bbPress loses all post data on Submit when there was a validation error

[h646572]

Steps to reproduce:

1) Turn on guest posting
2) Enter a valid name
3) Enter an invalid email.
4) Fill out some data in the post body.
5) Hit submit.

Actual results:

The name and email fields are filled out, but all of the post data is lost!

Expected results:

Post data is filled out so that the user doesn't lose their work.

Moving to future release, pending some investigation.

I noticed the attachment didn't have the visual editor enabled (it's enabled by default). Maybe it's related to that.

@h646572 Try disabling all your plugins except bbPress and switching to 2011/2012 WP themes.

[h646572]

Happens with all plugins (except bbPress) disabled. Happens with 2012 theme.

[h646572]

Also happens even if I disable the fancy editor. :(

Can you install ​/trunk and see if it still happens.

[MZAWeb]

It's happening for me too, using trunk. Both in the new topic form as in the new reply form. Checking...

[MZAWeb]

bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php is using bbp_current_anonymous_user_data( 'email' ); to fill the value for those inputs. That functions ultimately gets the user information from a cookie. But the cookie doesn't get set in the first place, because of the validation error. Catch 22!

For those users that reported seeing this working, please try clearing cookies or using a different browser and try again?

Btw, that file I mention does this to set up those values:

value="<?php bbp_is_topic_edit() ? bbp_topic_author_email() : bbp_is_reply_edit() ? bbp_reply_author_email() : bbp_current_anonymous_user_data( 'email' ); ?>"

Hate those ? : chained. @JJJ, do you care if a re-do this in a less readable way?

Not entirely within the original scope of this ticket but....

Post data LOST when posting to BP Group Forum (WP r23646(/trunk) / bbP 2.2.4 / BP 1.6.4 (Group Forums Only))

Confirmed as User WP Role = Subscriber bbP Role = Participant

Confirmed as Admin WP Role = Administrator bbP Role = Keymaster

[h646572]

It did not appear for me with trunk, but it seems to be happening for others.

[h646572]

Once I go back to 2.2.4 I can confirm that the problem re-appears.

[johnjamesjacoby]

This appears to be fixed in trunk.
