Recent threads outisde of forum

I've noticed a lot of sites have sections like this on pages outside of their forum:

What's the mod that is needed to do this? I've spent the past 20 minutes trying to find it and I can't :confused:

Would appreciate some help - thanks :)

See the screen-print.

A list of recent threads with the Last Post, Replies, Views, etc?

Maybe they are using portals?

Yeah, I think they are, but I was wondering if it was possible to do something like that without using portals?

Dear James,

Ofcourse it is possible without using any portal system. All you need is a query that will read the threads and order them by dateline. Here is a simple example for you:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



chdir(path/to/your/forums);

require_once('./global.php');



$threads = $db->query_read("

SELECT title FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread

ORDER by dateline DESC

LIMIT 0,5

");

while ($thread = $db->fetch_array($threads))

{

echo $thread['title'] . "<br />";

}

?>

The codes above will simply show you the recent 5 threads.

I tried this and it didn't work when I tried to paste the info that WhaLberg provided above. Any idea how I can display it on my page in the place of the bulleted list under the left most section?
