I would like to show the last topics of different forum in the widgets.
On my
WP-Site I’ve two main topics: books and death penalty in phpBB exist corresponding forums and now I would like to show the last topics in book-forum on books-page and so on.
That means on different pages different forums in the widget.
How could I get that?

Can't be done with this plugin.
I found:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpbbfetchall/
Full embed object documentation:
https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/ob ... tml#h-13.5
or a iframe solution (prolly not your choice, but possibly placed inside a text widget, I didn't try):
Code: Select all
<iframe src="https://www.thetopfew.com" width="800" height="400">
Error: Embedded data could not be displayed.
</iframe>

Hello klaus, i was asking myself what would be a good addition for next version and this look like to be a nice one.
It require maybe to add a complete, new one widget, or the actual need to be modified deeply: we'll see which is the best way, that isn't easy to explain into a single post.
Will be added on next 1.8.8 (or 1.8.9 if forced to release 1.8.8 in short time due to some discovered bug that need immediately to be patched so no time will be available for the addition of this).
OPS! hello kaspir!

We all are quite cool!
Thinking on the above, it can be very easy to achieve via a shortcode, that could be just something like this:
Code: Select all
[w3allastopics_xspec page="myniceWPpage" posts_number="5" forumID="12"]
this will fire only on a specific page, or pages maybe, because the shortcode function could also check into an array instead then a single page.
And can be used also on widgets so may this will be the way to add this feature.
Asking myself if can be some other useful parameter, after posts number, page/pages to display and forumID that could be added.
