Add bbPress User Roles Dropdown to new-user.php

[alex-ye]

Hi , We should add bbPress user roles dropdown in new-user.php admin page .

Oversight. Patch should be easyish. Moving to 2.4.

[MZAWeb]

Added patch.

[johnjamesjacoby]

Can we add a second dropdown, instead of adding bbPress's roles to the existing one?

[johnjamesjacoby]

No time. Moving to 2.5.

Sorry, was out for a while. Will patch tomorrow.

So, finishing this patch I found that core's user-new.php doesn't have an action to add fields ( ​http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18709 ). Out options:

1) Add the combo only in the user edit screen.
2) (Hack) Use the show_password_fields hook and squeeze the combo in, and remember to fix it when core adds the correct action.
3) Wait for core to add the action before doing this patch.

2 is ugly but I guess our best option here. Thoughts?

I'd propose we wait until core provides a hook.

Replying to MZAWEb:

Let's patch this as if #WP18709 is committed in, and wait. It's the correct approach, and I'd rather not hack it in temporarily.

2223.patch​ assumes 18709.2.patch​ in ​#WP18709 gets into core.

[netweb]

​#WP18709 is now in core via ​[WP25629]
