Simply download the Zip-Archive and extract all folder into your wp-content/plugins/ directory. Then go into your WordPress administration page, click on Plugins and activate it. Go to BbLD Option page, to setup this plugin.
make sure the path become like this “wp-content/plugins/bbpress-latest-discussion/”
It is to make sure that wordpress find the plugin correctly so it can check for new update.
Usage:
I’ve created three “template tags” you can use in your pages :
- wp_bb_get_discuss() : Show Bbpress latest discussion on wp static page.
- wp_bb_get_discuss_sidebar() : Show Bbpress latest discussion on wp sidebar.
Examples of use:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | <?php // Example Code For Page/Post Display if function_exists('wp_bb_get_discuss') { wp_bb_get_discuss(); } ?> |
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | <?php // Example Code For Sidebar Display if function_exists('wp_bb_get_discuss_sidebar') { wp_bb_get_discuss_sidebar(); } ?> |
Optional Usage: Choose what forum to be show on page. Override exclude setting.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | <?php // Example Code For Page/Post Display if function_exists('wp_bb_get_discuss') { wp_bb_get_discuss(1,2,3,4,5); // The forum ID number that you want to show. Separate by comma. } ?> |

I’ve been trying everything to get this plugin to work. I just moved my database from a separate bbPress one to the wordpress one, but still no luck. I have the latest versions (WP 2.6.2, bbPress 0.9) and I configured the config file properly.
Can you help?
Using

actually there is no config file. U need to edit the option from “Bbld Option” page. There is a section for using separate database. U can even use different host.

I’ve got the “bbpress-ru_RU.po” & “bbpress-ru_RU.mo” files in bbld plugin directory, but stil seeing english language in BbLD Option page and on the widget in sidebar!? Can you what exactly I need to do?

Nice plugin- thanks – but the column that displays the last poster name is only displaying names for moderators – it does not show the last poster name if the poster is a member, not a moderator – that column is just blank. How can I fix this in the code? I want it to display the name no matter what the level of poster is….thanks.

Great plug-in!
I am trying to prevent the sidebar display showing deleted or spam posts. Is there something I can edit in the SQL request that will filter out span and deleted posts?

Hi, this plugin displays latest discussions form the forum with URLs like domain.com/forum/topic/1 when pretty permalinks is checked. For seo purposes when slugs are used in bbpress discussions it should link to the URL with the slug like domain.com/forum/topic/first-topic.
Are there any ways to fix this?
Using
Mozilla Firefox 3.0.7 on 
Mac OS X
I would also like to know how to fix the way the permalink is displayed – I have pretty permalinks enabled but on my home page where the links are shown it shows them as /topic.php?id=117
ALSO it displays the table with ALL rows tagged with class=”alt” – is there a way to alternate this so every other row is class=”alt” so I can use it for styling alternate rows?
Lastly you have a problem with this comment form – when you hit “tab” to go from name to email or email to website or website to comment it keeps taking you back up to your search box input – not to the next input in this form – you can fix that using tabindex

Thanks for the plug in – just getting started with bbpress and this is a great help with my blog.
I can use in my index.php file to add the latest discussions to my blog but I don’t know how to use the template tag ‘wp_bb_get_discuss()’ to add the latest discussion to a particular WP page. Where do I type the template tag ‘wp_bb_get_discuss()’ to get the page to display the latest discussion?

The first post should read I can use the php code in my index.php file to add the latest discussions to my blog but I don’t know how to use the template tag ‘wp_bb_get_discuss()’ to add the latest discussion to a particular WP page. Where do I type the template tag ‘wp_bb_get_discuss()’ to get the page to display the latest discussion?

You should edit the template file that are use for page display. For default kubrik try find ‘page.php’

Yes that’s great – I’ve edited template files before but didn’t know you could apply a specific template to a particular page – very useful! Is it possible to insert BBLD into posts in a similar way?

You can use wordpress plugin for that purpose..

Hi there ,
This is great that there is a plugin which will show all the latest post on your wp-page. But this is limited to bbpress.
Why dunt you create some plugin for other forums also.. like vBull and AEF and like phpbb ….
It will be great for wp user to get these plugin..

That was a nice idea. Maybe it can be done by using wordpress framework but the function wont be much.
Well… i try to put that on my to do list…

awesome plugin thanks for your work on this.
Any chance of having gravatar support built into the template options?
Cheers!

Well it can be done. Right now the gravatar support version has been add inside the trunk with another new template tag post count for sidebar.
Maybe after test it, i will put inside the stable tag

Hi Atsutane,
your plugin works really great.
One short question. Is there a way to call wp_bb_get_discuss(); so that it only gets the content out of one forum?
I use the sidebar for all forums but want to display on the mainpage only items in special forum?
Daniel
Using
Mozilla Firefox 3.0.10 on 
Windows XP
Actually for now there is no way to call for a different view for each page display and sidebar display since both of them sharing the same exclude and query function.
But it not like it cant be done either. The `wp_bb_get_discuss();` function need some code change in order to do that.
