Hi Andreas,
yeah the beginning is a difficult one thats for shure... 1 weeks ago i had the same problem, firstly i suggest you to read the following articles here on the board:
Creating an own vbulletin site and getting in touch with the very few basics, but you will also see how it works with the template
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228112
bascially if you want to show the website you can create a new template and put this code inside:
Code:
{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
<head>
<title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} - {vb:raw pagetitle}</title>
{vb:raw headinclude}
{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}
</head>
<body>
{vb:raw header}
{vb:raw navbar}
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>
</div>
<h2 class="blockhead">THIS IS AN EXTRA PART FOR YOU TO ECHO A HEADLINE</h2>
<div class="blockbody">
<div class="blockrow">
YOU CAN WRITE HERE YOU MAIN TEXT, BUT YOU DONT HAVE TO USE IT
</div>
</div>
{vb:raw footer}
</body>
</html>
You have to register the variable "{vb:raw pagetitle}" before you render the template, but thats also explained in the article.
The next one you should propably read is this one:

It will help you how conditionals work and read the red line, it is really important : )
After that, I suggest you to read:
http://ragtek.org/blog/vbulletin/vbu...asse-benutzen/
if you cant understand german you can translate it on the right hand side, but actually your name sounds german anyway you should be a bit carefull in some cases "vB::$vbulletin->" doesnt work, what you can simply do is removing the "vB::" and having just
"$vbulletin->etc...."
In case you want to exclude some of your codes into another php file in the folder "/includes" you gotta use "global $vbulletin" otherwise you cant use those things in an external file and it would cause a blank site
i hope that gave u a base to build up on.... keep asking and sometimes
http://members.vbulletin.com/api/ also helps : )
all the best
