Changing index.php for custom category list?

I share my forums with some other motorsport sites including some rally sites. What I would like to do for them is allow them to link to my front page but only see the rallying and one other category i.e. I have the categories[*]General[*]Racing[*]Rallying[*]Computers[*]Private Messaging

Want I want to do is create a new index.php say rallyindex.php which will only display[*]General[*]Rallying[*]Private Messaging

I've had a look around index.php but can't make head nor tail of it. Anyone be kind enough to help?

Go look at http://www.bigsoccer.com. Is this what you are looking for?

No. Nothing like that. I don't need an active topics feed.

I simply want my index page to *not* display 2 of the categories but display all the remaining categories (plus the forums within them of course) this only being the case if the user arrives at a site through say rallyindex.php instead of index.php which will display all the categories and forums within them.

Um, you looked at the wrong thing. Click on the geographic links at the top of the page.

Mark,
I dont think hes talking about the active topics....if you click on the links in the red bar at the top I think that is exactly what you want

Care to share how this was done?

PS. Bit busy that board isn't it!!

Thats exactly what I'm looking for also.

Me too Me too!!!
