I had something like this setup when I used phpBB forums, and im glad to see something made for VBulletin as well. I am about to install it but im curious. I have a layout for my main site that is different from my forums. I want to use my custom menu bars for like login/calender/members CP and so fourth but display the actual content on the main site. Is this difficult? I also want to have a news page but I want to use my custom news title bar above it rather than the look of my vbulletin forums. Im just curious how hard it would be to get the content out but not the actual look of the vbulletin forums.
If you have a completely static page, it will take some integration work, but it is very possible. You can customize the look of the modules in the same way you can customize vb, so I'd think that is possible.
What I mean by static is that you write the html, not a php, asp, cgi, or some other script. Scripts like this dynamically build the html on the fly and that's why they're so much easier to maintain.
So far looking at what you have, it does seem like you main page is static. But your main page also looks like it is already using cmps even though it isn't. Everything that you have on the main page right now could be done using cmps. And it shouldn't be too painful since you already know what you want.
I tried to install this on my COBALT theme, there are some lines that I cannot find it in the navbar templates. Is there anyways to get around with it?
Try setting up a parent-child system for your styles, or it will be hell modifying everything over and over.
Here's what I have, stock vb style is the parent. Under that is a child style where I've put all my mods/hacks. Under that I add any other styles and they inherit most of the mods. Try it and then modify only what templates need mods.
The best place to look for help on this hack is www.vbadvanced.com. There's good on-line documentation as well as complete forums with every question you can imagine asked and answered.
