[Plugin: phpbb_recent_topics] Code to display topic Forum

[Phil Ewels]

In case anyone else might find this useful, I’ve just written a tiny addition to this plugin to display the name of the forum that each recent topic is part of.

// GET FORUM WHICH POST IS IN - Phil Ewels, 26/09/2010
$sql_query = "SELECT * FROM phpbb_forums WHERE forum_id=" . $topic->forum_id. " LIMIT 1";
	# Run Query
	if ($prt_phpbb_dbinsecureon == "1") {
		$forum = $phpbbdb->get_row($sql_query);
	} else {
		$forum = $wpdb->get_row($sql_query);
	}
echo "<br /><small>" . $forum->forum_name . " </small>";

This should be inserted into display.php, around line 175 – 185, depending on where you would like the text to be displayed.

Please note that you may need to replace phpbb_forums with the name of the phpBB forums table in your database.

Nice one!

If you want to create a trac ticket I’ll look to add this as a tickbox feature ??
