Recent phpBB Topics on Wordpress Plugin v0.3
Tags: PHP, phpbb, plugin, WordPress
UPDATE: This Plugin has been updated, please download the update from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/phpbb-recent-topics/, and please comment on the new post, thanks.
 |
| Admin GUI |
Another day, another plug-in update…..Version 0.2 never saw the light of day, after fixing my compatibility issue I moved straight into setting up the admin interface. So here we have it, a proper implementation 
Installation
- Unzip phpbb_recent_topics.tgz in your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. (You’ll have a new directory, with this plugin in /wp-content/plugins/phpbb_recent_topics)
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Configure the plugin, you need to tell wordpress about phpbb, this is done in the wordpress menu ‘Options’ -> ‘phpBB Recent Topics’
The following Settings are required:- * The name of your phpBB database (e.g phpbb)
- * The name of the table where topics are held (the default is phpbb_topics )
- * The full url of your forum for links (e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/forum)
- * The number of topics to show. (If left blank you get 5)
- Hit ‘Update Options”
- To output the list of topics in a page or post…
- * create a new page/post, type {phpbb_recent_topics} , hit ‘Publish’ or ‘Create new page’
To output the list of topics in your theme sidebar…
- * edit sidebar.php and inside <div id=”sidebar”> type…
<?php if (function_exists('phpbb_topics')) { phpbb_topics(); } ?>
A bit about Database configuration.
If wordpress & phpBB share a DB already then set $PHPBBDB to DB_NAME and everything will be fine, else you’re going to need to GRANT the wordpress user read access to phpBB.
How to GRANT wordpress read only access to phpBB ?
If you don’t know it already you need to find your wordpress mysql user id, it’ll be in wp-config.php
define('DB_USER', 'wp_user'); // Your MySQL username
and you should have already found your phpbb database & table for the above.
You need to type the following syntax into your mysql database
GRANT SELECT ON phpbb_database.phpbb_topics TO wp_user@localhost;
this can be achieved by logging into phpmyadmin as your phpbb user, selecting SQL and pasting the correct GRANT into the text box.
Upgrading from Version 0.1
Upgrading is optional. This version has two major changes: The first basically fixes the compatibility issue I have running two php ob_start processes in wordpress; the second is the introduction of a “proper” admin interface (rather than hacking the php file).
To upgrade, make a note of the following settings:
$PHPBBDB = "phpbb"; //phpBB db name $TOPIC_TABLE = "phpbb_topics"; //phpbb topics table $SITEURL = "http://www.mydomain.com/forum"; //Forum URL
Deactivate version 0.1, and follow the Installation instructions above
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I output 10 Topics in my Page, and 3 Topics in my Sidebar ?
- Yes ! In the Wordpress menu ‘Options’ -> ‘phpBB Recent Topics’, set ‘The number of topics to show’ to 10, and then in your sidebar include…<?php
if (function_exists(’phpbb_topics’)) {
phpbb_topics(3);
}
?>
- Yes ! In the Wordpress menu ‘Options’ -> ‘phpBB Recent Topics’, set ‘The number of topics to show’ to 10, and then in your sidebar include…<?php
- Can I exclude a certain forum from the list ?
- In this version, the only way to do that is to hack /wp-content/plugins/phpbb_recent_topics/display/display.php, change
$results = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $TOPIC_TABLE ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT $LIMIT");to
$results = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $TOPIC_TABLE WHERE forum_id != 1 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT $LIMIT");to exclude forum 1 from the list. I plan to setup a proper solution to this in the next version.
- In this version, the only way to do that is to hack /wp-content/plugins/phpbb_recent_topics/display/display.php, change
Finally Subversion
You also might be interested to know that I’ve been getting to grips with the wordpress plug-ins svn, so you can get work directly from here; and when wordpress.org re-crawls my readme the latest version will also be available on wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

Nice plug in for phpbb post integrated in wordpress , but it’s not easy request to improve some process
1st April, 2007 - 11:13 am
I’d add a question to the FAQ (which I also like to have answered of course):
Is the plugin phpBB3 compatible?
