    SELECT * FROM thread
    WHERE forumid = ''
    LIMIT 5
    ORDER BY threadid
    DESC
    ");

    while ($threads = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($getthreads))
    {
        $dateposted = vbdate('m-d-Y', $news['postdateline']);

        eval('$threaddisplay .= "' . fetch_template('custom_latest_thread_display') . '";');
    }

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('custom_index') . '");');

?>

Via the AdminCP create a New Template within your vBulletin Style named 'custom_index' (without the quotes) and add to it the following:

$threaddisplay

Now create a new template called 'custom_latest_thread_display' (again, without the quotes) and insert the following into it.

PHP Code:

$thread[title]
<br />
Posted By: $thread[postusername]
<br />
Posted On: $dateposted
<br />
<br /> 


You need to change the path to global.php to your corresponding path. If you are on a CPanel based server (i.e. you can login to your control panel via domain.com/cpanel), then you need to use /home/cpanelusername/public_html/forum/global.php.


Let me know if this works for you. If not, I will create a file for you myself and help you as much as I can given my free time .
