I’ve finally found the time to fix this; version 0.4.2 should work in WP 2.8.x

Download from WP

Hi,

This appears to have been introduced by upgrading to WP 2.8.1

I will investigate the problem.

hummm that’s a new one… have you got a plug-in/theme conflict?

Try reverting back to the default theme and disabling other plug-ins and let me know how you get on?

Hi,

Try:

… WHERE forum_id != 1 AND forum_id != 2 AND forum_id != 3 ORDER BY topic_time…

HTH ??

yes, the plug-in works in 2.7.1

yep, look at your phpbb config.php find:

$dbname = 'phpbbdb';
$dbuser = 'bbuser';
$dbpasswd = 'bbpassword';

open phpMyAdmin, log in as bbuser , select the database phpbbdb. You have now logged into you mySQL db “as” the phpbb user.

open wp-config.php find:

define('DB_USER', 'wp_user');     // Your MySQL username

back in phpMyAdmin you need to run the command below …I think the interface changes depending on the version phpMyadmin so I can’t be specific where you paste…

GRANT SELECT ON phpbbdb.phpbb_topics TO wp_user@localhost;

Change phpbbdb & wp_user as necessary.
Good luck!

Yes. Well, i tried but could not get past that part. I kept getting the following error when running the query.
#1142 – GRANT command denied to user…..
I googled it regarding this plugin but there was no resolution. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
I would guess you’re running the command as the wrong user.
you need to login as your phpbb or root user and run the command and GRANT access to the WordPress user.
HTH.

Hi c3ptik,

Did you give WordPress access to your phpbb database? See: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/phpbb-recent-topics/other_notes/

Hi Jakob, Glad you solved it ??

hummm have you checked it works with the default theme?

I’ve just loaded the same sidebar wigets as you to my test server and all is good ??

re: Apache log, you’re service provider should be able to help, ask to see the “error_log”.

Oh, and which versions of plug-in and PHP are you using?

Hello,

Sounds like you might have found a plug-in conflict…. is it possible for you to disable each plug-in one by one and see if you can get it working?

Are you getting anything helpful in your apache error log?

Cheers,
Nick

Is there a way to exclude multiple forums from the list? Maybe the author will answer…

I’m workin on it, see https://www.linickx.com/archives/682/phpbb_recent_topics-version-041/comment-page-1#comment-10608

Hi intimez,

New posts would require quite a bit of changes, but you can get “open in window” by editing /wp-content/plugins/phpbb-recent-topics/display
/display.php

Change….

echo "<a href='" . $SITEURL . "/viewtopic.php?t=$topic->topic_id'>";

to

echo "<a target=\"_blank\" href='" . $SITEURL . "/viewtopic.php?t=$topic->topic_id'>";

??

I’d like to vote for this ??

Thanks for the patch Toni, I have included it in version 0.4.1 ??
