which template determines guest for showthread?

[testbot]

so i'm still working on this and i've decided the best way is to use the external_complete hook.

i think i just need to recreate the query without the following 'AND thread.visible = 1' and 'AND post.visible = 1' but i'm not sure. i feel like there's a better way.

maybe something like

if ($_REQUEST['forumid'] == 5 && $_GET['secretpass'] == 'somerandomsh!t')
{
-recreate case rss here-
or maybe
-recreate query here-
}

i feel like ya don't like me anymore since i ranted a bit in another thread. lol

anyway, can you at least tell me if i'm on the right track? if you're feeling really generous provide some detail.
