Widgets - Recent Posts

[Justin]

Hello All!
For the "Recent Posts" widget, is it possible to only show the title and the user who posted a reply, instead of the reply text? I am looking to make it similar to the Recent Topics widget.

Thanks!

Actually, I would like to do this with recent replies shown below categories too.

Isn't there a recent topics widget that does this?

If not, you should be able to create a new Widget that fetches the topic title and topic author instead of the post content. Whether this would work well when multiple posts were in the same topic without tweaks, I'm not sure.

Will take a look when I'm home later on.

@a_5mith Yeah, thought it was depreciated, unless I completely overlooked it. Thanks!

Still works. But you'll need to edit the template in this file on your local version of nodebb-plugin-widget essentials to include the topics.user.userslug (not sure on the actual title, the machine I'm on only has IE and I can't be bothered downloading the API file.)

@a_5mith Thanks!!
