PLEASE HELP! Show latest topic title with excerpt in subforum (See image)

    • Posted 7 months ago #

    Dears,

    Is it possible to show the the latest topic title in a sub forum on the frontpage? See image below for example:

    This is normally with every forum software and i can't get this to work.
    If been looking for this a couple of weeks now on this forum and Google but with no results.

    Can anyone please help?

    Thanks in advance!

    Anyone?

    You would actually need to modify theme files, particularly the forum loop and CSS files to do that. It involves a bit of time and no one has tried to do it yet. I'll see to it when I get time. :)

    Actually it was quite easy to do:

    Modify archive forum:

    <div id="forum-front" class="bbp-forum-front">
<div class="entry-content">

	<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-forum' ); ?>
	<br><br>
	<h3>Recent Topics:</h3>
	<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-topic' ); ?>

</div>
</div><!-- #forum-front -->

    Notice I am simply calling the content-archive-topic template.

    **Obviously there is more to it than simply modding a core file which is not good. I am going to assume that you are using a custom theme/child-theme and modifying the templates from there.

    No, he actually wants to have threaded forum table so that the recent topic of the subforums is displayed too, instead of just topic and reply count in parenthesis. Am I right?

    My bad, I thought he was asking about displaying topics, should have read it better. I've done that part as well, although it is not as straightforward an answer.
