WordPress phpBB integration: now it can feel your heartbeat!
2.8.3 has been just released for the lovely and cool people! :arrow: :) Enjoy!

Beside all others VERY important fixes above mentioned, that should make 2.8.3 version a very stable one that will practically works (as on my tests) into any scenario and any other external plugin, 2.8.3 also add

The [size=150]HeartBeat Last Topics Shortcode[/size] [b]will not require any activated option into the phpBB extension[/b], nor it will be necessary to activate the related option [b](as instead i said before on previous posts considerations)[/b] into phpBB.

The code about the HeartBeat Last Topics Shortcode run as standalone within the WP plugin himself.

It take with him when executed, all vars, methods and functions of a normal wp loaded page: it mean that on HeartBeat it is possible to update any phpBB content (pm, notifications etc) into WP, with few lines of code that will be added on next versions.
At moment only the [b]HeartBeat Last Topics Shortcode[/b] has been added that show up how it works the entire easy joke about to update widgets contents without having to reload the WP pages.

About the WP heartbeat and Last Topics updates:
a new option
[size=150][b]HeartBeat Last Topics Shortcode[/b][/size]
has been added: it allow to [size=120]Activate the heartbeat for the [w3allastopics] shortcode[/size]
The explain on how to use it is into the inline admin option himself.

Substantially, if the option is active, all widgets instances rendered by the [w3allastopics] shortcode, will be updated without to have to reload the browser's page/tab, if there are new phpBB posts.

Fix shortcode (and page-forum) to always return index.php as Url when the page is the phpBB home index. Example:
[code]https://www.mysite.com/forums/index.php[/code]
and not
[code]https://www.mysite.com/forums/[/code]
or
[code]https://www.mysite.com/forums[/code]
It seem that on many servers the lack of [i]index.php[/i] make it fail the iframed phpBB home and the page fall into a loop on some server (the last i've seen was today)
