Installing CMPS in same folder as forums

[adblaze]

Okay, I know this has already been addressed. I have read this thread:

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25

There are issues with this fix.

This is my forum:

http://www.thegameforum.com/

Once you change the forum index which in my case I changed it to "gameforum":

http://www.thegameforum.com/gameforum.php

All of the index page links direct to that page when they need to be linking to the CMPS page which is now the index.php page.

Any recommendations on working around this? I tried different setups and all of them had some type of problem.

How can I use vBa CMPS in the same folder as my forums?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. I use my forums in the root directory, how can i also use vBadvanced?

A.
Step 1
Rename vB's default index.php to forums.php or forum.php or ANYTHING.php

Step 2
Login to your Admin CP and go to vBulletin Options > Forums Home Page Options > Script Name for Forum Home Page
Change this to match what you called your default vBulletin index file. Do not include the .php extension though as it's not nessary.
Save the options.

Step 3
Rename your cmps_index.php file to index.php.

do above directions and then try ....

admin cp > vBa CMPS > main options ... first line
(The full URL to the CMPS file.) change /cmps_index.php to /index.php

try that.. and double check step 2. if these fixes dont work im guessing that its with the way the code was written in the skin your using. i use complete paths for my links in header template for both my home page and forum page urls. not sure if that method is correct either but it works for me.

I made that change as well. I guess I could do that and then chage the couple of links in my header to point to the index file. That should work. Thanks

Actually that just creates a whole new world of problems. Do you know how I can change the homepage link in the navigation module?
