Hello Billy and welcome to vBulletin.org.

I'm not sure if there are any tutorials on how vBulltin is structured, but there are some useful files on the members area at vBulletin.com, for example there are files explaining the templates and the database structure, as well as a file containing the button graphics.

The index page and the hacks area have been custom written by FireFly (aka Chen). Best to speak with him about them.

vB Portal is a popular front-end for vBulletin, but it is not written by the vBulletin team. People seem to either love it or hate it! There are a few hacks here that will allow you to use infromation from your vBulletin database within your main website (look for hacks that mention non-vB pages), and there are a few portal-type hacks here too (look for vBindex, vBhome and WebTemplates).

I pull infro from my forum onto my website without using any specific portal system - just use a couple of hacks from here and a couple I've either modified or written for my own use. They are mainly pieces of PHP code included amongst the regular HTML code.

Hope that helps to get you started.

Darren.
