Is there a way to post the 5 most recent posts for each forum topic. This is the layout I want to achieve http://socialauthority.ning.com/forum

thanks,
Gio

I bet this could be adapted to work:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/recent-posts-kinda-like-the-edit-comments-in-wp

There is also an RSS feed for Recent Posts in bbPress, so you could probably adapt some sort of RSS importer to display the 5 most recent (this seems like a hack though.)

What you are asking for and what ning.com is doing are two different things. Ning.com is showing the last five TOPICS in a specific FORUM.

Technically you could hack the front-page.php to do what Ning.com is doing. Loop through each forum, and show the most recent five topics for each one, and show the gravatar to the left of the topic starter.

I'm a newbie to the bbpress framework. Is there a function in bbpress that can call each forum and show the most recent topics for each one? Any help on how to getting started is appreciated. If you could provide some code to get started I feel confident to take it from there. I'm sure this layout isn't for everyone but its a refreshing social-like layout that others may like.

Thanks,
Gio
