Double usage of action 'bbp_author_metabox'

[cyrilbatillat]

Hi,

I just stumbled on 2 different action hooks carrying the same name : 'bbp_author_metabox'. This hook is triggered at 2 places :

• Just after author metabox registration, via function author_metabox() in /includes/admin/topics.php

• During rendering of Author metabox, via bbp_author_metabox() function in /includes/admin/metaboxes.php

So, trying to display additionnal fields in the author metabox, your code will be displayed two times : at the very top of the page, and in the metabox.

Thanks for the ticket and at a quick glance you are correct.

A probable work around at the moment would be to use some bbPress conditionals, bbp_is_topic_edit(), bbp_is_reply_edit(), is_admin(), is_bbPress() etc, ​http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-conditional-tags/

Will need to dig around a research this a bit to see what plugins may already be using these hooks so we don't break any back compat.

This has just been fixed as part of r6197

I stumbled across this just now.

If anyone needs to work around this before 2.6 is out, you can do so by putting

if ( ! did_action( 'admin_head' ) ) {
    return;
}

before your output.

I don't think the suggestions above for other conditionals would work.
