I did it with the following piece of code:

<div id="recent-topics-block">
	<?php
		if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ) )
		bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'latest-topics' );
	?>
	</div>

How can I rename Topics to Tickets in BBPress? I have renamed the tags as such but would like the actual topics heading to read Tickets.

I also notice on this message system you have a sub menu 'not resolved', 'resolved and 'not a support question', which is something I would also like to include.

I am trying to build a Project Management and Support system that includes tickets. I already have a general forum function via Buddypress, so I created a secondary forum page called tickets and included the shortcodes to configure it as a ticket system.

I have looked around the net and here extensively, so forgive me if I have overlooked something obvious.

Thanks in advance.

Then just head to pages.

Can we create more documentation? I notice the same question on the forums over and over again about the bbp_list_forums, removing the commas. I was thinking about explaining the bbp_list_forums function for templating?

The forum is still WIP though, but I am liking how it is coming along :)

I have the Black Label wordpress theme on my site and as such it comes with a fullscreen background image option on every post and page. I bought this theme for this very reason. Now, when I plugged in bbpress, I had to use the shortcodes on the main forum page which was no problem but when I click on the forum or the topic links, I get sent to a page that instead of saying "edit page" in the admin bar, it says "Edit forum" or "Edit topic" and doesn't allow me to set the background image.

Now I looked into creating a default background image by changing some .css but this sets that image for ALL the pages, (page.php) and though it is overridden by the set background image in the theme, it isn't pleasing to my eye to have one background image when you open and a second or two later have another one pop up on top of it. So I trashed this option.

Did some research on how I can resolve this problem and found a previous thread here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Needless to say that it interested me that I could create my own wrapper and have the forums and topics open up in a special page and have a set background for that page alone that won't affect my other pages.

Well, this is the skinny of my situation. I hope I gave you enough info this time, sorry for not doing it from the get go. Can I do this? Where do I change the default wrapper to my new one? I'm imagining it's in the function sets. Or perhaps there is an even better solution to my situation. What do yo suggest Brandon?

Oh, and thanks for your time :)

Thanks in advance. Been working on this for a while with no luck.

I am loving BBpress, it is awesome.

I have been playing around with it a little bit and got it looking pretty nice!
Not that it didn't in the first place... how easy was that setup.

What do you think?

I am still working on the general categories and topic/post area but I really like the way it looks.
