Version: 0.0.3
Last Updated: 2008-8-16
Requires bbPress Version: 0.8.2 or higher
Compatible up to: trunk
Adds forum_last_poster(), forum_time(), forum_last_post_link() and other functions to bbPress to mimic the topic tables' FRESHNESS column. Requires simple template edits.
High performance: uses only a single extra query regardless of the number of forums listed (when topics are on same page).
You can see a demonstration of this plugin in action by looking at the forum list at the top of http://bbshowcase.org/forums/
(notice the "Last Poster" column)
The code used to make that column is:
<td class="num"><?php echo '<a href="'.get_forum_last_post_link().'">'.get_forum_last_poster().'<small>'.get_forum_time().' ago</a></small>'; ?></td>Is this stuff can be used to display gravatar of last poster? If so, how?
if we can have the title of the last post, in wich last comment was made?
and it is possible to add a function to truncate this, for the title wich are too big? :)
great plugin ck! hum, i think is great if this plugin is in bbpress bu default :D
bye,
Fred
csseur3 you can take advantage of the function forum_last_topic_id() to fetch any info you'd like about the last topic in a forum.
Here is an example of how to use it:
topic_title(forum_last_topic_id());
That will echo the last topic title to the screen.
Or to store it and manipulate it further:
$last_topic_title=get_topic_title(forum_last_topic_id());(you'll need to do some PHP to limit the length, like the substr function, see php.net)
$last_topic_title=substr($last_topic_title,0,40);
or you can fetch everything about the last topic:
$last_topic=get_topic(forum_last_topic_id());
and then you can determine things like how many posts it has:
echo "Most recent topic has $last_topic->topic_posts posts";Thion, you can fetch the gravatar through a little indirect code as I don't have a function in there yet to grab all the user's info.
ie.
$last_topic=get_topic(forum_last_topic_id());
$last_topic_poster_id=$last_topic->topic_last_poster;
$last_topic_poster_email=bb_get_user_email($last_topic_poster_id);then you use the email to get the gravatar:
<img src="<?php echo "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5($last_topic_poster_email); ?>">And another thing.
I have this line in my front-page.php
<td class="num"><a href="<?php forum_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php forum_last_poster(); ?></a><br /><?php forum_time(); ?></td>
And I have also this forum is category plugin.
And the problem is that, I dont want this last poster to show if forum is catogory.
Can you help me with this? I have been trying few things but I've failed.
And this is the forum is category plugin: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/forum-is-category/
markok, you could try something like this:
<td class="num"><?php if (!in_array($GLOBALS['forum']->forum_id, $GLOBALS['forums_that_are_categories'])) {
?><a href="<?php forum_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php forum_last_poster(); ?></a><?php } ?><br /><?php forum_time(); ?></td>Thanks, that did the trick.
hey ck,
when a forum was empty, we see the first post's title (the 'your-first-topic' by default) in the column. So i think it is interestig to create a "error message" like "sorry, this forum is empty" :p
