BuddyPress 1.7-beta - Group Forums - Sticky trouble

[imath]

Hi,

Versions used :

• BuddyPress 1.7-beta : latest from BuddyPress trunk
• bbPress 2.3-beta : latest from bbPress trunk

1) Super Sticky in Group Forums :
let's say i have 2 topics (topic A and topic B). As a group admin or the superadmin, i choose to "stick to front" topic B. Then back in forum archive i want to read topic A, the url takes the slug of topic A but the content is not topic A, it's the one of topic B (the "sticked to front" one).

Now if i add a topic C and choose 'Super Sticky' in the topic type selectbox, once posted i'm redirected to an url containing the slug of topic C but the content is the one of topic B (the previous "sticked to front" topic).

Back in the forum archive of the group, i have 2 topics Sticked to front (topic B and C) :

• If i click on the topic B link, the slug is the one of topic B but the content is the one of topic C
• If i click on the topic C link, the slug is the one of topic C but the content is the one of topic B.
• If i click on the topic A link, the slug is the one of topic A but the content is the one of topic C (the latest "sticked to front" topic)

So unless i edit topic B and topic C to be unsticked, topic A will never be readable again :(

2) Sticky in Group Forums :
When creating a new topic, in the topic type select box i have 3 choices : Normal, Sticky, Super Sticky.

Let's say i choose Sticky and post my topic. Then i edit the topic, the option of the selectbox is not on Sticky but on Normal. I don't know if it's the right behavior, but if nothing happens when selecting Sticky, maybe the option shouldn't show ?

I needed to make it work so i made this patch. I'm sorry if i did things wrong. But it's working for me. Sharing it here.. in case it can help you find the best way...
What the patch does :

• make sure the _bbp_forum_id is set once the topic is inserted else, the sticky is not applyed when creating a first topic
• avoids super sticky to be added to the list of topics when in group forums (else, the topic of one group when stick to front can be in another group...)

As discussed on IRC, i split this ticket in 2 to only keep here the BuddyPress 1.7 Group Forums sticky trouble.

For the issue about the fact sticky types are not saved when first creating a topic, i've just added this ticket #2230
