Customizing the front page

If you want to change up how the front page looks, or add intro text, etc, it's easy to do.Goto core/templates, and there are three files beginning with frontpage_: frontpage_main.tpl frontpage_recentpilots.tpl frontpage_reports.tplYou can copy each one of these to your skin folder, and modify them as you'd like. frontpage_main.tpl:This file contains code which looks like this:

<?php MainController::Run('PIREPS', 'RecentFrontPage', 5); ?>

It's calling a function in the PIREPs module, to show the recent front page PIREPS, and to show 5 of them. This in turn calls the frontpage_reports templateThere is also:

News::ShowNewsFront(5);

Which in turn calls news_newsitem.tpl, which you can also modify. The 5 means it'll show the last 5 news items.

Is there a way to call those functions from a page in a directory outside of the directory in which the phpVMS resides? I know a bit of PHP, but only enuff to get me into some serious trouble if I don't ask. :D
