OK, so I have a WP/bbP integrated blog/forum that also uses bbPress instead of comments. It works really well, with the only problem being that the “Latest Discussion” is almost always just a list of the last 10 blog posts since we don’t get a whole lot of comments. To fix this, I worked up a plugin that grabs the last “X” topics that have 2 or more posts and displays them in a table just like the Latest Discussion table.

You can see exactly what I am talking about here.

And, no, it doesn’t play nice with my bb-Topic-Views plugin. It sucks, I know. Maybe I’ll figure out how to fix this later…

Would anyone else be interested in a plugin like this? If so, I’ll spend the time writing up the documentation, etc. so it can be released as an official plugin. If I don’t hear from anyone, I will probably not waste any more time on it since it is already working as I want it to on my site.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I think it is worth the time to make a plugin. I like the idea.

I’m kind of torn actually but if you see the need or desire for it, I’d give you a thumbs up for the idea.
