Best way for my homepage
 

Im struggling here from converting over from UBB to Vbulletin in terms of my homepage. Before with UBB classic, I designed my own homepage, and just used php include statements which called my "whos online", calendar, latest topics, etc.

However I know two ways now to create a homepage with VB.

• CMPS
• [vB 3.0.0] - How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates) found here --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...4&page=1&pp=15

Im not sure what the difference is here, but I dont know if either is entirely what Im looking for. The CMPS is cool and all but there are many things I dont want, like the polls being used from the forums, instead of creating custom ones before with 3rd party script. Also, just the look of the text boxes, before I had designed them differently.

I dunno, I need the best method for me and the easiest. Alot of these hacks above I mentioned require alot of know how. Can I somehow take my current page, and subsitiute my include statements for VB info that I want to pull? LIke latest topics, etc?

I am sure that there a some ppl out there who could do that for you, but the question is if they are willing to do so (for free) :)
As we don't know your environment it's kinda hard to say what would be the easiest way, what needs to be done and such as most often this requires custom code.

The easiest way would be to visit vbadvanced.com and download his cmps for free and all of those things have been done for you.

Check out vbExternal 1.6 by Zero Tolerance, another option you can consider.

alright thanks, that looks interesting too. Theres just so many options
