1. Simple, first we make a custom template and lets title it "customized_displayforum" go to you styles manager and go to Forum Display Templates>FORUM DISPLAY, copy and paste the default (unmodified) code and paste it into our newly made "customized_displayforum".

2. Now we add the lines below at the beginning of our code. Make sure that the forumid you want to have a customized view to be 1.

PHP Code:


			
$stylevar[htmldoctype]

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

<head>

$headinclude

<title>$foruminfo[title_clean]<if condition="$pagenumber>1"> - <phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase></if> - $vboptions[bbtitle]</title>

<if condition="$show['inlinemod']"><script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_inlinemod.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script></if>

</head>

<body>

$header

$navbar



[COLOR="DarkGreen"]<if condition="$forumid == 1">

<else />

... (Template)



</if>[/COLOR]

$footer

3. Go into the Plugin manager, create a new product then create a forumdisplay_complete hook like so:

PHP Code:


			
eval('$customized_displayforum = "' . fetch_template('customized_displayforum') . '";');

4. Go back into Forum Display Templates>FORUM DISPLAY from the styles manager and place the variable we defined in the hook $customized_displayforum at the very top like so:

PHP Code:


			
$stylevar[htmldoctype]

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

<head>

$headinclude

<title>$foruminfo[title_clean]<if condition="$pagenumber>1"> - <phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase></if> - $vboptions[bbtitle]</title>

<if condition="$show['inlinemod']"><script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_inlinemod.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script></if>

</head>

<body>

$header

$navbar





<if condition="$forumid == 1">

[COLOR="rgb(0, 100, 0)"]$displayresources[/COLOR]

<else />



....

</if>



$footer

Customize your customized_displayforum template to your liking, then view forum 1 for results. I hope this helps for others!

PS: If you want the custom display to view in multiple forums you can do so like this:

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(a,b,c,x,y,z))">

Just replace the a,b,c,x,y,z with the forumids. So if you want the customized forumdisplay to be viewed in forum 1, 5 and 6 you would place this code.
<if condition="in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(1,5,6))">
