[GSoC '14] bbPress per-forum moderation

[Shitiz Garg]

Hello! A prospective GSoC student here, I was looking into per-forum
moderation and bbPress' trac issue
#459<https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/459> and
I was wondering if the idea still has any merit? I created this proof of
concept <https://gist.github.com/Dragooon/9674227> before realising that
this might not be valid anymore. As the deadline is approaching quite near,
I'd like some quick feedback! Thanks :)

Hi Dragoon,

Apologies I haven't got to this earlier,

Indeed the project and idea still has merit.

I've taken a quick look at your proof of concept.

If you take a look at the work that previously gone into this idea in bbPress ticket #459 you will see that we have created a custom taxonomy to store the forum moderators and forums that they are moderators of.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/459/459.4.diff

We'd want to build out on that per the GSoC project idea to scope it out further to also cover "per-post" permissions which would enhance the flexibility of what we can and cannot do with the forum, topic and reply custom post types.

I suggest you create a proposal per the codex http://codex.wordpress.org/GSoC2014#How_to_Apply

Cheers,

By per post permission, it would extend to any custom post type or limited
to bbPress? Now this is entirely possible for meta capabilities and rather
simply but what about the general capabilities? Say I want to grant a
specific user "reply" in a specific forum, I'd need to modify bbPress
itself in order to pass the forum ID

Okay, I was wrong. This seems perfectly capable with plugins, I can use
$post global variable and user_has_caps filter similar to this proof of
concept <https://gist.github.com/Dragooon/9683271>. I'll quickly write a
proposal before the deadline
