UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development Addons and Modifications [7.x] Generic Page Outside of forum directory

I've done as suggested...but let me make sure I've done it right.

I have altered nothing but

$_REQUEST['ubb'] = "mypage"; to $_REQUEST['ubb'] = "portal";

and

("/home/threads/public_html/ubb7/ubbthreads.php"); to ("/my/path/to/thefiles/ubbthreads.php");

And my portal shows up via www.galacticempire.net, which is great but is that it, have I done it right ?
