MyBB Community Forums

So I want to use another template from my portal templates. The template is one for latest threads and I've placed the following in index.php:

// Latest forum discussions
if($mybb->settings['portal_showdiscussions'] != 0 && $mybb->settings['portal_showdiscussionsnum'])
{
	$altbg = alt_trow();
	$threadlist = '';
	$query = $db->query("
		SELECT t.*, u.username
		FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."threads t
		LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."users u ON (u.uid=t.uid)
		WHERE 1=1 $unviewwhere AND t.visible='1' AND t.closed NOT LIKE 'moved|%'
		ORDER BY t.lastpost DESC 
		LIMIT 0, ".$mybb->settings['portal_showdiscussionsnum']
	);
	while($thread = $db->fetch_array($query))
	{
		$forumpermissions[$thread['fid']] = forum_permissions($thread['fid']);

		// Make sure we can view this thread
		if($forumpermissions[$thread['fid']]['canview'] == 0 || $forumpermissions[$thread['fid']]['canviewthreads'] == 0 || $forumpermissions[$thread['fid']]['canonlyviewownthreads'] == 1 && $thread['uid'] != $mybb->user['uid'])
		{
			continue;
		}

		$lastpostdate = my_date($mybb->settings['dateformat'], $thread['lastpost']);
		$lastposttime = my_date($mybb->settings['timeformat'], $thread['lastpost']);
		// Don't link to guest's profiles (they have no profile).
		if($thread['lastposteruid'] == 0)
		{
			$lastposterlink = $thread['lastposter'];
		}
		else
		{
			$lastposterlink = build_profile_link($thread['lastposter'], $thread['lastposteruid']);
		}
		if(my_strlen($thread['subject']) > 25)
		{
			$thread['subject'] = my_substr($thread['subject'], 0, 25) . "...";
		}
		$thread['subject'] = htmlspecialchars_uni($parser->parse_badwords($thread['subject']));
		$thread['threadlink'] = get_thread_link($thread['tid']);
		$thread['lastpostlink'] = get_thread_link($thread['tid'], 0, "lastpost");
		eval("\$threadlist .= \"".$templates->get("portal_latestthreads_thread")."\";");
		$altbg = alt_trow();
	}
	if($threadlist)
	{ 
		// Show the table only if there are threads
		eval("\$latestthreads = \"".$templates->get("portal_latestthreads")."\";");
	}
}

So now I wonder if MyBB is able to call up templates like this by putting {$latestthreads} somewhere and magically have it show up in forums (as well as portal). Any help appreciated, thanks.

bump.

add the the template you want to use to $templatelist variable. this should be about line 15 in index.php. then you can add the template into your index template.

{$threadlist}

placed in your index template should display the content
