In the past 1 month , we have had some good experience of customising vbulletin with some different and custom CMS’s . One of them is of course our own CMS , which has yet to make any public release and i am not yet fully sure when it will . But the other two CMS are quite well known as well. The first one was vBCMS , which is available from vbulletin.de . Customising the vbulletin skin for vBCMS was not that much difficult and we were able to do it within the first day of attempt as there were not much to do as such . But , after that we had to design / customise a skin which were to be installed on a site running vbportal from the site phpPortals.com. While doing it , we did run into some initial hiccups , and had to ask the customer to allow us his login info to the customer section of phpPortals . Using this, we were able to view some tips on the phpportals website , which were definitely necessary , as it comes with several changes , additional modules and also has various kinds of strict procedures to follow while creating a skin. Once we saw some of the inistructions, after that it was much more smoother sailing .

Now we can confidently say that we will be able to develop / create a skin even for a customer who needs to use the skin we create for vBCMS or vbportal .