13th April, 2007 - 7:02 pm
This works for the latest version of Wordpress and the newest version of phpbb (Version 3 Beta)
13th April, 2007 - 7:15 pm
Hey Stickboy, all credit due… thanks for checking that for me !!!
15th April, 2007 - 5:54 am
Hi,
is there a way to include the forum hte topic came from in the output? Also, I would like to be able to display the author of the topic. I have had a bit of a play around, but can’t figure it out.
My install is here: http://www.leighburke.com
Cheers,
Leigh.
15th April, 2007 - 10:11 am
Hi Leigh,
I guess you’ve been got by the typo bug
This version of the plug-in only references one table in phpBB, you’ll notice that both the forum where a topic came from, and the author (topic_poster) are Integer values, the “english” equivalents are held in other tables.
I’ve had a few requests involving functionality where other tables are referenced, and I hope to include that in the next version, but some requests pose a security problem… as wordpress is becoming more popular (and targeted for attacks) opening up the phpbb_users table means that your forum members password hashes are exposed to the wordpress install… I hope to have something sorted soon
5th July, 2007 - 9:23 am
does this work with phpbb3?
5th July, 2007 - 9:24 am
when i click on the options for the plugin, i get a 404 page… any ideas why?
5th July, 2007 - 9:29 am
According to Stickboy, it does.
um no, which ver of WP are you 2.0.10 or 2.2.1 ? is there anything interesting in your apache error_log ?
5th July, 2007 - 9:52 am
2.2.1 is the version… might have something to do with htaccsss…
5th July, 2007 - 9:53 am
kills my site to, so i cant troubleshoot, when i turn it on the whole front end has a database error… i assume the plugin is inserting itself into my sidebar and causing it all to die. any way i can stop that happening so i can troubleshoot?
5th July, 2007 - 10:02 am
Just installed a clean, 2.2.1.
I can get to the options page, but it does indeed kill the site… must be a new thing with 2.2.1… there’s no sidebar insert, just a text filter…. the problem is probably because wp doesn’t have access to the phpbb DB…. I haven’t yet set that up on my Test-Site… I’ll see if that fixes it.
5th July, 2007 - 10:08 am
Just checked the, DB error page is because ~/phpbb_recent_topics/display/display.php
# Connect to php BB
$wpdb->select($PHPBBDB);
fails, as soon as you are able to fix the problem to get to the options page and setup the DB connection, the plugin should then work fine. I’ll check the WP documentation for a “test” to fix this.
13th July, 2007 - 7:09 pm
I’ve installed it and manage to display top 5 topic but I also get an error before the first topic. Error message as per below:
Warning: Missing argument 1 for phpbb_topics() in /home/emenang/public_html/homewordpress/wp-content/plugins/phpbb_recent_topics/phpbb_recent_topics.php on line 70
You can view it here:
http://www.emenang.com/homewordpress/
Any advice?
Cheers!
Sha
13th July, 2007 - 7:17 pm
I manage to solve it by editing some text in line 70 of the affected php file.
Original:
function phpbb_topics($LIMIT) {
New One:
function phpbb_topics() {
No more error message but I would like to know would it cause any bigger threat or issue for my blog?
Cheers!
Sha
16th July, 2007 - 1:16 pm
$LIMIT was supposed to define how many rows are returned on the DB query, I’ll take a look for any further issues for you.
17th July, 2007 - 10:23 pm
Nick,
Cool plugin here - unfortunately, I’m getting seriously rejected bt MySQL. I’ve run the following query:
GRANT SELECT ON jnowings_forum.jnowings_forum_topics TO ‘jnowings_bp’@'localhost’;
my DB is jnowings_forum and the prefix is forum (so forum_topics) … but when I run this command I get the following error:
#1142 - GRANT command denied to user ‘jnowings_forum’@'localhost’ for table ‘jnowings_forum_topics’
I’ve tried running it a few different ways (jnowings_forum_database.forum_topics or jnowings_forum.forum_topics etc…, but those return the same error). Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Thanks-
Justin
18th July, 2007 - 12:44 pm
Hi, after I activate v0.3 of the phpbb plugin and go to options->phpbbBB Recent Topics tab I get a 404 error. The URL in the browser points to /blog/wp-admin/phpbb_recent_topics/display/admin-options.php
My WP is v2.2.1
Has anybody seen this before?
