Reply To: Recent Forum Topics – Scroll widget
Hi Robkk -thank you for addressing this – I see you on here all the time and I’m so glad I got you specifically. If anyone can solve this-it is you.
Allow me to first give you a heads up on what I have here:
1. WordPress (current version)
2. BBpress (current Version)
3. I am currently running only one (1) forum with topics
(may be more forums later- but for now its enough)
Goal: to have “Recent Forum Topics” as a scrolling widget rather than a long static list in my sidebar. I am currently displaying 10 most recent, and would like to scroll 3 of the 10 most recent at a time. (Sounds simple enough -but I have experienced otherwise)
I used this plugin as it seemed to be the closest fit, but it only seems to scroll “Posts” not “Recent Forum Topics” http://www.gopiplus.com/work/2010/07/18/vertical-scroll-recent-post/
(can be found in the WP admin plugins directory)
This plugin widget seems to work great for POSTS, if it did “Recent Forum Topics” it would be perfect.
I have had contact with the author, several emails – he has been very gracious, and prompt in his responses, however, there may be a communication problem in differentiating “Posts” from “Recent Forum Topics”. This is why I’ve finally posted here.
Thank you for your efforts and assistance.
