ntldr... i have a suggestion for the new version, if it's not too late. don't know how hard it would be either.
i haven't upgraded yet (and am unsure if i will) as i have done so much work with this and it would be a +++++ to have to redo all of it. i am using your hack to power all of my site (thank you so much). i have nearly twenty additional pages that i have created, using vbindex as the base. i then have gone in and changed the code to point that page to the proper templates. i've had to create a crapload extra templates for all of these additional pages. however, i've taken stuff out of the extra pages (such as the polls, and i'm currently searching for which part of vbindex to remove if you don't use the newest threads in the right menu... don't remember seeing a post about it here, but i am checking now) to reduce querries.
here's my suggestion... you say that the new one can be controlled through the admin cp now, to choose what you would like selected and whatnot. is it possible to have it so that you can create a copy within the cp, choose a name and all of the options you would like selected for that page, and which templates would correspond to the header/footer, left, main and right. know what i mean? then have a dropdown menu perhaps that displays all of the additional pages that you have created and then you can select one and do the work on it from there.
just a thought.
i know that it would make it a lot easier to upgrade my site to the newest version if you had this available.
*edit*
ok, checked through all of the pages, and it's nowhere to be found, so now i'm asking.
is there a way that i can trim the vbindex code to remove querries if i am not using the newest threads display in the right panel (using 2.0.1). thanks.
