MyBB Community Forums

Hello all,

so i am currently trying to create a nice clean homepage for my site, the portal built into mybb seems like a nice place to start.

So far i have done the following:

configured .htaccess to force site.com/forum/ to the portal page.
portal is currently shows items from my announcements sub forum as well as side boxes on the left hand side (all good)

Things i want to understand how to do but couldn't find recent information on:

are there any updated plugins that allow for manipulation of the portal?

currently the forum navigation buttons home and forum both point to the portal, how can i make it so forum points to the forum and home points to the portal?

I would like to add custom areas to the portal, things like having a featured video be playable from the home page, as well as an almost directory style listing for an information database i am creating.

Any information you could provide on any of this or manipulating the portal in general would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

I just tried hyperportal, i was looking for something a little more controlable, it seems that users have a lot of access over what they see and that could cause more headache than its worth, also the plugins aren't really meeting the needs i have. i was more looking for how i would go about hard coding what i want into portal.php

Thanks for that tutorial on editing the links, worked great!

^ if you want to add the required content with html code then that should be easy through modifying portal template.