Thanks
LBS
19th July, 2007 - 10:03 am
@Lordbigsack
Odd, on my test 221 install the url is /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=phpbb_recent_topics/display/admin-options.php
19th July, 2007 - 10:04 am
@Justin
What user are you logged into mysql as when you run the GRANT?
19th July, 2007 - 11:03 am
Hi Nick, thanks for reply. I have enabled the plugin again and paste the url you specified into my browser, this brings up the WP page not found (404?) error. could it have anything to do with my hosting package? (IIS) Is there anything I have missed from the install? hmmm, maybe i should download again and reinstall…
I tried some php database queries against the phpbb tables and they return data correctly.
/pulls hair out/
LBS
19th July, 2007 - 12:39 pm
humm, tbh I don’t have an IIS box to test it on, try re-downloading it from my site.. does IIS give you any error logs ?
19th July, 2007 - 1:09 pm
a-ha! found problem. The folder structure was phpbb-recent-posts not phpbb_recent_posts in my plugins directory. Admin screen is now working.
Cheers for replies
LBS
22nd July, 2007 - 4:49 pm
Hello,
it is very nice . I like it
29th July, 2007 - 3:40 pm
hi, very nice plug in, thanks
i got the same issue as lordbigsack with the wrong name, maybe you can add this into FAQ,…
thanks
30th July, 2007 - 8:41 am
Hi nero, thanks for your feedback.
I think it’s something to do with the automagic packaging that wordpress.org do.. I will look at getting it fixed… life just a bit busy at the mo
14th August, 2007 - 6:12 pm
Do you know how to get this to work with wp-cache? When wp-cache is enable, the recent topics don’t get updated because the page is cached. I tried following the wp-cache directions for dynamic parts of a page, but no luck.
14th August, 2007 - 6:22 pm
wow, good question bob…. umm give me sometime, and I’ll look into it.
22nd August, 2007 - 6:38 am
yeah i’ve got mine working now
the folder in the zip has dashes not underscores so i used to get a 404 when i tried to access the admin options, just replaces the dashes with underscores and it should work.
i also had to edit line 70 of the recent topics php and update it to this
function phpbb_topics() {
the limit still works.
22nd August, 2007 - 7:22 pm
Has anyone gotten around the database issue? When trying to allow the wordpress database to read the phpbb database, I still get an error.
23rd August, 2007 - 9:44 am
what user are you running the command as Terence ?
23rd August, 2007 - 9:59 am
never had that issue…
MAKE SURE you have the SAME USER that you use for your WP database has acess to your phpbb database (grant it user permissions)
23rd August, 2007 - 10:13 am
yeah todd is right, run the grant statement as the PHPBB user to grant WP access.
24th August, 2007 - 7:16 pm
Everyone,
Thanks for your input. It turns out there was a permission issue. My ISP doesn’t allow granting permissions between DBs using shared hosting.
25th August, 2007 - 4:47 am
can you create your 2nd database with the same user account?
so dont create a wp user, wp db, phpbb user and phpbb db.
create a wp user, wp db, then a phpbb db. so dont create a user for the phpbb db, just use the wp user for both databases.
thats how i have it, 1 user is the owner of both databases, not 2 different users with one that has permissions on both
27th August, 2007 - 3:55 pm
Is it possible I point the plugin towards an address (or IP) in order to find my phpBB datebase?
My datebases are kept on paid hosting.
Or, if the databases share the same location, would it be a given where to look for it?
Thanks a lot btw, I wasn’t even looking for something this cool.
27th August, 2007 - 4:12 pm
yeah, it should be possible by hacking my plugin to use
wpdb($dbuser, $dbpassword, $dbname, $dbhost)rather than
$wpdb->select($PHPBBDB);
just remember to connect back to wordpress when you’re done
27th August, 2007 - 4:41 pm
Maybe it’s my lack of knowledge with MySql, but that hack didn’t go far enough because I had no way of inputting information about my datebase.
