I can use some kind of http.access config to make people go to mysite.com/portal.php and then the forums are index, right?
Then that's what I'll do
And can I approximate what the main site portal is here with vBa? I like it more than vbportal but the editing bit leaves me leery. It'll be a simple portal, just news and a few boxes.
PS: Thanks for all the help guys, you rawk hard.
The center column would be equal of vBa CMPS's "News" module that comes stock. After that it's just be a matter of picking & choosing which of the default modules you'd want to use or create your own.
And don't worry about the edits.... they are really simple, just some minor edits to 4 or 5 of the files. For example, one of the file edits is nothing more than inserting a line so that all of your CMPS templates are grouped together; the rest of the edits are just cut & paste.
The only thing I'd advise, though, is to grab the newest version (1.0.1) from vBadvanced.com because it has a new bells & whistles in it to make life easier.
