Latest Topics from phpBB3 by IdeationPlace Module

Editor's Note
  • This extension requires registration to download.
This module shows latest topics from phpBB3 forums. It's very simple and highly configurable module.

You can select how many topics you want to display. You can select whether to display number of replies, date, authors name or not. There is an option to exclude certain forums. You can also display smilies in the module :)

All posts are from different threads, i.e. if two last posts belong to the same thread only one topic is displayed.

Customization through css is possible.

vBulletin version also available!

This module works great as promised. Used it until recently switching to vBulletin. Tried another module for displaying vB topics and posts but I prefer the feel and function of the IdeationPlace products. Contacted the developer about converting to vBulletin. He was quick to embrace the project. The vBuletin version of this module has been running fine on one of my production sites for about one week now.

If you are running phpBB I highly recommend this module.

vBulletin users will need to wait for the vBulletin Latest Posts module release.

I had to buy the Advanced version since my DB's are separate but I like the functionality. Works as promised tho' I had little knowledge of how DB's work.

One little thing I hope gets fixed is the full URL showing for hyperlinked text in the preview. I'd like to set this up so that people in the forum can post news items from a News forum and hyper link to the article but I don't want the URL to show up in the preview.

Great simple, effective module.

However i have included the phpbb3 forum with JFusion into Joomla. The link needs to be adjusted for this to work. Maybe it also has to do with SEF.

/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=709 has to become /viewtopic.php/f,15/t,663/

We just moved our forum from Fireboard to phpBB3 and needed a Latest Posts module to replace our old Fireboard version. I bought this module, installed and had it pulling data from my forum in just a couple of minutes. My forum is not in the same database as Joomla so I was happy that this module had the capability of working in that manner. Thanks for a nice module that simply gets the job done!

Very fine module, but it needs to have an option to exclude certain forums (e.g. now the threads from my Staff forum shows up on the forum).

Get this fixed and you got yourself a customer.

Thank you for your comment. I've just updated the module with the new version which has the ability to exclude forums.
