Default Need to display VBulletin items on pages outside vbulletin

Im sure this is a question that is asked time and time again, but i have searched and searched and am coming up with nothing.

I have a Wordpress page and in the sidebar I want to display X # of recent posts from all the forums that are available to the viewer who is viewing the page. I have the Wordpress to VBulletin bridge running, and the login runs just fine on the wordpress page, so I dont think that will be an issue.

I know a lot about coding for wordpress, but coding for VBulletin I know pretty much nothing about. So what code to use to set up the queries and all that, its all lost on me.

Heres what I want:

--------

Latest Forum posts

Thread Title
Posted by User* on Day Time
Post preview

*Ideally clicking on the username would take you to their profile.
--------

What query do I use to call those posts? Do I need a hook, I barely even understand what a hook is. Then what code generates the bolded areas? Actually I think i can get that part on my own, its really the query that i have no idea how to implement on a separate page.

I have been able to make this work like i want to using external.php?type=js but it doesnt allow me to link to the user profile or insert the post preview, and thats what I really want.

Any help you can give would be appreciated, or point me in the direction of any tutorials. like I said, im not sure what I need so im not exactly sure what to search for.

Thanks.
