vbseo front page

**LarryEitel** · 09-01-2008 06:17 PM

Can anyone tell me what vbSEO is using for their front page? Custom? or a particular vB Mod?
Thank you

it is vb advanced

**LarryEitel** · 09-01-2008 07:01 PM

Are there any details as to how vbadvanced is integrated with vbSEO style?
Thank you

AFAIK, it's not. you will have to update the vba templates yourself.

IMO, stay away from it. I hate vba and everything about 'portals'. It's nice software, don't get me wrong... it just don't offer anything you can't easily do on your own.

Ie,

if you want a homepage, make a home page

in vb options, change forum home from 'index' to 'forum'
re-name index.php to forum.php in your filesystem.
create a CRR in vbseo, (same thing vbseo does)

Code:

 '^forum\.php' => 'forum/'

create a new blank file, index.php

place the following code into it:

Code:

<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'homepage'); // change this depending on your filename
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array(

);

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array(
    
);

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
    'about',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################



$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Welcome to yourdomain.com';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);



eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('homepage') . '");');

?>

save.

now, go into vb style admin.
make a new template, called homepage (caps must match!!)
and place this code into it

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
    <!-- no cache headers -->
    <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
    <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
    <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
    <!-- end no cache headers -->
    $headinclude
    <title>Welcome to whatever.com</title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar


<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
    <td class="tcat" id="top">Welcome, or whatever here...</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="alt1">

main content block here
</td>
</tr>
</table>



$footer
</body>
</html>

and between the navbar and the footer, you can build your html as you want on your homepage

I threw in a basic table to start with.

No need for vba, you can code what ever you want using vb templates nice and easy

Thanks Brian :P

Thanks Brian, how would I go about adding a sidebar to that?

**wmlvb** · 11-19-2008 04:09 PM

are you using ajax tabs content by bobostr for your tabs?

How did you get the tabs Portal from looking like the rest of you template? I like that look better than on I have on my page that looks like a forum!
