Most Recently Posted Thread in News Feed?

[Timebomb007]

Hi. Is it possible to add the most recently created/posted thread from a board into the news feed, where it automatically updates when a new thread has been posted? Just for new threads in a specific board, not replies to a thread. Thanks.

I thought this could be done as a template since you can have last updated thread in the news feed. Is that not true? Would it need to be a plugin?

The news feed can already obtain threads from a specific board as long as that board's contents are visible to everyone.

If you need it to update the list based on different criteria or want to obtain threads from more than one source you'll need to use a plugin to accomplish this instead.

Oh, that's right; that's different from what I am looking for. Like $[last_updated_thread] is for last updated thread. Is there one for last created thread that can be used with a board ID?

The Board List template is the only place with a variable like that, and it requires you to loop through every board in the list.

But since it's the Board List template you wouldn't be able to output the HTML anywhere other than the board list.
