You have to create a template forumhome_latestthreadbit.

Put

<div class="smallfont">  	
<if condition="$show['firstnew']">  		
<a href="showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]&amp;goto=newpost"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_first_new_post]" border="0" /></a> 
 	</if>
  	<if condition="$show['icon'] && !$show['firstnew']">
  		<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/$thread[threadiconpath]" border="0" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" title="$thread[threadicontitle]" style="vertical-align: text-middle" />
   	</if>  	
<a href="showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]" title="$thread[preview]"><strong>$thread[title]</strong></a>  	
<em>$vbphrase[last_post]:</em> $thread[date] <if condition="$vboptions['yestoday'] != 2"><span class="time">$thread[time]</span></if> <phrase 1="member.php?find=lastposter&amp;t=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>  	
&raquo; $vbphrase[replies]: $thread[replycount]  
	&raquo; $vbphrase[views]: $thread[views]  
</div>

into it.

I forgot to add the "cache_templates" plugin to the product

Re-download it, uninstall the previous product and install this new one

How to I can place latest threads in under navbar?

[Xplorer4x4]

Just put the template edit for forumhome and aply it to your navbar. Thats what I did.

Any chance of getting this to display the forum name as well?

[Chris M]

In the main plugin code, find:

PHP Code:

    $thread['title'] = fetch_censored_text(fetch_trimmed_title(unhtmlspecialchars($thread['title']), 22)); 


Add below:

PHP Code:

    $forumdata = fetch_foruminfo($thread['forumid']), 1)); 


Then alter the template to add $forumdata[title] where you want it to show

That should work but it's untested

Chris

That syntax was close but did not work.

Try this:

Find:

PHP Code:

$thread['views'] = vb_number_format($thread['views']); 


Add Below:

PHP Code:

$forumdata = fetch_foruminfo($thread['forumid']); 


If you wanted to add a link to the forum name add this to your template:

<phrase 1="member.php?find=lastposter&amp;t=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase> 
in the <a href="http://www.YOUR_SITE_HERE.com/forumdisplay.php?f=$thread[forumid]"> $forumdata[title] forum</a>.
