I am having trouble implementing this plugin, all I get is a tiny unreadable link to a non-existent post and a date of 31/Dec/69 - 5:00 pm.

I’m pretty sure the problem is in the GRANT for the mysql database.

When i run the command:

GRANT SELECT ON phpbb_database_name.phpbb_topics TO wordpress_database_name@p50mysql203.secureserver.net;

i get this “#1142 - GRANT command denied to user ‘phpbb_database_name’@'68.178.254.44′ for table ‘phpbb_topics’ ”

i am sure the phpbbdatabasename and wordpressdatabasename are correct, and i am definitely logged into the phpbbdatabase, as it is displayed at the top of the phpmyadmin window.

i am using a shared hosting account on godaddy (thus the secureserver.net address), and on the phone with tech support they swear i am allowed to grant access to another database. maybe they are lying?

as a side note, the ‘68.178.254.44′ does not match the ip for either database server. the ip where my phpbbdatabase resides is displayed as 10.6.171.64 at the top of phpmyadmin. of course, i did not enter the 68. number into the query, only entering the wordpress mysql server in place of @localhost. could this be the issue? and how can i resolve it?

another side note is that my wordpress is running on a mysql 5.0 and phpbb is running on mysql 4.1, problem?

thanks in advance for any help.

If I don´t want to show posts that are in private forums what I should do?

Thanks Brian, I'm glad you liked it, and thank you for your positive feedback. I would guess the smart way to style the output would be to add a class to ~/phpbb-recent-topics/display/display.php, so perhaps changing echo "<ul>"; for echo '<ul class="topics">'; and adding a topics style to you css? rgds, Nick

Great plugin, Nick. I did a write-up on it at my site, WordpressIntoCMS.com.

In the post I mentioned the missing argument issue which I now see after reading these comments that others are having, too. Maybe you could include something in the documentation about it.

Now I am working on styling the output as an unordered list and I’m wondering if you have any tips on how to assign tags to each forum topic link.

I think with a little promotion and a couple of upgrades (maybe a fancy name, too) your plugin would become extremely popular. There are a lot of people out there looking for a solution like this but nobody has really taken the bull by the horns yet.

Thanks again for your work!
