The WP-Recent-phpBB plugin defines a sidebar widget to show the most recent posts of phpBB 2.x or phpBB 3.x forums on your WordPress blog.

The widget submits only one SQL query to gather all the required information from phpBB. Your phpBB
tables can be located on the same database of your WordPress tables, another database, or even another host.

The look of the widget is fully customizable. This widget introduces two templates, one for new topics and another for replies. So that, you have complete freedom to define your own display format for forums’ posts on the widget.

Here is the list of template variables that you can use to format each post:

• {POST_URL}
  Absolute URL of the post
• {POST_DATE}
  Date of the post (date format is determined according to your WordPress settings)
• {POST_TIME}
  Time of the post (time format is determined according to your WordPress settings)
• {POST_SINCE}
  Time elapsed since publishing the post (e.g. 5 minues ago, 2 weeks ago, …)
• {TOPIC_URL}
  Absolute URL of the post’s topic
• {TOPIC_TITLE}
  Title of the post’s topic
• {FORUM_URL}
  Absolute URL of the post’s forum
• {FORUM_TITLE}
  Title of the post’s forum
• {USER_URL}
  Absolute URL of the poster’s profile
• {USER_NAME}
  The poster’s user name

In addition, this widget allows you to choose the forums that you would like their posts to be included in or excluded from the listing.

If you have more than one forum, you can use multiple instances of this widget on your sidebar.
