Question about the "after_add_....." hook

#1 · November 27, 2017, 8:43 am

Hi there,

I use this forum for quite a while now and still love the simplicity of it.
We already use the following hooks:

asgarosforum_after_add_thread_submit
asgarosforum_after_add_post_submit

But now I something I haven’t figured out yet. As its possible in Asgaros to define who can see which forumcategory and if a forumcatagory is public (Access: Public or Moderator only).

If I add a paramater to the function I call in the hook I only get the post ID. How do I get the accessibility or the usergroup in that function?

Hi Lionear,

first some info: With the upcoming version the hook asgarosforum_after_add_thread_submit will be renamed to asgarosforum_after_add_topic_submit. So dont forget to adjust your code. 🙂

Here is some example code which you can use to get more information about the current category:

function submit_info($postID, $topicID) {
  global $asgarosforum;

  $groupIDs = get_term_meta($asgarosforum->current_category, 'usergroups', true);

  // IDs of usergroups for category.
  // Can get more information about it with:
  // AsgarosForumUserGroups::getUserGroupBy($groupID)
  print_r('<pre>');
  print_r($groupIDs);
  print_r('</pre>');

  // Access level for category.
  $accessLevel = get_term_meta($asgarosforum->current_category, 'category_access', true);
  print_r('<pre>');
  print_r($accessLevel);
  print_r('</pre>');
  die();
}
add_action('asgarosforum_after_add_topic_submit', 'submit_info', 10, 2);

I know, this looks a little bit tricky and there is no well-documented API yet. I will try to add some better functions for this in a future release.

Thanks for the snippet works like a charm!

I have added the new hook to the code so when the old one gets the deprecated state I can remove it :).
But how can I get the URL of the new topic / post because I want to create a bridge between Asgaros and Discord so I need it so I can post it.

To get the link to the new topic you can use:

global $asgarosforum;
$link = html_entity_decode($asgarosforum->getLink('topic', $asgarosforum->current_topic, false, '#postid-'.$asgarosforum->current_post));

For posts:

global $asgarosforum;
$link = html_entity_decode($asgarosforum->get_postlink($asgarosforum->current_topic, $asgarosforum->current_post));
