I'm just learning about using the portal.php (
http://www.themacadamias.com/portal.php) but it seems to be blank in the area where I would normally place the announcements.
How do I place the announcements there? Do I need a thread specifically for that?
What's wrong!
Also, how do i make it so when users go to my main site(
http://www.themacadamias.com) they see the portal. If I rename it to index.php, how do users get the REAL forum index?
Make sure you have entered the correct fid of the forum where it should pull the announcements from in the Admin CP.
Renaming should work; you could rename the current index page to index2 or something and add a link to it at the top of the page.
Where is it that I enter the FID of the forum to pull the annoncements from? Is there a panel in the Admin CP?
As well, how do I add a link to the navigation bar, and how do I make the logo a link to index2.php?
Sorry for all the questions!
Update, I found how to tell the portal where the announcements are.
Now, as soon as I figure out how to make a link to REAL forum index(index2.php) I can make the current portal.php the index.php.
Thanks!

Admin CP > Board Settings > Change > Portal Settings > first option.

Admin CP > Templates > Modify/Delete > header template; you can use HTML to add your link there.

Also in the header template, find
<div class="logo"><a href="$settings[bburl]/index.php"
and change index.php to index2.php.

If you want it to look like mine
http://harmor.zeeblo.com/mybb/portal.php
Look under "Andrew's Board"
Open portal.php
Find
addnav($lang->nav_portal, "portal.php");
Just comment it out
//addnav($lang->nav_portal, "portal.php");
Thanks!
Oh, and is there any possible way to rearrange order of the boxes? (Online Users, search forums, those boxes)
Admin Panel -> Templates -> Modify / Delete -> Portal Templates -> Portal
Just rearrange the variables below to what order you want the boxes to be
$welcome
$pms
$search
$stats
$whosonline
$latestthreads
