By default we are getting the lastpost of forum that comes under a category.
But i want to have the lastpost of whole category . I mean let see
A category named 'Discussion' has 5 forums named a,b,c,d and e
what we see in by default :- The category 'Discussion' and under this all the forum names views , replies and it's (forum's) lastpost.
but what i want I will list the forums (a,b,c,d & e) under this category(Discussion) and at the end of the list , beneath the list i will have just one lastpost that filtered from all those forums. The lastpost should be only that one which is most recent .
Is this possible or it already available in MyBB ?

}
$lastPostData = $lastPostCache[$fid];
$date = my_date('relative', $lastPostData['lastpost']);
$profileLink = build_profile_link($lastPostData['lastposter'], $lastPostData['lastposteruid']);
$threadLink = get_thread_link($lastPostData['lastposttid'], 0, 'lastpost');
$threadSubject = $threadFullSubject = $parser->parse_badwords($lastPostData['lastpostsubject']);
if(my_strlen($threadSubject) > 25)
{
$threadSubject = my_substr($threadSubject, 0, 25).'...';
}
$threadSubject = htmlspecialchars_uni($threadSubject);
$threadFullSubject = htmlspecialchars_uni($threadFullSubject);
$catLastPost = eval($templates->render('forumbit_depth1_cat_lastpost'));
}
In your
forumbit_depth1_cat template find
{$sub_forums} and paste
{$GLOBALS['catLastPost']} right after.
Finally, create a template with name
forumbit_depth1_cat_lastpost and the following contents :
<tr>
<td class="trow2" colspan="5">
<span class="smalltext">
<a href="{$threadLink}" title="{$threadFullSubject}"><strong>{$threadSubject}</strong></a>
<br />{$date}<br />{$lang->by} {$profileLink}
</span>
</td>
</tr>

(This is an extended version of the above code.)
is this valid that the guests can also seen the numbers of unapproved threads and posts ? Because with this hook and help of @Laird i managed to did this in my forum. everything shows correct but with that i notice ; guest and members can also view the number of unapproved threads and posts.
Also i am using lastpost avatar plugin , does the same variable works for represent the avatar of lastposter as it was for the lastposter of a forum ?

That is probably undesired effect, but you can edit the template to remove them. My code would need to be improved to take this into account, but I avoided so as to avoid adding more complexity (templates) to it.

No, my code doesn't take this into account, you would need to improve it to accomplish that.
Thank you @Omar for all of this. Thank you so much.
