To add more custom templates to your homepage, follow the instructions below...

Look in your myvbindex.php file look inbetween the following lines of code:

PHP Code:

if ($showcustom2) {
  $getbgrow=getrowcolor();
  eval("\$custom2 = \"".gettemplate('index_custom2')."\";");
} 


And:

PHP Code:

$getbgrow=getrowcolor();
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('index')."\");");

?> 


In that space you can add code for it to call more custom templates. You would just add something like the following:

PHP Code:

eval("\$custom3 = \"".gettemplate('index_custom3')."\";"); 


Or, if you would prefer to have the option to turn these templates on/off in the Admin CP like the first two, you would add something like this:

PHP Code:

if ($showcustom3) {
  $getbgrow=getrowcolor();
  eval("\$custom3 = \"".gettemplate('index_custom3')."\";");
} 


Then, only if you want to add the options to turn them on/off you would run the following queries via phpMyAdmin.

INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,50,'Show Custom Template 2?','showcustom2','0','Show your second customized template.','yesno','30');

You would change the two places you see the number 2 in that query to 3, then 4, and so on for more templates. You would also need to change the last number (30) to incriment by one for each template you add (that's the part that tells it what order the option should be displayed).


The variable $custom3 in the code above can be called whatever you would like and would be what you would place in your index template to display your new custom template. Then the part index_custom3 in the above code may be renamed to whatever you would like to call your new template. Also, if you would like to be able to use the $getbgrow variable in that template to alternate between your firstaltcolor & secondaltcolor, you should add the following above that code as it is with the others.

$getbgrow=getrowcolor();
