Cannot get navbar links working properly

[kidswap]

As the 'links' directory is installed outside of my forum folder, I cannot get the links on the navbar (usercp.php etc.) to link properly. They always turn out to be "http://www.mysite.com/links/usercp.php" which of course does not work. How do I get rid of the 'links' before the file? I went in through my admin panel and tried that, but for some reason it won't work either.

make sure your files are in your nav bar replacements section

acp>>vBa Links Directory>>Modify Settings

look at your navbar replacements, If I remeber correctly it drops links and puts in forums

It does add forums, but didn't drop 'links'.

I have a similar problem - only this has to do with the Links Directory Navbar, not the vb or vba navbar (i.e. Home, My Stuff, Submit a Link, etc.). I've installed the links directory as a directory off the root of the website - i.e. the root of the site has a /forum and a /links directory.

These links (and the links to the categories) all point to my /forum directory instead of the /links directory. See http://www.yellowandblack.com.au/links/ for an example.

Should I simply just move the /links directory underneath the /forum directory (i.e. /forum/links)??

That's a problem that's stemming from your Zoints Tags hack. For some reason that hack adds a <base href="http://www.yellowandblack.com.au/forum/" /> tag, which points all relative links to that location. If you post on their support forums though they can probably tell you how to remove it.

Thanks Brian, I'll report back with their answer.

Been a few days since I posted my problem in the Zoints Tags forum without a response so I uninstalled the Zoints Tags hack.

I still have the same problem. Any other ideas which may solve my problem?

That <base href=""> tag is still showing up in the source code, so it looks like one of the Zoints plugins might not have been disabled.

I've checked everywhere but can't find where this tag orginates from. It only appears in the Links and Gallery - nowhere else. I reinstalled the Links directory templates but the problem still persisted.

Not sure what else to do so added "<base href="http://www.yellowandblack.com.au/forum/" />" to the Variable Replacement Manager specifying nothing as the replacement.

This has removed the base tag from the source of both the Links and Gallery sections without appearing to have any effect on other links.

Hopefully this has solved the problem - at least until I find where this tag originates from!
