Hi thestephaniejns,

I'm sorry but we don't provide codding and customization support. I'd only recommend to output all Global variables and check what variable is available, then use global PHP operator to access in your shortcode function. For example you can try :

function myfunc(){
     global $member;
     .... then use $member
}

I've tried using $member but it breaks the forum... Probably because it's being used within a shortcode, as I mentioned above. And I do need the current post user ID in the loop, but $member is not pulling that—it's pulling the current logged in user ID. Please help—I don't know if there's another array or set of code I can use but I have to get this system functional for my client this week so they can get beta testers in.

Thank you!

$member is current post user ID in the loop, it's not current logged-in user ID. You should use $member not $member. $member is an array.

Okay, small problem... $member pulls the logged in user, not the post author. :( any idea what php I can use to pull the post author? Thinking maybe it has something to do with the fact that it's within a shortcode but not sure how to get the badges to work otherwise...

I was able to get it to work by implementing the do_shortcode function from the link you sent on the post.php template (using the structure you describe for update-safe customizations). Here was the code I inserted (right under the author_title php blurb) if anyone else is interested in doing the same thing:

Again, this is for integrating the Badgearoo plugin with wpForo, allowing it to show custom badges under the user's avatar/name in replies.

Awesome, thanks Robert! Very helpful. I'll try those things.

If you need to add some information under users avatars on post list you should use posts.php file in according forum layout. For example if you use the first Extended layout you should copy /classic/layouts/1/posts.php and past in /wp-content/themes/your-theme/wpforo/layouts/1/ directory. Then do any customization you want.

Hi thestephaniejns,

you can do any customization with wpForo and those will not be lost on future, please read this support topic: https://wpforo.com/community/general-discussions/wpforo-integrate-with-s2member/#post-479

Here's the link for Badgearoo if that would be helpful at all - https://wordpress.org/plugins/badgearoo/

Alternatively, maybe it's something I would have to put code in a Badgearoo file rather than a wpForo file? In which case would you have any recommendations on that?

Thanks again!

Another angle I'm working on for the time being to be able to go ahead and set my client up with wpForo (since I MUCH prefer the feature set of wpForo to bbPress)—if I can get Badgearoo to populate on wpForo forums the same as it does in bbPress (custom badges under name of user in each forum post), that would be a great interim solution, but I'm a little stuck as to how to do that. Is there a particular plugin file in wpForo I would insert code in to be able to integrate that? Thanks for any help you can provide!
