Notifications

The addon sends PeepSo notifications to subscribers when forum content is posted, using PeepSo’s own notification system (PeepSoNotifications).

Two notification types

Section titled “Two notification types”
When Who is notified Notification type
A new topic is posted in a forum Subscribers of that forum (bbp_get_subscribers for the forum) wbpbi_new_topic_notification
A new reply is posted in a topic Subscribers of that topic (bbp_get_subscribers for the topic) wbpbi_new_reply_notification

The member who triggered the action is not notified about their own post.

Section titled “Notification links”

Each notification links back to the correct destination:

  • Topic notifications link to the topic permalink (via bbp_get_topic_permalink and the bbpeepso_topic_id post meta).
  • Reply notifications link to the reply permalink (via bbp_get_reply_permalink and the bbpeepso_reply_id post meta).

Titles are HTML-entity decoded so encoded characters read correctly.

Site-owner controls

Section titled “Site-owner controls”

Two switches in Configuration turn each type on or off site-wide:

  • New topic notifications (wbpbi_topic_new_topic_notification)
  • New reply notifications (wbpbi_new_reply_notification)

Member controls

Section titled “Member controls”

The addon also registers PeepSo profile alerts (through the peepso_profile_alerts filter) so members can toggle these in their own PeepSo notification preferences:

  • “Someone creates a topic in a subscribed forum” (wbpbi_new_topic_notification)
  • “Someone replies to a subscribed topic” (wbpbi_new_reply_notification)

Notifications are only sent when the corresponding activity type is also enabled, because they are created inside the new-topic and new-reply activity handlers.
