bbPress – select a topic reply as “answer”

I’ve been thinking about making something similar, and also found those plugins to be outdated. I did create a ‘Mark as sold’ feature for some classifieds I recently added to my site, and I think it will use similar methods.

I haven’t started development on it yet, but here’s the idea I’ve been kicking around:

• Add post meta on creation of any post, ‘votes’ = 0 & ‘answered’ = false
• Add a link for each thing, thumbs up, thumbs down, select this as the answer, show only for logged in users, post author, whatever.
• Ajax call for update_post_meta on the appropriate key
• (I haven’t figured out listing the posts in order of up or down votes)

Let me know if you want to bounce some ideas around, and I hope this helps get you started!
