Very good extension, it does excatly what it says.

To the author; Is it possible to have the module in frontpage only?

I love your component, but I need a link to a wrapped page. I think that the latest releases removed the line suggested to change for a wrapped link. Can you marked the change to do to obtain this result?

Works fine, but when i tried it on a big forum database it stalls and gives a timeout because of the complex query search.

I am going to modify it to search only the 'topics' table and complete the other fields needed by another search in the php code.

Think about phpbb uses tables with wordmatch and similar to not have to do a query as complex as yours.

Anyway, great job!

I installed the extension but it only works for me if i select articles from the menu. When i tried to enable it on my home page or any other links other than articles i get a blank page. The support link also times out.

It is simple and works fine. But ATTENTION, in the” mod_phpbb3_last_topics-1.0.1.zip” package, you can still find the error mentioned by Fleiva. You should save the change.

This is a nice module!, It works perfect for me. The option to choose between group or single post very nice.

Maybe in the future the developers could add a number counter of replies to the group of topics.

Thanks

Really tidy module, very customisable - missing one thing... like the rest of the reviews, would be great if when a user clicks on a link to a recent topic, the link would open in a joomla wrapper - create an option in the backend (open in Joomal wrapper). I did what the first reviewer suggested, however the code is slightly different in the default.php

replace all instances of "viewtopic.php?" with &

and follow the rest of instructions in first reviewers post.

Great Module!!!

Sensational mod!
Here's how I solved the issue of opening the post inside the Joomla wrapper:

1. Do this: http://www.joomlaexpert.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=63

2. Create a "hidden menu" wrapper item, that points to your forum, ie. http://www.[yourdomain.com]/phpBB3/viewtopic.php

3. Open modules/mod_phpbb3_last_topics/tmpl/default.php and replace
$url = $baseurl."/".$pagename."?p=".$post_id."#p".$post_id;
with
$url = $baseurl."".$pagename."&p=".$post_id."#p".$post_id;

4. In the "Most Recent Forum Topics" module, the URL is to the Wrapper menu link, which for me is http://yourdomain.com/content/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=7

So far, found 2 problems:

a) Redirecting the backend to the wrapper link the links won't lead you anymore to the post you want.

b) I would like it better if the last 5 posts were from 5 different threads. Right now, from time to time, all of the last posts are from the same topic since it's the "hot topic" of the day.

c) There was an issue I managed to fix, the dev could add it on his next fix if he wants to.

in /tmpl/default.php line 23 change

= new JDate ($item->post_time);

for

= & JFactory:: getDate ($item->post_time);

That way you won't have the "couldn't get JDate thingy" issue.

Still using it though, the forum excluding works like a charm and it was easy to edit css-wise.

Well it's really everything I needed. But some little remarks though : the setting in the backend should be explained a little better for newbies.
breaking the wrapper is no issue anymore : in the backend, instead of using .../subfolder for the url of your forum, just insert the menu-wrapper-link, and the links won't break your wrapper anymore.

Very good .
The only problem is that dont work with joomla cache enable but is not a problem for me now .

Yeah, breaking out the joomla wrapper is an issue:

Another small problem: There's too much vertical space between the forum links for my liking. I'd like to remove the line break between each link, but there doesn't appear to be any option to do this: even digging into the code.

Apart from these 2 issues, this module is perfect for my needs.

This module is excellent, but the option to view the forum topics in 'Wrapper' would be awesome.

Congratulations for this extension. I have only one problem, with
"Joomla Wrapper". it's the same that iframe, the joomla iframe.

The most useful use of phpbb3 is integrates it into your web, into your content. For this, you can use joomla iframe, in Menu Item Manager --> New --> Wrapper. I have my forum there. But when i use your extension, the link leaves out of this iframe. This is the problem.

I hope that you can create a new option configuration for it. With this, your extension will be the best.

It is good module. Easy setup, and what was important for me is that links you generate are valid html links (pass w3c markup validator).
I would suggest improvement- optional date, optional user.

Thank you!

Nice & Simple for the on-the-fly solution.

If you nead simple forum topic list this is all you need.

This is a nice module, however, it's links doesn't support phpBB3 in a "Joomla Wrapper". The links open phpBB3 in "Unwrapped" view only.
