sorry everyone I've trawled the forums and you tube, but cant find anything, I am trying to set my site up so it loads into a homepage instead of the forum, I've watched videos on it but the all talk about either, portal or ip content and i cant find either of these in the market place, they are also mainly videos from 20010/11(cant find anything more up to date) if anyone could help me to do this i would really appreciate it, I have the latest version and also pages. 

Many thanks 

Owen

IP.Content is pages - and you will need that in order to make custom templates and add pages around the forum in order to make a home page. With that you can use PHP widget, you can use database feeds too.

I've made a custom home page simply by using the PHP widget or the WYSIWYG blocks.

Haha so simple yet SOOO frustrating!

If you're building a page in IP.Page, the page can be as simple or as complex as you want which means you can build a homepage with limited coding experience or you can build a very complicated homepage.  

In general, you drag-and-drop blocks into hot zones.  For the blocks, you can rely upon the default IPS blocks or you can download more from the Marketplace.