I tried to fix that problem but all I was left with was a headache. lol
I’m sure it was helpful to someone anyway
4th September, 2007 - 7:22 am
Is there any system ( any code) by which i can get the list of post by a specific user only. if any please tell me. im using WP 2.2 and this plugin installed
4th September, 2007 - 8:38 am
there is, but posts are held in a different table, so this plugin won’t help.
Posts are stored in phpbb_posts, an sql query of
select * from phpbb_posts where poster_id = 5or similar would list all posts from the username with id 5.
5th September, 2007 - 8:18 pm
is there any other way out for this?
13th September, 2007 - 7:09 pm
Hi, i just installed your plugin works great.
I managed to exclude one forum but I need to exclude few more.. can you please help me
14th September, 2007 - 8:28 am
HI Mlajo,
You’re going to need to read up on logical expressions… mine isn’t that great, you want to achive an expression where by the forum id is not equal to 1 or not equal to 2 (for example)
WHERE ( forum_id != ( 1 OR 2 ) )You’re probably best off referencing an SQL manual tho’ as I doubt that syntax is correct.
15th September, 2007 - 12:20 pm
I solved it this way
$results = $wpdb->get_results(”SELECT * FROM $TOPIC_TABLE WHERE forum_id !=’45′ AND forum_id !=’14′ AND forum_id !=’15′ AND forum_id !=’16′ AND forum_id !=’17′ AND forum_id !=’18′ AND forum_id !=’48′ AND forum_id !=’47′ AND forum_id !=’51′ AND forum_id !=’46′ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT $LIMIT”);
17th September, 2007 - 6:14 pm
thanx everyone
16th October, 2007 - 1:04 pm
Hi,
is it possible to use the permanent links of the SEOphp in your plugin? If so, how can I do this?
Thanks
Sascha
17th October, 2007 - 5:56 am
Hi Sascha,
Sorry, I’ve not heard of SEOphp, can you post me a link?
6th November, 2007 - 2:35 pm
Hi Nick,
Great job with the plugin! Is it possible to use it as a widget in Wordpress?
Cheers,
T.
6th November, 2007 - 4:03 pm
Hi Thorsten,
I don’t use widgets myself, but I believe the answer is Yes.
I think you need the exec-php plugin then allow php execution in widgets, then paste the sidebar code into a new widget.
Good Luck!
2nd January, 2008 - 5:45 am
Just a heads up on mine, I had the same error on line 70:
Warning: Missing argument 1 for phpbb_topics() in /home/emenang/public_html/homewordpress/wp-content/plugins/phpbb_recent_topics/phpbb_recent_topics.php on line 70
I did what Noor Nawawe did and it fixed it.
Thanks for a great plugin!
13th January, 2008 - 4:29 pm
I’ve got this message in half of site if plugin is on (if i turn it off, then everything works fine):
“Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /wp-content/themes/mytheme/home.php:3) in /wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 310
WordPress
Can’t select database
We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the mydb2 database.”
i have wp on “mydb1″ and forum on “mydb2″.
i have wp v. 2.0.5 and phpBB v. 3 final.
i have wp on root and forum on root/forum path.
any solution? please.
14th January, 2008 - 9:26 am
Hi Fokus, Your Database permissions have not been set up correctly, check that you have run your
GRANTstatement, and that you ran it as the correct user.rgds,
Nick
20th January, 2008 - 5:14 am
After unzipping the plugin unzipped to phpbb-recent-topics directory instead of phpbb_recent_topics. Resulting in a 404 error when you try to access the the options page. Renaming the directory fixed.
20th January, 2008 - 9:38 pm
Good work on the plugin. I’m just starting up a new blog (migrating off of Drupal) and this plugin is the killer app that made me decide on WordPress over another option such as MT.
I’ve taken the display.php script and tweaked it a bit to better support my own use case and I wanted to post it here in case somebody can use it as well.
