BuddyPress Groups

Hi Jimmy,

I haven’t tested it with BuddyPress Groups, nor am I technically familiar with them. Do they show up as roles once created? If they do, then it should work fine.

Thanks! It’s good to know that it works with BuddyPress :).

Re skipping the author for notification, you can hook into a filter to achieve that. The code that calls the filter is:

$recipients = apply_filters( 'bbpress_topic_notify_recipients', $recipients, $topic_id, $forum_id );

So you can hook into that filter, check the author_id from $topic_id, remove the author from $recipients (it’s an associative array of ID => WP_User object), and finally return the filtered array.

Cheers,
Vinny

Jimmy, try placing this in your functions.php file. Note that I have not tested it, so be prepared to remove it via FTP if you added it via the Editor UI.

function bbpnns_remove_topic_author( $recipients, $topic_id, $forum_id )
{
    $author_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );

    unset( $recipients[$author_id] );

    return $recipients;
}

add_filter( 'bbpress_topic_notify_recipients', 'bbpnns_remove_topic_author', 10, 3 );

function bbpnns_remove_reply_author( $recipients, $reply_id, $topic_id, $forum_id  )
{
    $author_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );

    unset( $recipients[$author_id] );

    return $recipients;
}

add_filter( 'bbpress_reply_notify_recipients', 'bbpnns_remove_reply_author', 10, 4 );

Please make sure you copied/pasted the code exactly as shown, and before the ending ?> tag (if there’s one, it’s OK if there is none and the end of the file).

I tested the snippet for compile errors and it compiles just fine. Also check your error logs to see what exactly is the error that was thrown to generate the 500. It should explain exactly what went wrong.

The snippet above doesn’t have any function ending in semi-colon. What you have is a function, and a call to add_filter() – twice.

I’ll look into adding the functionality to the plugin some time in the future.

I looked further into BuddyPress Groups and Forum Groups and built a premium bridge plugin. It also plays nicely with my other Premium add-ons (Digests and Opt-Out).
