Just installed for my friend, it looks great! I may think of some way to use it on my site.

There's one problem:

If you set News Forumid (in ACP) being some hidded forum, and you go to portal page, it will give you sql error.

Double check your file edits. Something is having a problem.

*Install!

Ya know, I downloaded the zip and thought it was going to be a difficult process to install it.

Pfft......yeah, I was wrong!

Very easy! Very straightfoward. I like!

somehow it doesn't want to change skins at my site. It can't be the shoutbox, because it didn't want to change them even before I added that...

Any advice?

Go into your CMPS page properties (ACP --> vBa CMPS --> Edit Pages --> {select your page} Edit) and make sure that the value for "Custom Style for this Page:" is set for "Use Default Style" and not "Default Style" or anything else.

[question?]

Great Stuff! just like to say, i bought this copyright removal and a vbulletin with copyright removal!

Is there a way to have the "latest news topics" block only pull topics from say 10 specific forums, rather than one?

Also, is there a way to add a block with links to my sponsors and affiliates?

I am new at this.

Hey guys, got a quick question for you.

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.

Your main page is EXACTLY what I am looking for.....I am fairly new to VB and PHP ...would you be willing to share how you did this?

Awesome job indeed! Two Thumbs UP!

You'll find a lot of help with things like this at www.vbadvanced.com.

You can make the news topics pull from multiple forums, just add the forum ids to the "News Options" under that particular page (or the default page)

You can add blocks that can do anything you imagine. It is very easy to make blocks that have banner ads and links to your sponsors. You can even integrate it with phpadsnew.

Feel free to look at my site and I'll try to help however I can.
