Configuring your short code for BBpress

Hey

Thanks for a great plugin.

I have a site with both a blog and a forum powered by BBpress.

I use your plugin for searches in the blog with your shortcode in a widget in the sidebar and the settings option “posts” ticked in your plugin UI.

I have my own functionality plugin installed. I am running the following script so that the wordpress search engine can search BBpress content:

/**
 * Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results */

function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
	$topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );

/**
 * Include bbPress 'forum' custom post type in WordPress' search results */

function ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search( $forum_search ) {
	$forum_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $forum_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search' );

/**
 * Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results  */

function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
	$reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );

PLEASE NOTE that When running the above code, if I tick “ALL’ in the setting in your plugin UI then your search will include BBPress forum, topic and reply content.

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO:

1. Have your shortcode in the sidebars for just the blog and wp posts. AND just search posts. I currently achieve this using the basic shortcode and your plugin set to “posts”.

2. HOWEVER, i also want to put your shortcode in the sidebar for all Forum pages and JUST search for Forums, Topics and replies. I note your plugin has the shortcode option [wpns_search_form
only_search=”my_custom_post_type”] but I don’t know how to configure so just BBpress Forums, Topics and Replies are searched. For example, I have tried:

[wpns_search_form only_search=”bbp_register_topic_post_type”]

and

[wpns_search_form only_search=”ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search”]

But neither of these work and the test searches come up empty.

So I would be very grateful if you could tell me how to configure your shortcode so that it will search the forum, topic and reply custom post types created by my code displayed above.

Please also note that there is currently a small bug at the bottom of your plugin UI. The shortcode there is broken into two lines and it also has a hover function on it link an active link but nothing happens if you click on it. It is also difficult to read the short as it is broken over two lines. Is it correct form as follows?

[wpns_search_form only_search=””]

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Kind Regards

Max
