Gotcha. Thanks, it’s working great now

there is no place for the phpbb database password

you don’t enter a password, you should give the wordpress user permissions to read the phpbb table.

The only problem now is that there is no place for the phpbb database password and it cannot connect. :-/

TBH I can’t think of a way straight away; now that I’ve got the administrator panel working, I’ll add your suggestion to my planned features. I have a feeling I would have to check another table for that functionality as the “topc_time” date relates to the date the thread was started, not replied

Thanks this plugin is working great for me.

I was just wondering if there is a way to display the topics with the most recent replies? This would be a way to show the user which topics are currently active.

Thanks,

David

That can probably be solved by selecting all forums greater than 4, ie. WHERE forum_id > 4 .
I’m still trying to work out the proper logical expression for examples excluding numbers like 1 , 5 & 9.

I can let you know when I’ve got it sorted.

SELECT * FROM $TOPIC_TABLE WHERE forum_id != 1 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT $limit

Great little plugin, so thanks very much. I am the kind of user that once everything is working I only upgrade when it is essential but that functionality should be great for new users.

There seem to be quite a few phpbb/wordpress sites out there. I could just not bring myself to use phpnuke.

Thanks again!

There is see this post.

As a side note, I’m about to release the next version that allows the config variables to be set in a wordpresses admin panel. Once I’m happy that’s all stable, I hoping to be able to setup a proper “include / exclude” settings area in wordpress.

Hope that helps
