Well, here's a question for you guys.
I'd be forever grateful if somebody could get this to even semi-work. I've chosen to use this method of creating pages since the thought of customizing a portal to get rid of all the blocks is beyond me. Pretty much all I need to do what a lot of the portals do, display threads from a "news" forum with simple comment links. That's it, I just need to know how to get the title, date, author and comment links on there and I'd be all good - from there I can customize the template normally. ^_^ Thank you for all your help in advance, and I really hope somebody can solve this for me. BTW: Does anybody find it odd that Greg hasn't visited this thread in a while? |

Ok I got the extra page to display, thank all of you for the information I have this code in my template
Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype] <html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]"> <head> <title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title> $headinclude </head> <body> $header $navbar <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr> <td class="tcat"><h2>City Ordinances (the Rules)</h2> This forum is a great place to post questions, answers, or have a productive discussion on web development. While we may delete anything we find inappropriate, it is rare that such a post is made as the members here have been very helpful to each other. The following are guidelines to follow when posting a message or reply:</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt1">$vbphrase[insult_flame]</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt2">$vbphrase[no_spam]</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt1">$vbphrase[illegal_material]</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt2">$vbphrase[cross_posting]</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt1">$vbphrase[homework]</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt2">$vbphrase[flooding]</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt1">$vbphrase[all_caps]</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt2">$vbphrase[no_politics]</td> </tr> <td class="alt1">$vbphrase[mod_time]</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt2">$vbphrase[read_faq_first]</td> </tr> </table> $footer </body> </html> Thanks for any assistance |

IMHO, it would be easier to modify one of the portals to do this than to add everything to this hack to accomplish what you need. |

Take a look at vBadvanced. You could propably get by with a simple template mod once you get it installed (unless you are already running one instance of it). All the blocks are contained in the index template, so you could either remove them from the template or comment them out.

I have a statement then one question:
Ive placed this in the websites root directory as the main page of my site: http://www.joeygowdy.com My forums are in a different directory: http://www.joeygowdy.com/forum Ive already made all the required changes, now for the question: If I ever choose the have the vbboard switched offline for updates, will the main site also be unavailable due to the fact that Im useing vbtemplates to power my main site? |

Is there a way that you can add new pages on your index directory rather than the forum directory?
Meaning, the new template works only if the file is added within the forum directory but would like to know if you can make these page work outside of a forum page. BTW: Great hack! Clicks Install. Edit: Sorry, I just realized you can not ask questions in here. |
