Intex - Just creating a new page with the header and footer is fairly easy. I'm not sure I follow you as to why you need to preserve the forum permissions though if it's just going to be a page with the header, footer, and some html... If you just need a page with the header and footer though, the easiest way would be to create a new file with the following content:

PHP Code:

<?php
error_reporting(7);

$templatesused = 'yourcustomtemplate';

chdir('/path/to/your/forum');

require('./global.php');

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('yourcustomtemplate')."\");");

?>

You would enter the path to your forum in the chdir part (or if the file is placed in your forums directory then that line isn't necessary and can be removed). Then you would create a new template and enter all the html in there, and just use the variables $header and $footer just like in every other template. And of course you can call the template whatever you want, you just need to be sure to change the 2 places you see yourcustomtemplate in the file to whatever you named the new template. I'm assuming there's something more that you needed to be able to do with these pages since you mentioned the forum permissions, so if you could elaborate a little more as to what you're trying to do with those then I'll be glad to try and help.


Yuber - You could try opening your myvbindex file and looking for:
require('./global.php');

Right above that add:
$stlyeid=1;

Then you would just change the 1 there to whatever styleid you want it to be. I'm not sure how well that will work though as when I tried it, it kept that style when I went to other pages even though I had another one selected. :ermm:


Hostc - If the style is only different in the colors and etc, then the new style will work fine. If the new style also has a new template set with it, then you will also have to install the index templates with that template set (I think). I'm not positive about that though as I only use one template set and just have different colors and such with my other styles. I'm pretty sure though that you will have to also add the index templates to the new template set. I'm sure there would be an easier way than to just copy and paste them all into the new set, so if you add some new styles and need some help let me know.
