How do I add forum name to latest discussion.

so instead of saying,

call for testers on the 0.9 branch and 1.0 trunk

to say,

Requests and Feedback: call for testers on the 0.9 branch and 1.0 trunk

I’ve tried <?php forum_name(); ?>

forum_name() requires you to pass the forum_id to it. one way of doing is to get the forum_id for the topic_id and then call it. in other words create a function which takes topic_id as argument and do a mysql query to find out the forum_id & then call it.

I don’t think there is a bb-template function which can do that. you can try coding it. its easy enough.

I don’t know how to write php…

Go it <?php global $topic; forum_name($topic->forum_id);?>

with the help of _ck_’s post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/retrieving-forum-id-from-post-id#post-21521
