Hi! I need to show following portal boxes in index.php
{$welcome}
{$pms}
{$stats})

I have found a thread but it's not working right now. http://community.mybb.com/thread-66053.html

Can someone please explain how to edit Index.php to do this.

Thanks.

I got this thing working on 1.8 and I'm posting it here.

1. Download this plugin. http://mods.mybb.com/view/sidebox

2. Upload sidebox.php to root/inc/plugins

3. Install and activate the plugin through AdminCP. (Configration>plugins)

4. Go to Configuration> Plugin Settings> Sidebox and enable "Show on Index" (Yes) and "Show on Forum display" "Show on Thread display" to (No)

5. Then Go to Admin CP> Templates & Style> Templates> Your Templates> Index Page Templates> index
and add any following box into your index.

{$sbwelcome}
{$sbpms}
{$sbsearch}
{$sbstats}
{$sbwhosonline}
{$sblatestthreads}

If you need to align left or right use this code after {$header}.

<div class="forums" style="float: right; width: 76%;">
{$forums}
 </div>

<div class="sidebar" style="float: left; width: 22%">
{$sbwelcome}
{$sbpms}
 </div>

6. Then go to Configuration> Plugin Settings> Sidebox and set "Show on Index" to (No).
But don't deactivate the plugin.

Thanks.
