Thanks in advance!
.core is a custom extension that NTLDR the coder used at www.coreforums.net (which redirects to this thread.) basically a php file only with a custom extension.

.core if i recall was found in some of the templates. SO if you do a search in the templates added by vBindex, you'll find .core in some of them, all you do is edit any instance of .core to whatever extension you are using, IE. php, php3, html, etc....

@gary, I don't have this installed anymore, but i believe the only way to turn off image tags, is to not allow them in the forum you specified as your "News" forums.

http://www.lfpm.org/forum/index.php

I want to fix the header and footer to look same as the forum

Even more then that, i want to remove my homepage and make the vbindex my homepage ( www.lfpm.org ) but in order to do so, i have to edit somethings, i have to add some links and add a "big" link to the forum directly (the same way www.lfpm.org looks like)

So my question is, how to edit the file? (ive been trying to edit it for 2 days now but its not working)

Is there any help file about this?

Thanks
If you are refering to a link back to the portal from your forums, it's easy enough to do. You have to edit your forums navbar template.

I used this in the past

HTML Code:
   
   		   <!-- Begin navbar link to forums home -->
    <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'vbindex'"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a
    href="../forums.php">Forums</a></td>
    </if>
 <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'vbindex'"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="../index.php">Portal</a></td>
    </if>
 	<!-- <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="../forums.php" onMouseOver="window.status='http://www.nemesisforums.net/forums.php'; return true" onMouseOut="window.status=' '">Forums</a></td>-->
    		  <!-- End Navbar Link to Forum home-->
if you want the portal to become your main page you have to edit name of forums script in the admin panel, then name index.php to the name you used in the adminpanel, then rename vbindex,php to index .php

Then apply the code above in the navbar template.

2 template edits needed to be done to correct this:

calendar_smallmonth_day
calendar_smallmonth_header

These 2 templates are modified by the install of vbindex and they are where the "calendar.core" urls come from.

All fixed up now and loving the hack!

The offending line is line 398, the break 1 line:
Code:
                        } elseif ($onlineuser['invisible']) {
                                $home['onlineguesttotal']++;
                                $home['onlinemembertotal']--;
                                break 1;
                        }
Commenting this line out so that it completes the rest of the loop then makes the member list and member numbers render properly.

Hope this helps,
Delphy

I'm sure this has been covered like a zillion times in this forum, but i treid searchng and reading and the thread its just too big!
i simply want my vbindex as my home page (rename vbindex.ph to index.php) but when people click on forums i want them to go to what used to be the original index.php...
And is there a way users can go back to the main vbindex page?
:P

I hope you can help me to make this
