Do you ever wanted to show latest threads on showthread ? You can do that without products. All you need is to use build-in RSS feed. Here you will be presented all topics within actual forum and all subforums. It's working great!
  1. admincp > vbulletin options > External Data Provider > set yes all
  2. Place this code into template ad_showthread_beforeqr
    Code:
    <!-- show latest active threads -->
    <br />
    <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 
    align="center">
    <tbody><tr><td class="tcat">
    <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_external')"><img 
    id="collapseimg_forumhome_external" 
    src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_external].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
    <a href="forumdisplay.php?f=$foruminfo[forumid]">New topics in $foruminfo[title]</a>
    </td></tr></tbody>
    
    <tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_external" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_external]">
    
    <tr><td class="alt1" width="100%" valign="top">
     
    <div class="smallfont">
    
    <script type="text/javascript" src="external.php?forumids=$foruminfo[childlist]&type=js"></script>
    <script language="" type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    for (var x in threads)
    {
    document.writeln("<a href=\"showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"&goto=newpost\"><img class=\"inlineimg\" src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /></a> <a href=\"showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"\">"+threads[x].title+"</a> <br />");
    }
    //-->
    </script>
    
    </div>
     
    </td>
    
    </tr></tbody>
    </table>
    
    <!-- / show latest active threads -->
  3. Done

Optional
If you want to change time frame of your refreshing threads, go to
AdminCP > vBulletin Settings > External Data Provider
Change the value of Cache Lifespan to for example "1 Minute"

Hope that works great for you, too. I'd be glad to hear from you via pm.


9.2.2008 Fixed an error. Upgrade instruction: Please just copy this new code here into the template. Done.

Although it works I get the following error message

The conditional on line 33 appears to be missing its beginning tag (<if>). This may cause unexpected behavior.

I deleted the </if> and it still works and has no errors.

Is it possible to get it vbseo link friendly?

Will the search engines be able to read these posts?

Cheers

Mally

Also I don't know what you mean by "all topics within actual forum and all subforums"

It just provided a list of recent posts?

It uses javascript to write the codes, so i don't think search engines will pick them up anyway

Thank you very much for your screenshot! This product helped me to get users attracted to similar topics within same forum.

For all: If you installed this mod, please click "Install" so maybe it will be integrated into feature vbulletin editions (like my "show who's online not for guests" modification, which made it into vbulletin 3.6).

And if you like it, please rate it. If you do not like it, please rate it, too
