Forgive me if this topic has been brought up before but I searched and couldn’t find anything.

What I would like is to have a section for “latest comments”. I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks in advance.

I’m still trying to figure out a way to get this worked out. Any takers?

[@batrachoid Member 15 years, 5 months ago]

Can you be more specific? Do you want to pull the latest comments from your wordpress site into your forums?

[@crackpixels Member 15 years, 5 months ago]

Sorry.

I meant I wanted to pull the latest replies for topics (bbpress, not wordpress) into my sidebar.

[@crackpixels Member 15 years, 5 months ago]

Can I get some help for this?

[@chandersbs Member 15 years, 5 months ago]

This would be a nice feature.

“bbPress Live” plugin used to do this before WordPress 2.8 broke it. It’s on my todo list to fix it.

[@chandersbs Member 15 years, 5 months ago]

As crackpixels said, he meant to have a list of “latest replies for topics.”

I hope we won’t be needing a WP install to make this plugin work.

Wait, just your latest posts in BB in your bb-sidebar?

You could port ’em in via RSS or make a function to call your database and pull in the latest posts.

[@crackpixels Member 15 years, 5 months ago]

Thanks for the reply, Ipstenu. Can you please explain what changes I’d need to make and what I would need to insert into my templates in order to pull the ‘comments’ RSS feed into my sidebar?

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 5 months ago]

I’d be lazy and take something like Tom (db)’s WPNews and flip it around

For RSS, you can google around for solutions. I’m not sure there are any bb specific ones.
