Ok, I have three questions:

On our site, we have a score that we give to our users whenever they write a post and/or comment on the site's blog posts. I would also like to add the total number of forum posts by that user into the mix but I have had a hard time getting that data into the custom plugin that I wrote.

So my question is, what is the WPQuery that I should use to get that information and is there a action that fires in Simple:Press that I can access in my Wordpress Plugin every time a user posts to the forum, so that it can update the counter (score).

Secondly, is it easily possible to apply CSS styles by forum. We have two forums, a public and a private on the site and the users have requested different colors for each so that they don't accidentally post something private in the public forums.

Thirdly, is there a way to setup a daily email digest for all of the active topics that day? We migrated the forum from Google Groups and the email digest feature of GG is something that people are missing.

Posts Score:

Do you mean you just want the count of how many posts a user has made on the forum? If that's the case then this function should return that

sf_get_member_item($userid, 'posts');

You need to pass in the users ID as you see.

Styling:

It really epends on where you are referring too. For example on the 'forum' view (i.e., list of topics in a sngle forum) then the whole thing is in a div with an id of 'forum-ID' where ID is the record ID of the forum. Your best bet is to interrogate the HTML being generated or even better use Firebug with Firefoc so that you can nterrogate the html and CSS being displayed.

Digest:

Sorry – no digest yet
