I need lastest updated thread to post fully on front page of CMS.

[NPGamers.Net]

The website is here - www.npgamers.net

I have this section in the forum where users can embed video code (html) I will only allow those I trust to post in that section.

I want my front page to have the thread with the lastest bump or comment to update the front page with that thread (only the 1st post in the thread would be wanted)

This will allow their streaming video they embed to be on the front page when they bump their thread or others are commenting on it.

VB4 has standard in cms management Most Recent Thread and you can tell it to only post the lastest updated thread from a specific forum like i have it now on the front page.

It does not however give option to show full first post which is all I need it to do.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. I have not found a better way to allow anyone to update live videos to the front page of a website.

The widget I'm using is this one - vbcms_widget_recentthreads_page

div class="cms_widget">
	<div class="block">
		<div class="cms_widget_header">
			<h3><img alt="" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_cms}/widget-forum.png" /> {vb:raw title}</h3>

This has got to be something simple.....

Just create your own php widget and do a query to grab the post and post the contents. If you want to use and existing widget, then I think you will need to modify the code to show the full post.
