How to display latest threads & posts on FORUMHOME page [vB4]

[pokusek]

I searched whole forum but there is not any working mod for vB4 that prints latest threads and posts on FORUMHOME. What should I change in the template to display it? Thanks.

I also been looking for a mod to add the latest post to my site. Maybe someone will come up with a mod for us.

I think most people just use the forum blocks to do this.

The sidebar is really annoying, so I am looking for another solution.

Did you look for any vB3 mods that do this? I'm sure the query is the same, so just use that.

I did, but nothing works for me.

And if you don't tell us exactly what you did and what the results are, then we can't help you.

I like these plugins:

How to make them work?

And when you wrote some code and used the query in those products, what happened? What is the exact code you wrote?

Well, I just installed the mods, I was not doing anything with the code (because I do not understand it). There is an output of one "Latest Post on Forum Home" (of course, the list of the last posts didn't show up):

All those fetch_template calls need to be changed to the vB4 format. [vB4] Rendering templates and registering variables - a short guide (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228078)

The templates will also need to use the new format.

If you are unable to do any sort of coding yourself or don't want to follow the articles to convert the modification, then you may be better off putting a request into the Unpaid Request forum or the Requests for Paid Services forum.

There is a problem with these two lines:

eval('$latest_post_bits .= "' . fetch_template('forumhome_latest_bit') . '";');

eval('$platest = "' . fetch_template('forumhome_latest') . '";');

I checked out the page you've posted but I think that the manual is written in chinese. I do not know what should I do to repair it even I read the whole post. :)
