This plugin will generates Latest Discussion list from your bbpress forum into your wordpress page.
Bbpress Latest Discussion
Powered By bbPress.org
Requirements:
This plugin requires Wordpress 2.0.5 or better. If you are using an older version, I strongly recommend you to upgrade to the latest version. You can get it at the WordPress Download Page.
Installation:
Simply download the Zip-Archive and extract all files into your wp-content/plugins/ directory. Open the “BBpress.php” file using editor program and adjust the path to suit your bbpress location. Then go into your WordPress administration page, click on Plugins and activate it.
Update:
Simply download the Zip-Archive, deactivate Bbpress Latest Discussion, extract all files into your wp-content/plugins/ directory and reactivate Bbpress Latest Discussion. That’s all
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:
<?php wp_bb_get_discuss(); ?>
<?php wp_bb_get_discuss_sidebar(); ?>

Thank you for this great plugin! Tip: You might wanna add instuctions how to change the number of post shown and the “Last 10 Discussions” title. I managed to do it myself, but perhaps everybody won’t… Thanks again (and thanks to Trent for posting in the bbPress forums)!

I asked the same question in the bbPress forum, but I though I’d bring it up here as well: Is there any way to combine this great little plugin with the Use display name plugin? I want it to show my nickname instead of my username.
Using
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 on

I update the plugin already .. Now it gonna show “display name” instead of “username” like before. Tell me how it going

am I an idiot? I changed path to my bbpress install, I uploaded to plugins, and then I pasted into my sidebar . nothing broken, but nothing showing either.
what am I missing? using bbpress .8 and wordpress 2.1
thanks if u can offer any help.

so sorry, in this post I had included the code “openbracketphp wp_bb_get_discuss_sidebar(); “qustionmark close bracket”

Btw, do your bbpress db is the same place as wordpress db?
Using
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 on 
Windows XP
yes, it is.
thanks for the quick reply.
Using
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 on

Well i try already with wp 2.1.1 and bbpress 0.8.1. It work perfectly without any problem
I want to know. Do u use custom bbpress db prefix?
Using
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 on 
Windows XP
no I don’t. I have other plugins working. I’m sure that I’ve made a mistake somewhere (possibly in how I’m placing the tag)?
Using
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 on 
Windows XP
Try to use other tag inside your template. If it still not working send me ur copy of bbpress config.php

Is there a way to use this if your WordPress and bbPress installations are in different databases?
Using
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 on 
Windows XP
Another issue I noticed - this plugin requires bbpress to be installed in a subdirectory of the WordPress installation. My bbPress installation is not a subdirectory of my WordPress (nor do I want to make it such), so how do I adjust the path accordingly?

If it helps you to know, I do not have my WordPress and bbPress installations integrated with each other.
Using
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 on

Before i start i need to know something. When u say display name. Do you mean default bbpress display name or bbpress plugin display name.
Using
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 on 
Windows XP
default. I’m not using the bbpress plugin for display name.
Using
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 on

Well i think version 0.5 should work correctly for you

I have this problem in my sidebar:
WordPress database error: [Table 'enghave_park.bb_topics' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status = 0 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 5
I use bbPress 0.73 and WP 2.0.5.
Would upgrading both bbpress and WP solve the problem?
Using
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 on 
Windows XP
When the first time i create this plugin i use WP 2.0.5 and BBP 0.73, So i dont think that will be the problem. I need to know some info. Do your bbpress using the same database username and database name with wordpress?
Using
Internet Explorer 6.0 on 
Windows XP
Yes. But different prefix on the tables. I use bbpress integratiln plugin too. Under bbpress options I have checked “integrated with WordPress” and not checked “External DB” or “Bbpress Permalink”.

Hi again!I’ve just updated from 0.3 to 0.6. Nice work!
However, I have the same problem as Mark. I’m running WP 2.1.2 and bbPress 0.8.1-1 with the integration plugin and display name plugin.
Using

Btw, I’m not using the default WP database prefix.

Hello Atsutane. It works perfectly now:
http://www.enghavepark.dk
You’ll find the list in action under headline “Seneste indlæg i forum”. I’ve made some minor adjustments to localize it to danish. You might consider to get_text the plugin. I’ve also marked out the number of posts line because I don’t use it. But its really minor adjustments.
Thank you very much for your speed and willingness to dive into the code and make revisions. I’ve recommended your plugin on the danish WordPress community:

I’m sure someone will write songs about you some day

Hi, I’ve been trying to figure out how to display more than just the last post in a topic, but my php skills are not quite advanced enough to figure it out. I saw that Stuffy from Sweden wrote:
Changing the title was easy, but showing more than one post per topic or forum I can’t figure out, can anyone help me out?
thanks

I cant understand what u trying to say
Correct me if I’m wrong. By any chance do you mean you wan to show latest post base on certain forum category only?
If can post your web url so i can see how u do it right now

Unfortunately I can’t show you the site, as it is an academic site that I’m managing for a professor, he wants everything password protected. I’ve installed everything correctly, I’m using WP 2.0.4. I’m using the widget to display the posts on the sidebar.
My problem is that right now only one post shows on the sidebar, the latest post. So if I add another reply post to the topic, it will only show the new post, not the older posts. I’ve set the post limit to 10, 50, 100, it doesn’t change anything. I’m using BBpress 0.74. As far as I can see it should work…
Any help you can give me would be great, this plug-in is just what I needed, as I have to show comments from the blog and forum on the mainpage. Thanks!

“WordPress database error: [Table 'taiyo_wordpress.bb_forums' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM bb_forums ORDER BY forum_order ASC”
My Bbpress database is not the same as Wordpress database.
I enable the last option and the Bbpress DB User, Pass, Name & Host is ok but the plugin continues trying to use the Wordpress DB.
bbPress Desmond 0.8.1 (taiyo_wordpress DB)
WordPress 2.1.3 (taiyo_bbpress DB)
Using

Do you click the “External DB” option? and what do you put as “Bbpress DB Prefix:”?
It suppose to work, because there is some people already using this plugin with external db.

Hi
I’ve got a problem with your plugin. It has to deal with character encoding. My blog is in French and I’ve got a topic title that is “On teste tout ça!”. Unfortunately, on the sidebar it appears like: “On teste tout ça!”.
I’m wondering if there was a way to fix that.
Thx anyway for your plugin.

Actually i also kinda have no idea how that happening. Im using wordpress code to parse the forum title. If bbpress can read it correctly, wordpress should be able to do the same
Anyway i think the problem is how the plugin read the data from the database. Maybe somewhere somehow i forgot to add something
Well i will look on it later.

Hey! Kickin’ plugin, dude! One option I would like to see added, though, is the ability to alter the name of the Widget. You could either add this to the options page for the plugin, or add the title to the Widget.
Thanks much!

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.
