This short tutorial will show you how to add your own boxes to your portal.
The code for a new box is
<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder">
<tr>
<td class="thead"><strong>Box heading here</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="trow1"><span class="smalltext">Box content here</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
Put this at the end of one of these templates depending on where you want your custom box
portal_welcome
portal_pms
portal_search
portal_stats
portal_whosonline
portal_latestthreads
Thats it, easy huh?
Moved to the Tutorials section.
this beautifully explained, so can we add such boxes in index instead ?
Huh, cool! Subscribing to this to use it later.
No answer to my question, Can we add such boxes to index.php page ?
There was a plugin that enabled 'side boxes' on index, but it's momentarily unstable in MyBB 1.4.4. If you want new sideboxes you'd have to wait. If you want to add tables under a forum or somewhere else, I suggest checking the 'forumdisplay' template and see if you can apply the same trick they used here.
If it doesn't help, you can always remove it.

Yes you jus have to use CSS to edit the Index.php. you have to create a custom box and push the forums over.
