Hi everyone, my BB journey is hitting a few speed-bumps due to my lack of knowledge, but I'm working on that..slowly.
What I want to know is, can the Home page be modified to look like the homepage of an Xenforo forum (see attachment).
To show a few images in a box, and have the most recent posts from a certain thread/member show up? I know the side bar can be done.
Is there any documentation/templates of something like this? I haven't came across any in my searches, so I thought I would ask.
Also, the forum frontend is written in Html, while the back-end is Php, correct? So I can edit the templates with Html and they will show up?
Thanks,
~ Jay.
It can be done, but you could be held under copyright issues.

Even if it were loosely based on it?
Just showing the most recent posts?

Showing the most recent posts can be done with the "Sideboxes" plugin.

Multi-column portal, portal as home page, floating post details via CSS on portal, etc can be found a http://www.communityplugins.com/forum/fo...php?fid=20
Thank you for the link to your site, it's very helpful.
Can I create a new blank page, add the information/pictures/fields I want, then below add the most recent threads?
just go to your forum folder and open portal.php. it already had the latest threads and such. yo may need to enable them in your ACP under Configuration > Settings >Portal Settings
Works perfect. Until a member post an answer somewhere in the forum or starts a new thread, then duplicate the announcements themselves, so we have 4 columns on the Portal. If the forum mark as read/or posts/threads deleted its all normal again.

I'm having some trouble getting it all set up right even following this:
http://www.communityplugins.com/forum/sh...hp?tid=253
Do you have any copies of the portal_ templates that I could obtain then play around with? They would be very helpful
In the ACP under Configuration > Settings > Portal Settings you put your 2 ids from the forums you will shows on the Portal. (4,49)
The Portal Templates must you create in APC > Template & Style > Template > Add Template > Template Name: portal_announcement_multi > Template Set: Your Template Set > And then the Code. Starting from Add Template, you must do it for the other 2 equally. It's very simple.
