toby fourreIs the wp2bb plugin dead? Is there an upgrade or replacement?
We have a couple of problems we would like fixes for.
1. Under Plugin Options > Topic message text for posts: we have a line that says, "[url={$purl}]There is a new article here.[/url]." Unfortunately, when it starts the new forum thread, that is what you see. To activate it, we have to manually edit the forum thread and re-submit. We don't make any changes, just re-submit. We have found that this is true for all of the usual [][/] instructions.
2. Instructions such as {$title}, {$purl} and {$post} work. How do we create a new one? We want {$auth} or something similar so that we can put the author's name on the thread. As an alternative, is there a way to change the "Forum user name:" so that it reports the author's name instead of "guest" or the forum owner's name. We want the unique name for each author.
We have been trying to hack the wp2bb script without success. Any help will be appreciated.
