I've search all over Google for people that do custom bbPress edits but can't find any. Does anyone know where I can get someone to edit my bbPress (obviously for $$)? I'm looking to add another field (URL) to the ADD NEW topic, and then use that input as the link for the topic.
Anyone?
I'm looking to add a new input field in the New Topic form. So currently in the default form, it goes as follows: Topic Title, Post, Tags. I want it to be: Topic Title, URL, Post, Tags.
I also need to use this URL in the template. In other words, a function needs to be created to get the URL, and then echo it in the template (specifically on the Latest Discussion/Forums tables).
I will then use this URL as the link for the topic by replacing <?php topic_link(); ?> (this is in the Latest Discussion table) with the function for the URL.
So in short, the topic will redirect to the URL submitted in the form instead of its topic.php (http://website.com/forums/topic.php?id=X)
So you are trying to create a site like Fark with a link to other sites for each entry.
Using topic meta, what you are asking for is fairly straightforward.
Yes. I have tried using topic meta, but I am encountering problems. I didn't install the bb-anoymous-posting because I don't need it, so...the only fields that appear are Topic Title, Post Title, Post, and Tags.
Assuming I could use Post Title as the URL field, I added a url into the Post title and tried to echo it in the template but failed. The plugin automatically adds the post title to the post (I am able to see it there so I know it works) but I want to use it by replacing <?php topic_link(); ?>.
I tried:
<?php post_meta_author_title($title) ?>
<?php post_meta_post_title($text) ?>
<?php $bb_post->title ?>
but none of them work in the Latest Discussion table by replacing <?php topic_link(); ?>. This is why I need your help.
No, do not use Post Meta plugin if you only need one special field for the topic. You can just bbPress's topic meta whihc is built in but some custom code would have to be put into your templates with a plugin to handle the extra field.
Yea...I will have no idea where to start to add another field which is why I created this thread in the first place (I need a professional). Would you be able to do this? I can pay you.
I can't do it right away but if you remind me on Friday,
I'll show you how to do it over the weekend.
That's alright with me. The only way I can "remind" you is to bump this thread...so expect a bump on Friday. If you need to contact me at any time my email is parthatel[at]yahoo[dot]com.
