BT Active Discussions
By Pinyo • May 3rd, 2008This is a recent comments plugin that displays customizable number of blog posts with recently updated comment. The output is very similar to phpBB’s View Active Topics and vBulletin’s Today’s Posts functions.
Installation
- Download ZIP file from WordPress.org Plugin Directory
- Unzip
- Copy bt-active-discussions folder into your plugins folder
- Activate the plugin
- Add
to any page you’d like to show the discussion table
That’s it!
Customization
There are two options that you can customize by editing the plugin file.
- $show_credit_link = 1; // set to 0 to remove credit link*
- $inc_trackbacks = 0; // set to 1 to include trackbacks
- $max_topics = 30; // the number of posts you want to display
* I put a lot of work into this plugin and would appreciate your support by keeping the credit link intact. Thank you.
Compatibility
Tested on WordPress 2.5.1
