We're trying to figure out if this is what we're looking to do on our site: basically we want to set up different index pages in different directories that call news from the same vBulletin, but different forum ID's. It LOOKS like this is what this does, but I want to make sure before I break anything.

Example: We're re-developing our gaming site. We have our main page that is general news, etc. Then we have some specific game pages that live in their own directories that we want to have track their own news forums. So our main page is at our yourdomain.com/myvbindex.php, the gaming pages would be at yourdomain.com/games/game1/index_game1.php

would this work?

If you'll open your myvbindex.php file and look for this line:

// News

Right above that you'll want to place some coding like this:

PHP Code:

if ($action=="newpage") {
eval("\$newsbits = \"".gettemplate('index_newpage')."\";");
} else { 


Then you'll want to look for this line:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->free_result($getnews);
unset($news);
} 


Right below that you will want to add another }

Then you'll want to create a template called index_newpage (of course you can call it whatever you'd like, just be sure to change the name in the code above).

Then to link to that page, you would use the url http://yoursite.com/myvbindex.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newpage
And again the "newpage" part after the action can be changed to whatever you'd like, just be sure to change that in your coding as well.
