It works pretty neat. sambauers on "Next page on "latest discussions?"" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/next-page-on-latest-discussions#post-19708 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:27:26 +0000 sambauers 19708@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I've added the ability to do this to the development trunk. If you want to backport this to an older bbPress, you can follow the changes here: <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1786" rel="nofollow">http://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1786</a> Then drop the function <code><?php bb_latest_topics_pages(); ?></code> wherever you want it in the front-page template to show pagination. geltoorch on "Next page on "latest discussions?"" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/next-page-on-latest-discussions#post-19707 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 10:04:17 +0000 geltoorch 19707@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Yes, I realize. So how do I make it a possibility? sambauers on "Next page on "latest discussions?"" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/next-page-on-latest-discussions#post-19704 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:35:43 +0000 sambauers 19704@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Latest discussions on the front page is meant for latest discussions... so paging has never been a possibility there. Forum pages do provide paging of topics though. geltoorch on "Next page on "latest discussions?"" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/next-page-on-latest-discussions#post-19699 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 07:48:42 +0000 geltoorch 19699@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Thanks, but there will eventually be hundreds of posts and it's just ridiculous to show 1000 posts on one page. Any other ideas? chrishajer on "Next page on "latest discussions?"" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/next-page-on-latest-discussions#post-19698 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 07:29:10 +0000 chrishajer 19698@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I don't know of anything for adding page links for the latest discussions, but there is this plugin for changing the number of items being displayed. Maybe that will help? <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/front-page-topics/page/2/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/front-page-topics/page/2/</a> geltoorch on "Next page on "latest discussions?"" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/next-page-on-latest-discussions#post-19696 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 07:13:40 +0000 geltoorch 19696@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to add a "next page" to the latest discussions. I have a lot of different forums but want people to see all the content aggregated on the "latest" section because it captures all the topics. So is there a way to put in a "next page" link on the front page and subsequent pages? I'm not great with php, but if it takes some coding, I could probably manage if someone can give me directions. If it works out, I'll probably make it into a plugin for everyone.

Theoretically you could use: <code>post_text(forum_last_topic_id()); But with the truncation method he mentions.

I'm quite the novice when it comes to PHP, but perhaps I can figure out how to mod this. chrishajer on "Displaying a small snippet of the most recent post" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/displaying-a-small-snippet-of-the-most-recent-post#post-19236 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 17:37:19 +0000 chrishajer 19236@http://bbpress.org/forums/ How about this as a starting point? <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/excerpts?replies=14#post-12656" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/excerpts?replies=14#post-12656</a> clicknathan on "Displaying a small snippet of the most recent post" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/displaying-a-small-snippet-of-the-most-recent-post#post-19231 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 14:57:55 +0000 clicknathan 19231@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Would anyone perhaps know how I might display a small snippet of the most recent post in a forum under that forum's title on the front page? So, my front page might look like: My Forum Here is a bit of text from the most recent post in this forum Another of my Forums And here is some text from this forum's most recent post Etc, etc. mrhoratio on "plugin idea: "moderator chosen front-page topics"" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-idea-moderator-chosen-front-page-topics#post-15881 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 06:36:15 +0000 mrhoratio 15881@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hey CK, I'm very much interested in this plugin. Also, it'd be great if you can get it to work with Wordpress. So, that you can have the ability to promote a forum topic to a show up in a Wordpress loop. jenz on "Full Content of Most Recent Post on Front-Page?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/full-content-of-most-recent-post-on-front-page/page/2#post-15552 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 01:29:29 +0000 jenz 15552@http://bbpress.org/forums/ If I used: <pre><code><?php $forum_id = 1; $number_of_topics = 7; $forum_one_topics = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->topics WHERE forum_id = $forum_id ORDER BY topic_id DESC LIMIT 0,$number_of_topics") ?> <?php foreach($forum_one_topics as $topic) : $forum_one_topic_posts = get_thread( $topic->topic_id); ?></code></pre> (as see at the beginning of this topic) - how can I show the initial topic time on the front page instead of the last reply time? guerroloco on "How to show forum title on latest topics list?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-show-forum-title-on-latest-topics-list#post-12133 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 15:01:33 +0000 guerroloco 12133@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Perfect, that's it!

Something in the topics loop in front-page.php ought to do it.... but what? I tried get_forum_name(), but that takes the forum ID. Is the forum ID available anywhere in the $topic var inside the loop? _ck_ on "plugin idea: "moderator chosen front-page topics"" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-idea-moderator-chosen-front-page-topics#post-10094 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 05:17:40 +0000 _ck_ 10094@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I wanted to see if there is any interest in this plugin idea before I start coding it. I may just make it part of the "My Views" plugin. Many (busy) forums have the smart idea of a front page that consists of moderator promoted threads (topics) instead of just the "latest discussions". But of course some will prefer just the automated "latest discussions" if they don't have enough moderators or the traffic to maintain a hand selected list. So I could make a plugin that let's moderators promote a topic to the front page. And then in your template you could replace or suppliment the "latest discussions" with the list. Then "latest discussions" would just become an optional view in the views list.

Passing parameters is just giving the function some data to work with. <code>$latestpost->topic_id</code> is the topic ID. There are probably some functions like <code>topic_title()</code> and <code>link_to_topic()</code> or similar that you can use to get the title and link. They too will need the topic ID passed as a parameter, so if those are the actual functions it could be <code>topic_title( $latestpost->topic_id );</code> :) outchy on "Full Content of Most Recent Post on Front-Page?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/full-content-of-most-recent-post-on-front-page/page/2#post-9578 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 01:10:57 +0000 outchy 9578@http://bbpress.org/forums/ wait, i got this to work to display the name: <code><?php echo get_user_name($latestpost->poster_id); ?></code> and this to make it into a link to the person's profile: <code><a href="<?php user_profile_link($latestpost->poster_id); ?>"><?php echo get_user_name($latestpost->poster_id); ?></a></code> now all i need is to display the topic title and make it a link ... i need help with this one please :) outchy on "Full Content of Most Recent Post on Front-Page?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/full-content-of-most-recent-post-on-front-page/page/2#post-9577 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 01:06:21 +0000 outchy 9577@http://bbpress.org/forums/ so to get the last poster's username to display, do you do something like this? <code><?php echo get_user_name($user_id); ?></code> i guess i don't understand the whole passing parameters thing :/ _ck_ on "Full Content of Most Recent Post on Front-Page?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/full-content-of-most-recent-post-on-front-page/page/2#post-9570 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 17:46:24 +0000 _ck_ 9570@http://bbpress.org/forums/ er, nevermind me, you're doing it within bbpress... fel64 on "Full Content of Most Recent Post on Front-Page?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/full-content-of-most-recent-post-on-front-page/page/2#post-9568 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 17:18:36 +0000 fel64 9568@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I don't know which ones you had problems with but it's worth noting that some automatically echo and some don't. <code><?php user_profile_link(); ?></code> = <code><?php echo get_user_profile_link(); ?></code> If they're <code>get_anything</code> then you have to echo them yourself, if they don't have <code>get_*</code> then it'll echo on its own.
