wpForo 1.x.x [Closed] REQ: 'unread posts' be hyperlinked to the post rather than topic

Currently the lists of posts link to the topic URL but makes more sense for it to be linked to the post URL. Eg:

https://wpforo.com/community/recent/?view=unread

Consider fixing this in a future release of wpforo. Thank you.

Not sure why but my site isn't linking to the newest 'unread post' in a topic but instead is linking to the start of the topic which is slow for multi page topics. So have changed it instead to point to the last post:

wpf-themes\classic\recent.php

<td class="wpf-spost-title">
<?php // nando4 >> adjust 'unread posts' to list topics BUT change it link to the last post rather than first one ?>
<?php wpforo_topic_icon($topic); ?> <a href="<?php echo ($view == 'unread' ? $topic_posturl : wpforo_unread_url( $topic['topicid'], $topic_url )) ?>" class="wpf-spost-title-link" title="<?php echo ($view == 'unread' ? "View last post" : wpforo_phrase('View entire topic')) ?>"><?php echo esc_html($title) ?></a>&nbsp;<?php wpforo_unread_button($topic['topicid'], $topic_url); ?> <?php wpforo_viewing( $topic ); ?>

 

Something to consider for the next refresh.

@nando4,

Please don't change the core code. Just remove it temporarily and pay with the "Topic Links Jump to First Unread Post" option in Forums > Settings > Features admin page.
