bbPress.org

Hey guys,

I’m currently putting together my first site using WordPress % bbPress (they are both linked etc).

What i’m trying to do is display the 4 most recent active threads. By this, i do not mean the last 5 posts. I mean the latest 5 threads that have posts made in them. I hope that makes sense.

E.g.

[Thread Title] by [Original Poster]

I came across a script which links my bbPress RSS feed to my WordPress custom template, here it is:

<?php if(function_exists('fetch_feed')) {

include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/feed.php');

$feed = fetch_feed('http://localhost/wordpress/bbpress/rss.php?forum=1');

$limit = $feed->get_item_quantity(4);

$items = $feed->get_items(0, $limit);

}

if ($limit == 0) echo '';

else foreach ($items as $item) : ?>



<ul class="latest">



<li>



<span class="title"><?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></span>



</li>



<?php endforeach; ?>

I tried linking to “http://localhost/wordpress/bbpress/rss” etc but “http://localhost/wordpress/bbpress/rss.php?forum=1” was the only feed i could pick up. It doesn’t really matter though considering i’ll only have the single forum section anyway.

Now, this produces the following on my WordPress template:

Tigeran on “Your first topic”

[Last Post Author] on [Thread Title]

As stated before, i want it to appear like this:

[Thread Title] by [Original Poster]

I soon found out that i needed to edit the rss2.php file located in bbpressbb-templateskakumei folder as i’m using this template. Looking through it i came across this:

<title><?php post_author(); ?> <?php _e('on')?> "<?php topic_title( $bb_post->topic_id ); ?>"</title>

& changed it to this:

<title><?php topic_title( $bb_post->topic_id ); ?> <?php _e('by')?> <?php post_author(); ?></title>

But there is no change as it stays as the original. It’s like i cannot overwrite this file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
