Display threads on non VB pages?

[Varsh]

Currently I'm putting together a website with vB as obviously the forums. What I'm wanting to do though is on my custom PHP page I've already created the layout however I'm needing a few things and that's:
Display a forum's thread list (via ID I'd imagine)
Limit the thread list to 5 items

How would I go about this? I have already managed to connect the user database without a problem thus have the VB globals file required.

I'm rather new to vBulletin hooks so I'm not sure exactly what to do so please go easy on me. xD

If the forum has an rss feed, you could just use javascript.

Thanks Lynne that helped a lot.

Is there a way so that I can add multiple RSS feeds into that code or would each RSS feed have to have a seperate script like this? I can't do this as separate includes without a problem. Also the author is not displayed with that code.

how can i set the rss to read the thread prefixes to and display on mi page some images i want instead of the thread prefixes? :D

I'm not sure exactly what you want - if you want to change the format of the RSS feed you'd have to edit external.php. The thread prefixes are already included at the beginning of the title so I suppose another option would be to change the code that receives the feed.
