How to add a @username like BBPress forum
<?php $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
} ?>
you add this to your loop-single-reply.php template
or put
/**
* Add @mentionname after bbpress forum author details
*/
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'mentionname_to_bbpress' );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
}
}
in your functions file.
Functions files and child themes – explained !
both methods are valid, if you use @robkk’s method, remember to create this as a separate file within your theme
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-3/ section 3
to do the second you need to put the following in your functions file:
//take away the role display
function hide_role ($args) {
$args['show_role'] = false ;
Return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'hide_role') ;
this removes the existing text,
then you’d need to add some image depending on role, so something like
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'add_image' );
function add_image () {
$role = bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) );
if ($role == 'keymaster') {
echo "<img src='/snippet_theme/img/error.gif' title='Error' alt='Error' />";
}
if ($role == 'participant') {
etc.
}
This is not tested – sorry but limited time !!
It works! And it looks really pretty now!! Thanks
how do I change the font colour of @username? (e.g. grey like BBPress forum)
how do I change the font colour of @username?
im going to use my version though , cause i dont know how with the add action version
<p class=bbp-user-nicename><?php $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
} ?></p>
throw this into custom css
#bbpress-forums p.bbp-user-nicename {
font-weight: bold;
color: #888;
display: inline-block;
margin: 0;
}
basically you’d use the same css as @robkk into your stylsheet, and then the code would be
/**
* Add @mentionname after bbpress forum author details
*/
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'mentionname_to_bbpress' );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo '<p class=bbp-user-nicename>' ;
echo "@".$user_nicename.'</p>' ;
}
}
Thanks, where can I find custom css?
also, can I use;
add_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details’, ‘mentionname_to_bbpress’ );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo ‘<font class=bbp-user-nicename>’ ;
echo “@”.$user_nicename.'</font>’ ;
}
}
use font instead of <p> ? because p will skip a line which makes the name and user role very far away
ok, put the css in your style.css.
then maybe try this code in your functions.php file
add_action( bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details, mentionname_to_bbpress );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo '<ul><li><font class=bbp-user-nicename>' ;
echo @.$user_nicename.</font></li></ul> ;
}
}
