Wp2BB Plugin homepage http://www.alfredodehoces.com/wp2bb WordPress & PhpBB integration. Wp2BB creates new topics in your forum for every new post or page in your blog. Displays the current number of responses to the current post and a quick link to reply. Provides a widget to show the latest responses in the forum. It can either replace or coexist with the WordPress comments system. See it working in this very blog.

This post should not create a topic in the forum as it belongs to category 7, which I have configured to be excluded from the forum in the Wp2BB settings.

Changes in this version:

  • Fixed bug regarding unescaped quotes in ‘msg’ custom field
  • ‘Topic Message Text’ now split in two, one for posts and one for pages
  • Default topic message text can be overriden by ‘msg’ custom field in your post or entry
  • Includes a widget to display recent responses in the forum

The Wp2BB widget

Wp2BB 1.2 includes a widget that displays the most recent messages in your PhpBB forum. Three parameters can be configured:

Wp2BB widget settings
  • Title: The widget title displayed in your sidebar
  • Number of messages: How many messages to display
  • Forums to inspect: Comma separated list of forum ID’s that will be included in the search. This is useful if you do not want to show the latest messages from all your PhpBB forums, but just those you use with Wp2BB or those related to your blog.

See it working in the “Recent forum responses” section of the sidebar of this blog.

]]> http://www.alfredodehoces.com/wp2bb/wp2bb-12-with-recent-responses-widget/feed/ Post with specific message in the forum http://www.alfredodehoces.com/wp2bb/post-with-specific-message-in-the-forum/ http://www.alfredodehoces.com/wp2bb/post-with-specific-message-in-the-forum/#comments Thu, 09 Oct 2008 10:20:42 +0000 admin http://www.alfredodehoces.com/wp2bb/?p=588 If you want the topic in the forum created for your post or page to include a message with some text other than the default (as set in “Topic message text” in Wp2BB admin), simply include a ‘msg‘ custom field in your entry with the desired text. Wp2BB will use this text and not the default when creating the correspondent topic in the forum.

Remember, you can use some text replacement:

{$post} Wordpress post text
{$title} Wordpress post title
{$purl} Wordpress post Permalink

For instance, in this very post I have included a ‘msg’ custom field with the value:

‘This is a custom message for the post “{$title}” in the blog’

Check the correspondent topic in the forum (by clicking in the “x messages in the forum” link below) and check the PhpBB topic text.

Wp2BB version 1.0 has been developed using WordPress 2.6.2 and PhpBB 3.0.0, but it will probably work with lower versions. Please let us know if Wp2BB works with your WordPress and PhpBB versions.
