Howdy! I'm trying to create a navigation bar-sized version of the front page of my forums. I of course want to leave the default layout as the normal size, so I can't just edit a new template and set it to that.
I figured I'd try to:
1) Create and modify a template the normal way.
2) Make a copy of index.php (index2.php or whatever) and modify it so that instead of checking to see what template the user has selected it just forces the one I created for the navbar.
Can anyone give me any advice? I'm not asking anyone to code it for me.
I'm not great with PHP, but I'm learning as much as I can. If someone can point me in the right direction though I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
