    Hi!

    I have two questions:
    1. How can I show Date and Time below member/author info in the LD-Sidebar?
    2. How can I hide post older than a specific date??

    Thank you for support!

  2. Korhan says:

    I cant have your plugin activated. I have wp 2.3.3 and bbpress 8.3. they have separate database. Please help me!

  3. hpguru says:

    Good plugin. Thanks.

  4. Damian says:

    thanks for this plugin.

    however, is it possible to display the freshness of the latest posts?

  5. indojepang says:

    [quote comment=""]Why wouldn’t you just throw this into the mu-plugins folder? That seems the simplest option. You might need to make some quick edits to make it work, I haven’t looked yet, but it shouldn’t be hard.[/quote]

    i’m in wpmu 1.5. but can’t get it work for blogs.. main blog is fine..

  6. seriyoz says:

    but unsupported for cyrillic fonts

  7. Exclusive says:

  8. KindaGamey says:

    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?

  9. 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.

  10. Recon says:

    Well done plugin. It works great. Thank you. Just don’t understand how can I make it to be in my native russian language? I’m using russian wordpress from lecactus and russian bbpress from bbpress.ru – all works fine! 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?

  11. cartmanffc says:

    how can I exclude hidden forums, show time next to last messages and use charset utf-8?

    great plugin – thanks

  12. cartmanffc says:

    now I know how to exclude hidden forums but still don’t know how show time next to last messages and use charset utf-8

    and btw the plugin works with wp 2.6.1 and bb 1.0 alpha

  13. michael says:

    Hi!

    The plugin works fine!!
    How can integrate an information about the time into the widget, that shows the time when a post was posted within the forum ???

    Thanks michael

  14. Trisha says:

    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.

  15. Guillo says:

    Same problem that trisha here… What could be happening?
    Thanks in advance…

  16. Michael says:

    Great work, thank you!

    I seems to have one bug, it also shows deleted topics.

    Regards
    Michael

  17. Mr Risk says:

    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?

    Thanks

  18. Ionut says:

    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?

  19. trisha says:

    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

  20. trisha says:

    Thanks for fixing all the issues I had with the current version 1.0.1 – now your plugin is perfect!!

  21. Mick says:

    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?

  22. Mick says:

    Apologies, above should read I can use “ in my index.php file to add the latest discussions to my blog.

  23. Mick says:

    …ok … php code not showing in the discussions! :o )
    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?

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

    Hope this gonna help

  25. Mick says:

    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?

  26. Mick says:

    Thank you very much – I’ve learned quite a bit there – regardless of the plug-in! :0)

  27. 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..

  28. @Abhishek

    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… :)

  29. Dale-Anthony says:

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

    Cheers!

  30. 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

  31. xdaniel says:

    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

    • 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.
