    [IPB]Setting IPDynamic Lite as default front page

    I cant remember where i get this hack from but basically if you intend to use IPDynamic Lite as your portal and wanted to set it as your default page instead of going to forum first, then you need to edit the following files and follow the steps:

    Code:
    Open /index.php
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    FIND:
    
    $ibforums->input['act'] = $ibforums->input['act'] == '' ? "idx" : $ibforums->input['act'];
    
    
    REPLACE THAT with:
    
    // Set IPDynamic Lite (IPDL) as the default page //
     $ibforums->input['act'] = $ibforums->input['act'] == '' ? "home" : $ibforums->input['act'];
    // Set IPDynamic Lite (IPDL) as the default page //
    
    
    =======================================================================//
    Step 2 : Save And Close /index.php
    =======================================================================//
    Code:
    =======================================================================//
    Step 3
    =======================================================================//
    
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Open /Skin/s*/skin_csite.php
    
    *Remeber skin edits must be done for all skins you use*
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    FIND:
    
     <a href='{$ibforums->base_url}' title='Board Home'><img src='{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/logo4.gif' alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' border="0" /></a>
    
    
    REPLACE THAT with:
    
     <a href='{$ibforums->base_url}act=idx' title='Board Home'><img src='{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/logo4.gif' alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' border="0" /></a>
    
    
    =======================================================================//
    Step 4 : Save And Close /Skin/s*/skin_csite.php
    =======================================================================//
    Code:
    =======================================================================//
    Step 5
    =======================================================================//
    
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Open /Skin/s*/skin_global.php
    
    *Remeber skin edits must be done for all skins you use*
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    FIND:
    
     <a href='{$ibforums->base_url}' title='Board Home'><img src='{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/logo4.gif' alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' border="0" /></a>
    
    
    REPLACE THAT with:
    
     <a href='{$ibforums->base_url}act=home' title='Board Home'><img src='{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/logo4.gif' alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' border="0" /></a>
    
    
    =======================================================================//
    Step 6 : Save And Close /Skin/s*/skin_global.php
    =======================================================================//
    
    
    
    
    =======================================================================//
    Step 7
    =======================================================================//
    
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Open /Skin/s*/skin_mod.php
    
    *Remeber skin edits must be done for all skins you use*
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    FIND:
    
      <li><a href='{$ibforums->base_url}'>{$ibforums->lang['w_done_home']}</a></li>
    
    
    REPLACE THAT with:
    
      <li><a href='{$ibforums->base_url}act=idx'>{$ibforums->lang['w_done_home']}</a></li>
    
    
    =======================================================================//
    Step 8 : Save And Close /Skin/s*/skin_mod.php
    =======================================================================//
    Code:
    =======================================================================//
    Step 9
    =======================================================================//
    
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Open /Skin/s*/skin_register.php
    
    *Remeber skin edits must be done for all skins you use*
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    FIND:
    
     &lt;&lt; <a href='{$ibforums->base_url}'>{$ibforums->lang['cp2_cancel']}</a>
    
    
    REPLACE THAT with:
    
     &lt;&lt; <a href='{$ibforums->base_url}act=idx'>{$ibforums->lang['cp2_cancel']}</a>
    
    
    =======================================================================//
    Step 10 : Save And Close /Skin/s*/skin_register.php
    =======================================================================//
    Code:
    =======================================================================//
    Step 11 (last one, I promise)
    =======================================================================//
    
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Admin CP -> System Settings -> IPDynamic Lite Set-up
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    VERY IMPORTANT!
    
    ENABLE IPDynamic Lite? - set this to YES
    
    
    Show Site Navigation Menu? - set this to YES (recommended)
    
    
    
    Also IMPORTANT!
    
    Next to Site Navigation Menu Links
    
    
    FIND:
    
    {board_url} [Forums]
    
    
    REPLACE THAT line with:
    {board_url}act=idx [Forums]

    you dont need to download IPDynamic Lite. Just go to the IPB Admin Control Panel>System Settings>IPDynamic Lite Set-up. Under ENABLE IPDynamic Lite?, select yes and it will be activated. And to make that as your default homepage instead of going straight to forum, use the tutorial above to edit the files

    p.s this is for v1.3 in the fantastico. I cant remember how v2 is

    First, locate and open the "ipb_portal" directory in the "Tools_and_Scripts"
    but I dont have any of that.

    lol...IPDynamic Lite and IPB Portal is totally a different thing it depends on what version of IPB are you using. if you are using v1.3 there is no IPB Portal, just IPDynamic Lite.
