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!

admincp > vbulletin options > External Data Provider > set yes all

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 -->

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.
