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

I want to have a preview of what's inside the forum, essentially, so that people can click on links from outside them. Kind of like what PunBB has by default. But right now, they way I set it up, it seems to copy the first one for all the forums... I don't know how I'm supposed to set it up. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/latest-post-in-forum-list#post-15382 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 03:55:48 +0000 chrishajer 15382@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Can you describe what you are looking for exactly, I am having a hard time envisioning it. So, for example, under your "Community" forum, in addition to the description of that forum, you want to say something like "Latest post: $whatever by $whoever at $time"? For all the different forums? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/latest-post-in-forum-list#post-15367 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:38:23 +0000 berfarah 15367@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Anyone? x.x </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/latest-post-in-forum-list#post-15352 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 23:09:17 +0000 berfarah 15352@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I want to be able to add the latest post made in a forum section on the front page (and everywhere it lists forums).</p> <p>If I try to do that, it will just keep repeating the value for the first throughout the list.</p> <p><a href="www.delaytactics.com/forums">It's on this site, if it makes a difference </a></p> <p>Thanks in advance for any help :) </p>
