For the link directory, I use this version:
http://mybbhacks.zingaburga.com/showthre...http://mybbhacks.zingaburga.com/showthread.php?tid=398&pid=65

But it depends on your theme.

For the left menu, I just add images beside the filtering URL in xtldir_forumdisplay_threadlist template. You can find the filtering URL block in line #4 - #34:

HTML Code

4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34

<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder"> <tr> <td class="thead"> <div><strong>{$lang->xtldir_links_category}</strong></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="trow1"> <strong><a href="{$forumurl_q}filtertf_xtldcat=Search Engine">Search Engine</a></strong> <div class="smalltext">Links For Search Engines</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="trow1"> <strong><a href="{$forumurl_q}filtertf_xtldcat=MyBB Forum">MyBB Forum</a></strong> <div class="smalltext">Links For MyBB Forums</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="trow1"> <strong><a href="{$forumurl_q}filtertf_xtldcat=Entertainment">Entertainment</a></strong> <div class="smalltext">Links For Entertainment Sites</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="trow1"> <strong><a href="{$forumurl_q}filtertf_xtldcat=News And Education">News And Education</a></strong> <div class="smalltext">Links For News And Education Sites</div> </td> </tr> </table>

If you take a look at the code above, you will see this main structure:

HTML Code

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder"> <!-- Start Block Header --> <tr> <td class="thead"> <div><strong>{$lang->xtldir_links_category}</strong></div> </td> </tr> <!-- End Block Header --> <!-- Start Filtering URL --> <tr> <td class="trow1"> <strong><!-- Category URL And Name Here --></strong> <div class="smalltext"><!-- Category Description Here --></div> </td> </tr> ........... <!-- End Filtering URL --> </table>

---

You only need to put the image for each category there, something like this:

HTML Code

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder"> <!-- Start Block Header --> <tr> <td class="thead"> <div><strong>{$lang->xtldir_links_category}</strong></div> </td> </tr> <!-- End Block Header --> <!-- Start Filtering URL --> <tr> <td class="trow1"> <div class="float_left"><!-- Image For Category Here --></div> <strong><!-- Category URL And Name Here --></strong> <div class="smalltext"><!-- Category Description Here --></div> </td> </tr> ........... <!-- End Filtering URL --> </table>

---

Or, you can use an additional <td> tags, like this:

HTML Code

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder"> <!-- Start Block Header --> <tr> <td class="thead" colspan="2"> <div><strong>{$lang->xtldir_links_category}</strong></div> </td> </tr> <!-- End Block Header --> <!-- Start Filtering URL --> <tr> <td class="trow1"> <!-- Image For Category Here --> </td> <td class="trow1"> <strong><!-- Category URL And Name Here --></strong> <div class="smalltext"><!-- Category Description Here --></div> </td> </tr> ........... <!-- End Filtering URL --> </table>

---

Again, how the layout will be, depends on your theme.

For the portal, do you mean the contents or the layout?
