Changing The Way MyBB Does Threads

[Eric J.]

So, I have a pretty ambitious project I'm working on and Xthreads seems to be the only option. I'll try to explain it in as much detail as I can, and hopefully I can combine some already existing tutorials to get most of it done.

So first off, I want the index page to be a list of threads from a certain section (The forum will only have one section). I'd prefer if they could be ordered by either view count or reply count. It would be nice if each thread could have a custom class, for example class="fid1" so that I can style them on a per thread basis.

This will be a very barebones layout, simple information, users won't be able to post threads, only reply to them. They won't be able to PM, the control panel will be mostly stripped. But if I can get what I listed before, that would be a big step in the right direction.

I'd probably be better off with a different software, but I'm extremely comfortable in the MyBB ACP, and the topic of the site is MyBB so I'd love to be able to get this done with XThreads.

I have some other stuff to ask, but I'll stick with this for now.
