Hi all,
I've look all over to do what I want, but haven't really found what I'm looking for....
I want my vBAdvanced homepage to have all the usual header and footer stuff on it, as you would expect any vBulletin Forum page to have. But, I would like to change the central part of the vBAdv homepage:
I would like to have only 2 colums, the left taking up the space of the left and central columns (eg, for size, as presented on the standard installation), together with the standard width right column; basically, a big left column, and a normal right column, with no central column (or however it could be done).
Then in this left column, I would like to display only 1 post, the most recent post from a particular thread.
I thought, perhaps, that I could just make the left column width 0px, and the left column padding 0px. Would this increase the size of the central column?
But, still, I wouldn't know how to display a single post.
Surely this can be done by just editing the modules, or something, and wouldn't need to bugger around with PHP files, or templates, and the likes of. From reading other posts, I expect it wouldn't be a difficult job, just that I haven't got a clue.
I'm sure it's a simple matter, and I'm just trying to overcomplicate things.
Any help will be greatly received, and thanks in advance for any I get.
:-D
If you need to see my cmps page, then please let me know, so I can turn the forum back on; the forum's not running at the moment, because I'm still buggering with it, and filling it with posts and stuff.
But, the cmps is installed as standard, and hasn't been messed with yet, so you will have an idea of how it looks at present.
