How to display news from a forum?

Hi everyone.

I'm coding a custom frontpage with vBulletin enhancements.
The only thing I can't find is a certain code to display threads out of a forum as news on this page.

An example would be like the portal frontpage here on vBulletin.org: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/portal.php

They show 5 news posts from this forum: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=240

Help is appreciated!

Would appreciate any lead how to do it as well!

You could do something like:

PHP Code:


		
			
$query = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
    SELECT a.title, a.threadid, a.lastpost, a.postusername, b.pagetext
    FROM `thread` AS a
    INNER JOIN post AS b ON a.firstpostid = b.postid
    WHERE a.forumid = 2
    ORDER BY a.threadid DESC 
    LIMIT 0,5");

while($row = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($query))
{
    // $row contains the data.
}

Where 2 would be your forum id.

Thank you for the reply!

However.. Is there a guide how to use php it in a template?
I didn't used php coding before in vBulletin so I'm new to it.
I know its not directly into the template so any leads are welcome. I couldn't find guides or information about it...

Uhm I believe what Dave gave you was a plugin. Its really not possible to put PHP directly into the template without a lot of headaches and coding I do not think anyways. And why did you start a new thread asking pretty much the same thing HERE?