This bit grabs the last posts themselves rather than the last posted topics:
$results = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $TOPIC_TABLE WHERE forum_id !='9' AND forum_id !='10' AND forum_id !='12' AND forum_id !='14' ORDER BY topic_last_post_time DESC LIMIT $LIMIT");This bit returns the information in a different format with some metadata about the post in the title of the
<a></a>tags for each link:foreach ($results as $topic){
$title = "Posted by $topic->topic_last_poster_name on " . date("l, F j, Y", $topic->topic_last_post_time) . " at " . date("H:i T", $topic->topic_last_post_time);
$url = $SITEURL . "/viewtopic.php?f=$topic->forum_id&p=$topic->topic_last_post_id#p$topic->topic_last_post_id";
echo "<li><a title='" . $title . "' href='" . $url . "'>$topic->topic_title" . "</a></li>\n";
}
Nick, if you’re interested perhaps I could take a look at properly integrating this with the admin code and making the two different behaviours an option the user can toggle, I’ll probably do it anyway for myself at some point but I’d prefer not to fork your code in any way. I could provide you with a diff when I get around to it if you’re interested.
cheers,
Gabriel
20th January, 2008 - 9:42 pm
Little mistake in the code I posted, the ampersand in the $url variable should be
&and not&to ensure we render valid XHTML.21st January, 2008 - 11:45 am
Hi Gabriel,
That’s great thanks, I’d be happy to include any diff you send.
I’ve not yet had time to plan an update for this plugin, I know it’s been 9 months and I still haven’t fixed the packaging thing that annoys everyone (like Beau’s comment above), oh well C’est la Vie
27th January, 2008 - 10:57 pm
Hi
I’ve installed your plugin however when i select the options/plugin the admin page for the plugin is not found and i get an error message.
I guess its looking in the wrong place for the admin page for the plugin? Can you advise?
28th January, 2008 - 9:23 am
Hi Nick,
You’ve probably got the problem lordbigsack found the WP plugin repo changed the folder structure, I’ve never gotten round to fixing the code, rename phpbb-recent-posts to phpbb_recent_posts.
hth,
Nick
28th January, 2008 - 11:07 pm
Hi
Working better but now getting following error displayed on screen:
”
Warning: Missing argument 1 for phpbb_topics() in /home/gfuvcttp/public_html/wp-content/plugins/phpbb_recent_topics/phpbb_recent_topics.php on line 70″
Any ideas?
31st January, 2008 - 1:49 pm
I have phpBB http://bb.mitoaction.org/ and WordPress http://blog.mitoaction.org/ on two separate domains on Dreamhost. They do not share a database.
The problem I am experiencing is that I have to set up a MySQL select-only user on phpBB different from the MySQL WordPress user. Is there a way to set up two different MySQL users in the plugin?
I don’t think the answer will be to install both phpBB and WordPress on the same database, because the user privileges are set in the control panel and the same user name cannot simultaneously have select-only and full privileges.
Thanks!
31st January, 2008 - 2:13 pm
Hi Kathy,
You’re right you don’t need to have phpBB & WP in the same DB, and the plugin doesn’t support different users, since I wouldn’t work out a way of WP disconnecting from the WP-db to view the phpBB-db and then re-connect again.
What you need to do is
GRANTaccess to your phpBB-db to your existing WP-db-user… this seems to be the trickiest concept for people to grasp, basically log into your phpBB-db (via myphpadmin or something) and run theGRANTstatement above (replacing wp_user with whatever your existing wordpress user is.)Hope that helps
31st January, 2008 - 2:48 pm
Although I love Dreamhost dearly, they don’t permit you to run
grantstatements through the command line nor through phpMyAdmin. Even if the Dreamhost control panel did let me give full access to the phpBB database for the WP user, I don’t think that is a good solution for security reasons.I know I can simultaneously connect to several databases using Perl::DBI, so I think will work on a custom solution. The real need is to make a static main site home page dynamic, which I can do with an include from a Perl CGI script. The ability to list forum posts through WordPress is a nice feature though.
I intend to update the DreamHost wiki http://wiki.dreamhost.com/ like I did for the information about being unable to use the GRANT features except through the Dreamhost MySQL control panel.
