Links!

[Whiteyez]

Hi i have a problem after i installed the CMPS my links arent working anymore cause they are point for example the register button www.myexample321.com/register.php but this one must be in /forum/register/php.

Also after install the CPMS all my links in the forum and in the CMPS turn into like this:

Blue.

I dont know why. Any help? Im not using the default theme.

Did you try the suggestions in the FAQ forum regarding broken navbar links?

[Whiteyez]

Yes i tried that too..

[Brian]

Can you post a link to your site, and what you currently have for your Header and Navbar Replacements settings?

[Whiteyez]

Here is my site, its locked for now..

[Whiteyez]

The problem with the color of links is fixed.

Only the paths is the problem...

[towermatt]

Looks like those links just need to be recreated as an absolute reference.

[Whiteyez]

And how can i do that? I noob in Vb, i just got my license..

Thanks.

Same here so take my advice with a grain of salt, I am still very much a novice.

This is an example of my header

I bolded the first two but see how all of my "pathways" to images and links are absolute? Meaning the entire file pathway for the item.

Again, I am not sure if this will help as I may not totally understand your problem but I believe it is a great start

I also have a special skin on so this header appears under style options>common templates

[Whiteyez]

Ok fixed all the links! i made a new button to the navbar, i managed to make the button "home" to link from the forum and from the portal to the portal,
i managed to make the button "forum" ( that i create) to link from the forum to the forum but
i CANT MAKE THIS DAMN BUTTON TO LINK FROM THE PORTAL TO THE FORUM!

pls help.. :)

[towermatt]

Which one are we talking about here and...is your CMPS loaded in your forums folder or elsewhere on your server?

My forums button is in the "second nav bar" in the header up there, its the first one. That link shows on every page that I use the CMPS for

http://www.thedarktower.com/palaver <---forums

http://www.thedarktower.com/news <---example of a portal page for news on Stephen King

I just changed it today, but I had a little code in there that made it say "home" when you were on the forum page and "forum" when you were anywhere else, it was quite slick. I am sure I got it from here but can't remember where.

I changed it today because I have photopost loaded elsewhere on my server and it uses the forumhome template. Because of that, there was no link to the forum, I changed it to always link to the forum even when I am on the forum home page. Just because I couldn't figure it out :lol:

That may seem confusing--hopefully I helped your question a bit

EDIT--I found that code I believe, check this out

[Whiteyez]

My CMPS is on www.examplepage.com2/index.php
and my forum www.examplepage.com2/forum/index.php

From the CMPS i cant make the button "forum" to link into the forum, its link into
www.examplepage.com2/index.php.

I dont know what to do..

[towermatt]

You have to figure out where your header information is and change that link to

http://www.yourpage.com/forums/index.php

mine where I stated above because I have a custom skin.

[Whiteyez]

This is the code from the button in the navbar.

href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="{IF}/navigation_forum.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> &nbsp;

How can i change the url?

[Whiteyez]

Done! i found it! Thanks

[towermatt]

Yay!!

Glad you got it worked out
