MyBB Community Forums

Hi,

I'm currently setting up a mybb board for the first time (After using phpbb for years and years) and am stuck here and there.
Here's my project; http://exalted-swtor.com/forums/portal.php

I'm trying to add the name of the forum in the recent posts on my portal.

Does anybody know if there is a string available for this to use in my template? Something like {$thread['forumname']} or {$forumname} perhaps?

The same goes for poster of the ot. We have {$lastposterlink} that will show the name of the poster of the last post, but I would like to implement the author of the original topic starter as well.

Anyhows, thanks for your time!

you mean like this(click on home up top)Click?

No, yours is the standard latest threads, if I'm not mistaken.

What I am after is to show what forum the post is made in. Something like this, where you see I have added "Forum: General Discussions »"

Here is the template for portal_latestthreads_thread which holds the information where I work from. So basicly I was just wondering if I could add the forum information code easy, perhaps with a string, something like I have tried to add below by adding in {$thread['forumname']}. This doesn't work as the code for the forum is not forumname.

<tr>
<td class="{$altbg}">
<strong><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$thread['threadlink']}">{$thread['subject']}</a> in {$thread['forumname']}</strong>
<span class="smalltext"><br />
<a href="{$thread['lastpostlink']}">{$lang->latest_threads_lastpost}</a> {$lastposterlink}
» Posted: {$lastpostdate} {$lastposttime}
<strong>&raquo; </strong>{$lang->latest_threads_replies} {$thread['replies']} <strong>&raquo; </strong>{$lang->latest_threads_views} {$thread['views']}
</span>
</td>
</tr>

Thanks

100 views and no solution yet, good stuff, means I'm not completely alone at not getting my head around this ^^

But alright, I'm one step closer..

{$thread['fid']} will post the forum id on my recent posts.

Now, how do I show the forum name of the fid in my template instead of the forum id?

Banging my head a few more hours solved the problem.

It turned out I had to edit the sql in order to pull the needed field.

My Latest threads are now showing which forum it is posted in.
