Latest Threads from a Certain Forum to Display on ForumHome?

[Death Star]

Is there a way to display the latest threads from only a certain forum in a table on the homepage?

I have a news table in a left column that I would like to have automatically update with the latest threads in the news section, and only the news section.

You could try this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=83230

You would have to change the xml-file a bit.

Find:

PHP Code:

 // fetch the permissions for each forum
     global $vbulletin;
     $forumperms = array(); 

Below add:

PHP Code:

   $limitfids = x; 

x would be the ID of the forum, from which you want to have the threads displayed.

Find:

PHP Code:

// ## HIDE FORUMS WITHOUT THE CANVIEW PERMISSION ##
      if (!($forumperms[$forum["forumid"]] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) AND !$vbulletin->options['showprivateforums']) {
          $limitfids .= ','.$forum['forumid'];
      } 

Remove it.

Find:

PHP Code:

AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids) 

Change to:

PHP Code:

AND forumid IN (0$limitfids) 

If I didn't forget something critical that should work, but give me some feedback.
