Description

Another Idea for bbPress is to have an Automatic Feed Links such the WordPress feeds system.. So the forum/topic/user feed links displayed automaticly in the head tag.

In also the developer could remove those links easily, So introduce this feature as a theme feature will be a good idea

add_theme_support('bbp-automatic-feed-links');

Selfishly, I've never found links to feeds to be super helpful, so I never included them in the UI. I agree we probably should, though I'm not sure this is the approach I'd take.

I think I'd rather we had a better forum-meta and topic-meta solution for outputting "stuff" like this, in the default template files, as some kind of template part. I'm not entirely sure what that would look like yet, but that's what I'm envisioning for now.

Maybe the feeds is not "super helpful" but it still "helpful" form many users :)
Interesting to see your suggestion about the approach.

So I just found 2305.diff, I created a couple of months back, and with a quick refresh against /trunk
(It needs some PHPDOC and testing with/without forum prefix etc.)

I think I stopped working on this as it was only adding feed links to <head> for RSS discovery, per the original ticket description, then JJJ mentions UI and template parts and that is when I stopped looking at this.

I can't picture (as JJJ mentions above) what said UI and template parts would look like, if we put that part of the equation in another ticket we can have RSS feed links in the HTML HEAD with just 2305.diff.

Add this to your functions.php to enable bbPress RSS Feeds 'auto discovery' links to the HTML <head>

// Adds RSS feed links to <head> for bbPress topics, replies and topic tags.
add_theme_support( 'bbp-automatic-feed-links' );

Looks good. Likely needs more thought around whether including new feed links in everyone's sites by default is something we want to commit to.

Moving to 2.7.

  • #2292 RSS feeds missing Some HTTP Headers
  • #2901 Use modern feed Content-Type

A quick look at the above tickets and the current 2305.diff​ patch iterating with feed_content_type( 'rss2' ) and WordPress' feed helper functions would make things a little saner.
