Howto: have the 10 newest posts on my homepage

I would like to have the 10 newest posts titles show up on the homepage for my site, the best idea I can come up with is to use an rss feed reader (although I don't think the forum software supports feeds) or something equivalent to that unless someone has a better idea.

Create a new plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook: forumhome_complete

In the box add:

PHP Code:


		
			
$query = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT 10");



while ($last = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($query))

{

$lasttitle = $last['title']<br />;

}

Now you can use $lasttitle in your forumhome template

This only displays one 'latest thread'

Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks!

He forgot a '.' :p

PHP Code:


		
			
$query = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT 10");

while ($last = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($query))
{
// If you want to link to the thread to use $lasttitle .= '<a href="showthread.php?t='. $last['threadid'] .'">'. $last['title'] .'</a><br />';
$lasttitle .= $last['title']<br />;
}

How would you go about coding this to follow forum permissions?

I really appreciate any help!

Change the MySQL query to:

Change [minicode]title, threadid[/minicode] to * if you want to select all fields.

X, Y, Z Being a comma separated list of the ForumID numbers.
