Main Link in Nav Bar

[Ghostsuit]

I get the feeling I have this set up wrong some where but when ever I click the nav link to Alternative Nation (Shown in attached image I get taken to

http://www.alternativenation.net/forums/http://www.alternativenation.net//?

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

On RC 2 and you can test it at http://www.alternativenation.net/links/

In your main vBulletin options, make sure that your 'Homepage URL' option is set to the correct URL.

It's set correctly but seems to be getting put in twice.

Ok I found out what the problem was. I had defined complete links in navbar template ie

/forums/$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl] instead of $vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]

and this was messing it up.

what if you need to define full links? how would you fix this issue then? I have gallery on my site, that needs the nav bar to have full links.

[Ghostsuit]

I think your using photpost like me. If thats the case the bit I changed not actually used by PP so it makes no difference the rest can be left.

I'm using photopost 4.8d, however it needed to add in my navbar full path/urls to get the nav to work with the gallery, but now that I have vblinks installed as well, it wants to add the url twice .. in the navbar thats above the links page, which is a pain, not sure how to edit it out .. or stop the nav bar from showing dual links in vba links directory

[Ghostsuit]

Hmm I'm usign the same and the only nav thing I had to edit was the one I post I left the rest as /forums/. Since Photopost doesn't use that part it's working fine. Still it's probably something that would be better fixed.

I had a similar problem to this and changed the code. However, now all my url addresses in the address bar in IE all have a ? switch added to the end for example

how do I loose the question mark?

[Brian]

You don't want to lose the question mark. It's needed for tracking sessions with guests. ;)

[Allen Mead]

aaahhh, right. Cheers Brian :p

Which part of the code did you change?

[Allen Mead]

This might sound silly, but i can't remember now! :(

I'm just running through all the bits and bobs i did the other night.

Maybe Brian can spell it out exactly what i did becasue now I haven't got a clue! I'm very new to all this mysql and bulletin board stuff and am more or less bumbling along in the dark.

Have a look at http://www.astra-mk2.com/forum

and have a quick fiddle
