php conditionals in bbpress topics

Hi,

I try to get

<?php if (current_user_can("access_s2member_level1")){ ?>
   Some content for Members who are logged in with an s2Member Level >= 1.
<?php } else { ?>
   Some public content.
<?php } ?> 

work in bbpress topics.

The Code works fine on Pages on my WP installation, but does not on BBPress Topics.

Is there a manual for get the code running in BBPress ?

Thanks

Thanks for your inquiry.

The way that his works depends on what PHP Execution plugin you are running. I can tell you that most PHP Execution plugins run off of the WordPress Filter the_content.

Likely what’s happening is that bbPress’s topics are not filtered using the_content, and therefore your PHP Execution plugin is not actually given access to these posts. bbPress does support custom templates, however. You may be able to have this content filtered through this template.

Hi Bruce,

I use the following plugin

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/

Should i change to another?

I do not get the hint why I should change the template, how would that solve the Problem?

You may be able to change to another PHP Execution plugin that does support bbPress topics. I can’t think of any that do, but you may be able to find one.

As I mentioned, PHP Execution plugins will normally execute PHP by hooking into WordPress through the the_content filter. If you were able to wrap the portion of the template that should be checked for PHP code, you can then wrap it in apply_filters('the_content', 'The content goes here'), and that section of the page would then have PHP Execution enabled.
