New Forum Posts plugin : excerpt not shown and author infos incorrect

[pierre0042]

Hi, after an upgrade on Github last sources, the New Forum Posts plugin doesn't display anymore the excerpt of the forum posts, and shows "48 years ago" instead of the username.

The forum is still working properly.

("derniers sujets" means "last topics" in french FYI)

@pierre0042 Try using the new forum posts menu which is part of the 'news' plugin.

I can't find it, are you sure about the name?

Confirmed as a bug. This issue occurs with the default newforumposts_menu (forum) menu, part of the forum plugin.

There is another newforumposts menu in it's own folder e107_plugins/newforumposts_main which is not recognized by the menu manager as a menu, but instead is used by older themes or plugins by calling the shortcode { NEWFORUMPOSTS}

@pierre0042 This is happens if the options for this menu haven't been touched after adding the menu to the menuarea. Due to that, the wrong query is executed and the menu is "empty".
I'll add a fix for the wrong query...

I updated my version. The author information is now correct, but the excerpt is still not displayed.

[Moc]

Yeah.... these forum shortcodes are a mess. Looking into it.

[pierre0042]

Now the plugin title isn't displayed correctly as well

@pierre0042 Please check in the menu settings which layout is used and also try the other layouts.

[pierre0042]

It is set to "Default"

[SimSync]

Did you test the other layouts?

[pierre0042]

Yes, it's not better. There are "Minimal" and "Main".
Main tries to display the whole forum in the small box...

Minimal looks like this :

Ok, I'll look after it.

Just submitted a pull request, which should fix both issues: The missing excerpt and the malformed caption.

[Moc]

Thanks @SimSync!
I think there will still be an issue with the actual excerpt not showing... Testing now.

[Moc]

All fixed for me.
@pierre0042 Can you confirm it's working? :)

[pierre0042]

I confirm. Thanks a lot
