Hi EE Gurus,
I’m designing a new site, and I have a question about a feature I’d like to include. I’d like to list the most recent posts in the forums on the home page, regardless of topic. I’ve looked at the forums and user guides and I can currently list the most recent posts for the newest topic. But you can sometimes get “dead” topics that are newer than some others, but have far less activity.
I’m more interested in showing the recent post activity regardless of topic, rather than the most recent topic. Is there a way to do this in EE?
So…
{exp:forum:topic_titles orderby="post_date" sort="desc" limit="10"}
<span><a href="http://{thread_path=forums/viewthread}">{exp:char_limit total="45"}{title}{/exp:char_limit} </a>
{exp:char_limit total="200"}{body}{/exp:char_limit} Author: <a href="http://{last_author_profile_path=forums/member}">{last_author}</a></br>
{/exp:forum:topic_titles} Is not doing what I’d like, because it’s showing the most recently updated topic, and not the most recent forum posts irrespective of topic. Any thoughts/ideas on how to approach this would be appreciated.
