 * Is there a plug-in or solution where I can add to my blog sidebar a list of 5
   or 10 recent posts from a phpbb forum?
 * Thanks!

 * There’s one listed on the Codex:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Outside_Information](http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Outside_Information)
 * It’s called phpBB Recent Posts, but the link to it has been down for some time.
   Perhaps the…ahem, recent posts in this thread will lead to a replacement:

 * Yes…did the rounds with the thread and the dead links.
 * Does anyone have a solution out there? The plug looks great, but its not avail

 * I believe, that I have succeeded to get it from google cache.
    Get it from:
 * [wp-phpbb-files](http://love-unlimited.net/test/downloads/wp-phpbb/wp-phpbb-files.zip)
 * It holds a cashed copy of the related forum topic and the plugin corrected according
   to instructions.
    Please, check carefully, I hold no responsibility 🙂

 * Hmmm…I am looking at the code..it all seems to make sense except for these lines:
 * $USERS_TABLE = “phpbb_users”; //phpbb user table
    $TOPICS_TABLE = “phpbb_topics”;//
   phpbb topics table $POSTS_TABLE = “phpbb_posts”; //phpbb posts table
 * Where do these come from? Does anyone know? Not sure exactly what to type in 
   or change…

 * Those are tables in phpbb installs (at least, they used to be, I don’t have any
   phpbb installs left – too insecure and I can’t be bothered with continual updates
   any more).
 * So assuming your install still has those tables, you’d need to probably give 
   those the correct input links (probably an absolute path from your root folder)
   and be sure to use the correct table prefix as per your phpbb database install.

 * The script is working! If somebody need the script let me know.
 * I have only a question about the list of the topic’s. On the moment you see a
   topic more than ones in the list, if people respons on the topic in the forum.
   Is it possible to show the topic one time in the list? Of does somebody know 
   how you can make it, like the forumlist on [http://www.ourtake.net](http://www.ourtake.net).

 * if you click on the Questions or suggestions page I have the code available there.(
   it’s the second post (red lines))

 * This is a great plugin but I have a big problem. The recent posts show also hidden
   threads, in example admins area. Is it possible to exclude hidden forums from
   showing up in recent list?
