Two totally seperate vbadvances running?

[baptizer]

I have a quick question I am hoping someone can help me with. I did a search for similar topics, however, none of them were quite what I was looking for. Basically, here are my needs:

I have one instance of vbulletin running (3.0.2). In my forums, I have seperate sub-forums for my MMORPG clans (my star wars galaxies clan and our soon to be created everquest 2 clan). I created the vbadvance cmps page for the star wars galaxies clan without any problems. It pulls the news from a certain forum.

Now what I want to do is create a vbadvance homepage for my everquest 2 clan (pulling settings from a different style and everything). The news forum will, obviously, be different than the star wars galaxies one.

Is this possible at all? I sure hope so. If it is possible, could someone explain to me how I can go about doing this? I renamed my star wars galaxies index file to cabal.php and the site can be seen at : www.cabal.2darkpark.com

Take care!

You could do this one of two ways...

For either method, you would first need to add a new page in the CMPS for your other forum. Set the options as you would like, and just be sure to make a note of what you used for the page identifier (for example purposes, we'll assume you're using 'starwars' as the page identifier.

Method 1). Add a link to that page somewhere, and make the link look like this:
http://yoursite.com/index.php?page=starwars

Method 2) Copy your cmps_index.php file and either rename it or place it in another folder. In the copy of the file, look for:

define('VBA_PORTAL', true);

Below that Add:

define('VBA_PAGE', 'starwars');

That will tell that copy of the file that it should pull the star wars page instead. ;)

Thanks for replying, brian!
And Ill be able to specify which forums to pull the 'latest threads' from and such? In general, I will have two completely different instances of vbadvance with their own settings functionality?
Sounds Great!!
