Hello guys, this is my first day with MyBB and I want to say that is AWESOME till now
But I have some questions:

1) How can I make my forum to AUTO redirect to portal.php?So for example the portal will be on: www.neoxdigitals.com but also I want it to be called index.php and when you click on "Forum/Community" to be redirected to: www.neoxdigitals.com/forum for example?

2) What portal script should I use?

3) Looking at this website: " http://www.crystalshire.com/ " This explain all my questions till now BUT as I can see the owner merged in some way Apart1 theme with the portal? Who can i get the same effect?

4) As you can see " http://www.crystalshire.com/ " added new pages like: Download,Library and so on, how can I do it too?

Thanks in advice.

You can use .HTaccess if i recall. With the default mybb settings it forces you to go to the portal first. Look in the tut forum, there is one for using the portal as a homepage, which includes what you want to do.

2) What portal script should I use?

Is Portal.php not enough? What's missing?

3) Looking at this website: " http://www.crystalshire.com/ " This explain all my questions till now BUT as I can see the owner merged in some way Apart1 theme with the portal? Who can i get the same effect?

That's a fairly customized theme with the default portal.

4) As you can see " http://www.crystalshire.com/ " added new pages like: Download,Library and so on, how can I do it too?
You can use the Custom Page manager plugin, but there is a downloads systems somewhere if you look.

Thanks in advice.

2) The Default Script Or Portal.php
3)Can you tell me more on that?
4)First, download "Page Manager" plugin. Then make the pages, and add it to your navigation.

Thanks guys for the fast replys!

How hard will be to edit the portal to look something close to the one owned by CrystalShire?

Not very hard. Take a look in the portal template.

Dreamwaver will be useful for this kind of edits?
I know the HTML/PHP basics but never worked with a forum theme so yeah... stupid questions from my side =]

[faviouz]

You don't need Dreamweaver, or any other text editor for the matter. You can edit templates straight off the Admin CP.

Go to Admin CP > Templates & Style > Templates > Your Template Set > Portal Templates > portal. Then edit away!

Add to .htaccess

DirectoryIndex portal.php
