vb.org Archive - help w/ a template that calls most recent posts, title, etc.

i have the actual php script already to do so, all i need help with is the actual template that utilizes the php script.. does that help? it also might be that i dont know what im talking about. but i have a php script that goes something like this:

Code:

<?php



/* Needed for use without vBA

require_once('./global.php');

*/



/* ###### VARIOUS SETTINGS ###### */



$box_max_title_length=30;

$box_max_post_length=80;

$box_do_parse=0; /* Set to 1 to parse BBCODE */

$box_attachment_file="http://nymfans.com/forums/attachment.php?";



/* ###### GRABBING DATA ###### */



/* Only needed if you're going to be using bbcode */

if($box_do_parse==1){require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');}



/* Forum to Grab thread/post from */

$box_forumid_1=22;



/* Grabbing the thread */

$box_forumid_1thread = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread

WHERE forumid = '$box_forumid_1' ORDER BY thread.dateline DESC ");



/* Grabbing the first post */

$box_forumid_1_first_post=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post

WHERE threadid = '$box_forumid_1thread[threadid]' ORDER BY dateline ASC");



/* Grabbing the first attachment */

$box_forumid_1_image=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."attachment

WHERE postid = '$box_forumid_1_first_post[postid]' ORDER BY dateline DESC");



$image1=$box_forumid_1_image['attachmentid'];



/* ###### FORMATING DATA ###### */



/* Max title length */

if(strlen($box_forumid_1thread[title])>$box_max_title_length){

$box_forumid_1thread[title]=substr($box_forumid_1thread[title], 0, $box_max_title_length);

}



/* Max post length */

if($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]>$box_max_post_length){

$box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]=substr($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext], 0, $box_max_post_length);

}



/* Parse BBCODE if desired */

if($box_do_parse==1){

$box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]=parse_bbcode($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]);

}



/* IMAGE CREATION */

$box_1_image="<img src='".$box_attachment_file."attachmentid=$img_m&stc=1' width='100' height='100' border='0'/>";



/* Template to use for data */

eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('TEMPLATE_NAME_HERE') . '";');



?>

I have vBAdvanced installed on my forums, I'm just not sure of what coding to put in the template on the top module.
