Re: 1st line of the first post in a topic?
try this..
create a plugin with this code..
function your_function_name($where) {
global $topic;
return $where . ' AND topic_id = ' . $topic->topic_id;
}
function get_first_post_of_current_topic() {
add_filter('get_latest_posts_where','your_function_name');
get_latest_posts(1);
}
call get_first_post_of_current_topic in the loop where you show tipc name.
let me know if works.. this is just a hunch
cheers
