1. I'm not 100% sure what you want, but you can make your main URL redirect to the portal if you want.

2. Edit the portal template.

3. As above.

4. You'll probably have to request a plugin.

You'll just need to edit the portal template, change the HTML to have 3 columns...

Can you please guide me how to do this? step by step..

What do you want in each of the 3 columns??

Delete the content of your 'portal' template with this, it's about as close as you'll get...

<html>
<head>
<title>{$mybb->settings['bbname']}</title>
{$headerinclude}
</head>
<body>
{$header}
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" border="0" align="center">
<tr><td valign="top" width="20%">
NAV LINKS HTML<br><br>
{$stats}
MUSIC CAPS<br><br>
{$whosonline}
</td>
<td valign="top" width="50%">
{$latestthreads}
CUSTOM BLOCK
</td>
<td valign="top" width="20%">
{$search}
{$welcome}<br><br>
CUSTOM BLOCK FOR MUSIC CAPS
</td>
</tr>
</table>
{$footer}
</body>
</html>

The things in capitals will need extra stuff adding in, and make sure the portal settings are set so that the things you want to show are turned on.
