Latest XX Threads on Forumhome Page

This hack will add your latest xx threads to your forum home page.
The good part is that you can do all this with only 1 query.

The following options are available:
- number of threads displayed
- alternating background color (same like the showthread view)
- thread's title (with link)
- thread's title lenght (just in case you use it in a small table)
- thread's icon
- thread's date and time
- thread's starter (with link)
- thread's no. of views
- thread's no. of replies

[high]The hack uses each forum's permissions.[/high]
In other words, if you have a private forum, your private threads will not show unless you have permissions to view them.

I have had my own version of this running on my forumhome for a few months now - yeah, mine runs with 1 query too. I also have the latest reply poster in as well as the forum category that the thread is in, using JOIN. Took me days to figure out how to join them - in the end Chen helped.

[TECK]

there is no need to use a join. just use the $thread['lastposter'] or whatever other option you want to add that is usually displayed in the showthread. i found that is already alot of information in there. look at my customized look, i only use the thread title and link.
