Where to start, beginning a custom css (no html tables) hack.

So far it's going pretty well modifying only within the style manager. Basically I'm chopping out all the html table code and replacing it with custom css code & using that phpinclude_start + the footer to reinclude the absolute elements.

What I expect is going to be somewhat more difficult to include the code chunks outside the VB forum directory.

As an aside, what is VB policy on using the same forum on multiple sites. I know that you cannot do multiple installs but also that parking is ok. What about a situation where you sites hosted on the same server make mysql calls to pull parts of the same forum. For instance, say the main forum is about "Trees who don't code". :P Could I query and include and maniupluate only a section of that main forum on say noncoding-walnut-trees.com?

Your best to email support@vbulletin.com for an exact anwser

using multiple domains, as kind of a parked, or redirect, i would think, isn't an issue.. if it is, then that would suck for a bunch of us, I believe..

the templates are the key to it all, chris.. getting to know them wil be the best thing you could do, and as I can see, you are becoming familiar with them already.. would be very interested on how it goes with the mod_rewrite function from dynamic to static URLs.. One thing that will certainly help you in all of that, would be to become part of something like a google adsense ad program.. it is small and very non-intrusive if you put a small ad in say your footer.. from what I have seen on my site, every time a new thread is created, the adsense form that is then generated for that page calls the google spider and it indexes that page..

and the fact that you aren't supposed to speak of templates here is quite annoying, but if you do have template questions, they are supposed to be asked at http://www.vbulletintemplates.com

I personally hate that "rule".. but threads have been known to get closed due to them being based on a template question or mod..
