If I wanted to add this to my vBOptions so I don't have to type ..../admincp/vbioptions.php ... what would I have to do?

You can't, vBindex's options aren't compatible with vB's. Search the thread and you'll find the details for Gamma/RC1/RC2/RC3 to add the vBindex Options link in the ACP.

All I have for editable regions are:

phpinclude_end


am I just being daft, but where else would they be?

ACP -> Style Manager -> Click '<<>>' for each parent style -> find the templates in the list.

I think it's this...

Optional File Edit: vBindex Options Link in the ACP
----------------------------------------------------

Optionally you can do the following edit to your ACP's index.php (forums/admin/index.php or /forums/admincp/index.php):

Find:

construct_nav_option(construct_phrase($vbphrase['x_options'], 'vBulletin'), 'options.php?null=0', '<br />');

Add after it:

construct_nav_option(construct_phrase($vbphrase['x_options'], 'vBindex'), 'vbioptions.php?', '<br />');

This will show a link to vBindex Options, just under the vBulletin Options one.

eval($config);
unset($config);
chdir('../'.$admincpdir);
And replace with:

PHP Code:
chdir('../ACP_DIR_HERE'); 
Replacing ACP_DIR_HERE with the name of your admin directory, ie admin or admincp
That did it!

i have done the bit that says to add construct_nav_option(construct_phrase($vbphrase['x_options'], 'vBindex'), 'vbioptions.php?', '<br />');

However, although the link seems to work (it creates a new row in the table in the admincp), its blank so its:

MENU NAV BOX
Options (title + image)
vBulletin Options (first row)
('blank' row that links to vBindex options)
END OF NAV BOX

Also - I know its possible to add a dynamic page - but that looks hard. Is it not possible to use an include to pull a PHP page kinda like an IFrame would do?

yeah, I copied and pasted it:

define('CHDIR_PATH', 'd:\\accounts\\wbprimary\\forum\\install');


but just to check...why does it point to the install DIR?
