Hi, I am using bbPress as part of a wordpress site. I would like to show “recent activity” in a sidebar widget without using too much screen space. In other words a combination of the “recent topics” and “recent replies” widgets, e.g. as below (1 topic, 1 reply, but able to set number would be good also)
“Recent Forum Activity”
Latest Topic…
Latest Reply…

Is that possible with shortcodes? else maybe a way to combine the output of the two current widgets?
Thanks

P.S. It is possible to achive the output I want by hacking the common/widgets.php file, (not that I am suggesting this is good, as will be overwritten on upgrades!)
in widgets.php, changing the Topics widget query on lines 743 and 764 as below does what I want! Maybe not too hard for author to add customise this properly?
HACK:

			// Order by most recent replies
			case 'freshness' :
				$topics_query = array(
					'post_type'      => array(bbp_get_topic_post_type(),bbp_get_reply_post_type() ), //HACKED!
					// 'post_type'      => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