Thank you for you prompt reply!
1st February, 2008 - 10:33 pm
Hi
Can someone tell me why I am seeing the following warning message before my posts?
Warning: Missing argument 1 for phpbb_topics() in /home/gfuvcttp/public_html/wp-content/plugins/phpbb_recent_topics/phpbb_recent_topics.php on line 70″
3rd February, 2008 - 12:05 pm
@Nick,
Try calling
phpbb_topics(5);in your theme instead ofphpbb_topics();:s12th February, 2008 - 3:15 pm
Hi there, Top plug in!
Only problem I’m having is that is doesn’t seem to read the css from the rest of my site, so it looks like basic html. I’ve tried wraping div tags around the sidebar and also within the display php file, both don’t work. Does anyone have and advice re styling the page?
Many thanks.
17th February, 2008 - 7:02 am
I’m have a few problems with the plugin. First, I was getting the line 70 error and I tried the solution above, and it worked. So thats okay now. But, I’m still not getting anything. site - http://www.yafantsy.com
It just shows an odd date and nothing else. Plus now my category drop down won’t work on the sidebar.
When I try to do the user permision thing, I get this error - where that dbo..83 is the phpBB user.
#1044 - Access denied for user: ‘dbo232927083@%’ to database ‘phpbb_database’
I don’t know php very well, or mysql. I mostly just use widgets and know enough to kind of adapt it to my needs. So, I’m really not sure what to do about my problem.
Please help! The plugin sounds awesome and I’d love to make it work -_-
17th February, 2008 - 11:06 am
Cassie, Sounds like you’re doing the permissions things backwards, you need to “connect / log in” to the phpBB database and GRANT access to the WordPress user
19th February, 2008 - 5:17 am
I’m pretty sure thats what I was trying to do - loging into mysql for the database that is for my forum. Then typing in the “GRANT SELECT ON phpbb_database.phpbb_topics TO wp_user@localhost;” - does the local host need to be something defined?
I’m not sure, maybe I can’t actually modify it…
20th February, 2008 - 6:06 am
Hi
Thanks for a super plugin!
I wonder can i do something to not display the time and date of the latest posts? its ok now also but i just think it would look better without in my theme:)
20th February, 2008 - 3:58 pm
I’m on the edge between
(a) waiting for the next version
(b) doing the corrections manually (I understand around half of the errors reported are due to users’ configuration errors)
(c:) using bbpress instead of phpbb, primarily because i want an integrated blog+forum search, which i presume i can get with wp+bbpress (i may be wrong).
Nick,
can you guess when the next version might be released?
Anybody:
Do you know if it is at least conceptually possible to integrate the phpbb and wp search engines (and search results pages)?
I have a Google-Search which searches my whole site.
Is there a way to customize a Google-Search results page so it’s more like my blog search results page and/or my phpbb search results page?
20th February, 2008 - 4:03 pm
P.S. Thanks - this is a holy grail
20th February, 2008 - 4:18 pm
I also considered creating a category within wordpress which I designed to look more like a forum -
once people register, they can create new threads (posts) within topics (categories), and others can respond in comments.
What’s the difference between that modified blog and a forum?
threaded-commenting. inter-user messaging. that’s all i know of.
Am I right?
20th February, 2008 - 8:28 pm
Sorry to be stressed about it but is it posseble to remove date and time of the latest post? after some thinking i really think it would look much better for me..
22nd February, 2008 - 11:06 am
Steve, just delete…
echo "<small><i>" . date("d/M/y - g:i a", $topic->topic_time) . "</i></small>\n";from ~/phpbb-recent-topics/display/display.php
Jonathan, I’d recommend you install this version since life is a bit busy at the moment and I’m struggling to stay on top of comments let alone release a new version,
Cheers.

Hi Nick!
I’m using your plugin. Very useful! But I have a problem. I write in Portuguese, so, I use a lot of entities (like ã, ê, ú). When one of these entities appear in the list of last forum threads, they’re are changed by “?”. I guess it’s an error beetwen charsets, but both forum and blog are in UTF-8.
Do you know how can I fix it?
[]’s!
