Thank you for this plugin.
When I deliver online training, I like to have a block with "all latest post". But I'm looking for a way to display latest posts in a simply block :
- without the title of the different forum,
- with all forum's posts mixed in the block.
Is it possible to re-use this plugin to do that ?
Best regards.
Thanks, Mark Chaney
This module works just fine in Moodle 3.0!
This plugin is really useful !
After using it in a course with success, I'm now looking for a way to show the latest posts from several forums, in the user's dashboard. But when I add a forum aggregator block to the dashboard, no forums are available for selection. I guess it's because the dashboard is outside a course, but maybe I missed something ?
Anyway, is there a possibility to use forum aggregator from the dashboard ?
Thank you,
Greetings,
Mathias
Unfortunately this block supports currently only in-course usage. I have not tested it on dashboard. Currently i'm busy with other projects and cannot tell when i have the time to have a look at this.
Best,

Also, does this filter by groups to which the student is assigned?
