Hi people, I have listed the cmps home page in my root dir, and vb in a sub folder called /vb all the stats etc works perfect, except when I use the nav bar @ the top, it leaves out the /vb/ e.g /register.php not /vb/register.php, however if I put it in the same dir as the vb, of course all the links work, Have I gone wrong somehwere?

I don't think you did anything wrong on the installation, cause you said everything else work, I don't know. Maybe it has to do with the path that you have entered in the cmps_index.php. Sorry I personally can't help you much with this.

Spotted this problem ages ago, for a work around to fix this problem. Put the "cmps_index.php" in your vb folder (forums folder) and use a "index.html" file located in your ROOT directory instead that will lead straight to the cmps_index.php file from your root. Then your portal will work correctly because it's also now in your forums folder like the forum index file to link to other files there, unlike when it's in your ROOT which causes no end of problems.

Use this code below to create a simple index.html file and place it in your ROOT and move the portal index to your forums folder.

Here download and use this that has your URL already in the HTML file for you to use that leads to you cmps_index.php if you have not re-named it.

That's really a lot of extra work for no good reason. The CMPS has options to replace filenames and such so it should be able to work anywhere on your server without a problem.

Do you have a test account that I could login with? Can't really see much otherwise...
