For anyone using the forum plugin, I've just posted an update (v0.2)
http://elgg.org/mod/plugins/plugin.php?id=6
Adds sorting based on when a forum thread was last updated (e.g. main post was edited or comments were added/deleted). Should make it easier to track active threads. A few other bug fixes as well.

Dave -
Can I ask you to do to favors for me?
1. Check out my site (http://doggybloggy.com) generally and let me know if there are Mac troubles. . I've had some Mac folks tell me that my page formatting is screwey.
2. Check out the following links and let me know if this is true on your installation because I know that you are using both folio and forum plugins. . I'm seeing the forum sidebar navigation disappear when in the actual forum but when I go to the calendar within a community, the forum plugin navigation shows back up. . . I think this is related to folio but can't be sure:
yes, it was confused the way i wrote it. . here are two links that show what I'm talking about:
forum sidebar nav present:

forum sidebar nav absent:

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the good work, this plugin definitely is a must have.
There are some gettexts missing at: lib.php line 15; forum_view_thread.php lines 51, 55, 65, 73, 106, 126
Also, to circumvent posts without a title, I added the following to forum.php (before line 100):[code=PHP]
// handle empty titles
if(empty($post->title)){
$words = 6; // 5 words, really
$cut_body = preg_replace("/<[^<>]>/","",$post->body);
$cut_body = explode(" ",$cut_body,$words);
array_pop($cut_body);
$post->title = "<em>".implode(" ",$cut_body)." ...</em>";
}
[/code]
Dave,
I don't want to get this "forum" discussion off topic, so feel free to post your answer in the v5 folio discussion. . I don't know what the "FAQ's links" thing is. . I haven't seen anything like that on my site. . Is my folio not showing something? Can you provide or send me a link to an example?
Hey Tim; killer work, really. I'm having a little trouble, tho. As 'news' I set my community blog to 'display as forum' and save changes, but it has no effect - everything still displays as a blog, not a forum. The 'view as forum' link works well from said blog, but not saving the state that would make it appear always as a forum.
Have you encountered anything like this in your testing? Or, am I just uniquely 'gifted' in my ability to mess up installs?
