I’m trying to come up with a way to show additional information on the lastest discussions on the front page. I want to show the topic author’s avatar, name, title, the date it was first posted, and the forum it is in. I found some author functions in the post.php, but I think I need to make them within a post loop calling only the firs post. I haven’t figured out how to do that or how the topics.php is doing it.

Here is what I’ve tried so far:

‘<?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?></p>

Okay, I’ve managed to figure some of it out, I’m using:

<br />

<pre><code><?php $posts = get_thread( $topic->topic_id, $page ); //pulls posts fo each topic?>

<li <?php topic_class(); ?> style="border: 1px solid green;">

<?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?>

<ul class="TopicStarterInfo">

<li><?php post_author_avatar(); ?></li>

<li><?php post_author_link(); ?></li>

<li><?php post_author_title(); ?>

<li><?php printf( __('Posted %s ago'), bb_get_post_time() ); ?> </li>

<li><?php echo $bb_post->forum_id;?></li>

</ul>

<?php endforeach; ?>

But its pulling all the post authors. I think I need to limit to the first one, but I’m not exactly sure how to do that.

Edit: figured it out from: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/separating-the-first-post-of-each-topic#post-21808

using:

<?php $bb_post = $posts[0]; unset($posts[0]); $del_class = post_del_class();?>

instead of the foreach.
