WONDERFUL!!!!! I'm so happy to see this excellent add-on updated for 3.7 (even tho the previous version works on my 3.7 sites flawlessly).
I've nominated it (again) for MOTM, and I'll be sending a donation as soon as I get back to work. I use this on every forum site that I have, wouldn't be without it!

(Actually this hack is one of the most popular vb hacks so it is used by hundreds -if not thousands- of vbulletin sites and you can easily find them if you go to google and search "Logician's WebTemplates" WITH quotation marks)
I found my sites :D

I have to say how impressed I am with the work that went into this upgrade to 3.7. Logician, you are amazing! All the new templates are just great, and very much needed on most sites, imo. I'll be using most of them on both of mine, eventually.

Thanks, once more!

Default Basic Theme), than edit it and remove sections you don't need (eg. $navbar). If you don't want header or footer as well, you can remove them too or create new webtemplate headers/footers with your changes and use that one in your splash page.

However when you told "a new domain that I'm starting", I hope that forum is also under that same domain. Obviously you can't have forum in domain A and splash page in domain B. :) Webtemplates will be in the same domain your forum is installed.

Thank you for the instructions on that! :D

I'm going to try it out in the next couple of days (hopefully this Tropical Storm doesn't turn into a Hurricane or do damage in our area) and report back if I need some help.

As far as the quoted statement...I was planning on having a new 'entry-point' to my site with it's own domain name and have it 'point' to the new template page created. But, I just realized that I won't be able to do that directly. I'd have to do a 301 redirect to the web template page that I create. Then, launch to wherever I'd like to from there. That should work, right?

Drats... I see no one else has posted about the issue I have. I just know this is going to be one of those forehead-smacking DOH moments.

In the installation directions it says to import the file named product-webtemplates.xml. The only xml file I see that I was directed to upload is cpnav_webtemplates.xml. I'm given the option to Either upload the xml file from my computer OR import from my server. I'm guessing I need to import it from server... but where do I find it? *blush*

It is not among the uploaded files. When you unzip the file, there are 2 xml files OUTSIDE forum folder it creates. They are in the same folder where you find the installation instructions. :)

Not sure if I can read you correctly on this, but I believe you can do what you want with a redirect or iframe. :)

omg... there they are too. I'm such a nub. ^^

Need more coffee... it's too early.

THANK YOU!

I have my WaltDisneyBoards.com site where my forum is (and where this template is going to be built).

I then have my WDBHUB.com domain that I'd like to use this template for. But, since I can't use it directly on the domain name....I would have to do a little 301 redirect from that domain name to the WaltDisneyBoards.com/NewTemplatePage so that it would 'seem' like this NewTemplatePage was at this different domain.

That would work, I assume.

301 redirection will work but then the url will change. So for instance your visitor will type wdbhub.com in her browser but after 301 redirection, she'll end up at waltdisneyboards.com/forum/view.php?pg=wdbhub

If this is ok, yes you can do it. If you don't want browser url to change, you can consider options these:
1- If you domain registration company supports domain forwarding you can give it a forwarding command in your control panel and their name server will automatically push users to your webtemplate without domain change
2- You can put a simple html file to your wdbhub.com which has a iframe to waltdisneyboards.com/forum/view.php?pg=wdbhub and users will not notice domain change in the addressbar. ;)
