Not exactly what I'm after.
I have tried many things and cant seem to work it out.
The closest I got was a custom php page using copied headers and footers from a theme.
But if a user would have a separate forum theme that becomes moot.
What I want is to set a separate theme for a php page I created.
I tried a template but that didn't work too well either.
Calling a template from a php file:
Theme used for this is Square
<?php
define("IN_MYBB",1);
include("global.php");
eval("\$page .= \"".$templates->get("test")."\";");
output_page($page);
?>
The template I called:
<html>
<head>
<title>site test</title>
{$headerinclude}
<style>
#container {
background: #003965;
}
.breadcrumb {
display: none;
}
.indexpage
{
color: #FFFFFF;
}
</style>
</head>

Also tried making a stand alone php file that that din't work too well.
Anytime the theme is changed, the template or php messes up as it tries to apply to the selected theme instead of just the 1 it was coded for.
Eg its coded for Square and if anyone uses default or something else it'll mess up.
If I only wanted to force 1 theme and that's it no changes allowed on the forum by users it would be fine.
Basically all I wanted is a separate front page using a certain MyBB theme so if a user would change the theme in the forums the front page stays on a certain theme.
I'm not really a coder so I guess it would have to be written all independent of MyBB as I was also hoping once I had a separate page with a theme I could put blocks on showing current threads etc in a custom div layout structure.
