ForumHome Copy
Hi,
I am basically trying to create a duplicate of the forumhome template (and index.php file) that displays different forums than are on the actual forum home page.
Two questions:
1. How would I make an exact duplicate of forumhome under a different name (test_home)? I followed a basic tutorial for making a new php page and vbulletin template. But if I just copy the code from the forumhome template, it doesn't show the forums. I'm pretty sure this is because there are no forumbits templates "under" my new test_home template. But I don't know how to "copy" those over as well.
2. How does forumhome (and forumbits) decide whether to display a forum and in what order? I know very little about PHP programming, but if I were doing this in some ancient language (that I studied in school), i would increment one by one through the forums and check "if" they should be visible. But I can't seem to find that functionality here. Clearly this is important, because to make my new "test_home" page, I want to feed the template exactly which forums to display instead of having it use the variables set in the forum admin panel.
Does this make any sense? Thanks for the help.
