Hello all,
I need assistance or guideline in three areas.
1. Quick Reply: Most forums I visit do have a small reply box below the topic being discussed in order to enable users to just post a reply that doesnt require much text or so. How can I achieve that in my forum...
2. How can I add a button calling for ...START A NEW TOPIC ...on the right side of the home page of my forum instead of a user having to first chose a category and then add a topic. This is one stuff I like very much in vanilla forums, sorry no image for that one..
3. I like the home page of this site is...www.nairaland.com...They can list topics on home page that they want and then users can easily see those topics. How can I do this in my forum. Please take a look and any ideas, suggestions and even small fee request will be appreciated.
Thanks

1 - not easy, but potentially doable in a custom plugin... would be fair amount of work at best...
2 - we already give you that... see the template tags plugin, namely the add new topic link template function... see: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....gs-plugin/
3 - going to point you to the template tags plugin again... though if you want just a list of forums, enter those once by hand in your wp theme template or widget... you can list recent topics using one of those template functions... you can also show a list of favorite topics with the favorites plugin for sp...

Thanks. Now working on the template tags plugin to see whats up there. Using the shortcode on this page
http://codex.simple-press.com/.....st-topics/
How do I call the newest topics by topics and not forum names with authors. This is what I posted:
on a page and its only showing the forum names that has a post, while I want to list topics.
Thanks once again, will be back for number 1.

You really need to use the highlighter button on the toolbar (far right) for code fragments as we filter out some code elements for security reasons. paste in the code, highlight carefully, and select the language from the list on the toolbar button.

I added this on a page and what i get is the image below
[sp_latest_posts]
What I want is to display the topics alone via shortcode. Also, where can i find the featured topics shortcode so I can display them in a wp page...

I don't know what you are doing but that code block doesn't even have a language selected...!
Ok - so is this from the recent Posts template tag? Is that it? Details on that are here: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....ent-posts/ which explains how to control what is displayed and what isn't. This is also available as a widget of course.
Featured topics/posts is an SP plugin you will need to install. Usage details are here: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....ed-topics/

have you seen: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....ed-topics/
you are not calling the write template function... thats an internal one not exposed... you cant call a shortcode function... if you want a shortcode, use the shortcode...if you want to call a template function, call the template function...
so give the codex article on the featured plugin a read....

All i did was to insert the shortcode into the page. Nothing more. Why is it that Its difficult to understand what I am saying. I have tried to add the shortcode i added here but its not showing.
I want to operate within the shortcode and not have to create a template to apply to pages.
I want to know how I can add the number of topics to display and avoid dsplaying the forum category name where the post is pulled from. I gave an example of a website that I want to imitate,http://www.nairaland.com.
Thanks for your help

Sorry, but I dont see anywhere in your original post where you indicated which shortcode you entered and that it was entered into a wp page... that plugin has multiple shortcodes... a little information goes a long way...
now I can see the issue... open up the main plugin file sp-featured-plugin.php... around line 146, find this line:
include_once(SPFEATUREDTAGS.'sp-FeaturedTopics-tag.php');
and change it to:
include_once(SPFEATUREDTAGS.'sp-featured-topics-tag.php');
should get you going (was a copy/paste error at some point)... will get it fixed up in the plugin and released shortly...
