reverse the page order of forum posts within a topic in order to have the first page as the most recent rather than having to navigate to the last page in order to read the latest posts.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,

Ross

This would be helpful on my site as well. Anyone know how to accomplish this

Any ideas on this yet people?

Yes, it would be a very useful option to be able to choose the the order of posts.

line 826 in bp-forums-templaetags.php
change ASC to DESC

[@gunju2221 Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

Wouldn’t recommend at all changing the core, especially the templatetags.

Just write a simple function using the templatetags.php in bp-custom something like:

`function bp_has_forum_topic_posts() {
global $topic_template;

$defaults = array(
‘order’ => ‘DESC’

}`

not tested

Code didn’t work, any plugin for this?

[@peeld Participant 12 years, 2 months ago]

Just wanted to see if somebody could help me out with the code above – I put it in bp-custom.php and it throws this error:

`Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_has_forum_topic_posts() (previously declared in /home4/mysite/public_html/classroom/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:60) in /home4/mysite/public_html/classroom/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-template.php on line 1131`

Thanks much

Pass the ‘order’ parameter as DESC.

if ( bp_has_forum_topic_posts( ‘order=DESC’ ) {

The forum topic posts loop can be found in this template:
/bp-default/groups/single/forum/topic.php

[@dylancasey Participant 12 years ago]

I am trying to do exactly this: change the order of the posts displayed for a topic in a forum. I understand that I can do this by setting the ‘order’ parameter to DESC in bp_has_forum_topic_posts. What is eluding me is how to properly over-ride the function on my functions.php (or bp-custom.php) so as to just change the passed arguments.

I’ve tried adding the following to my functions.php file (an it doesn’t work):

function my_bp_has_forum_topic_posts($args) {
$args = 'order=DESC';
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bp_has_forum_topic_posts','my_bp_has_forum_topic_posts');


Thanks for the help in advance.
