Kunal,

Add my code after the following line in home.php of BBP Home theme:

<div id="right-column">

It should get you started.

Kunal,

You can put the code anywhere outside of widget if…else block.

Yes I got my template running just fine.

Here is the code I use to show 5 recent topics across forum:

$topics = bp_forums_get_topics(0, 5);



if ($topics)

{

foreach ($topics as $topic)

{

print '

<div class="home-box-item">

<a class="home-box-item-link" href="' . $topic['topic_uri'] . '">' . $topic['topic_title'] . '</a>

by ' . $topic['topic_poster_display_name'] . '

Freshness: ' . $topic['topic_time_since'] . '

Posts: ' . $topic['topic_posts'] . '

</div>

';

}

}

else

{

print '<p>No topics found.</p>';

}

If you want to show topics from a specific forum then you can pass the forum ID parameter like this:

$topics = bp_forums_get_topics(5, 5);<br />

PS: Sorry for late reply.

@Burt

Thanks a lot for the function reference.

Oh i see, I wont be using that widget then.

Is there a way to get all forum IDs from BBPress so as to fetch posts from forums and sub-forums using bp_has_topics() function.

@Burt

Thanks for the reference. Are you pointing to bp_has_topics() function?

That function needs a Forum ID and I want to instead pull latest 5 topics from the whole Forum. Is there any other function I am missing or would you suggest any workarounds?
