vBAdvance as HomePage

[ProXie]

I would like to make the CMPS the homepage of my site but I would also like there to be a page for the forums. My old site had index.php as the CMPS and forums.php as only the forums. I forgot how to do that though.

Thanks,
Max

Well, rename cmps_index.php to index.php, and rename the current index.php to forums.php

then

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Forum Home Options > Index Name > change this from INDEX to FORUMS and save

Thank you very much!

If I currently have this:

domain.com/forums/index.php (vBadvanced page)
domain.com/forums/forums.php (forums)

How would I make it so that I had this:

domain.com/index.php (vBadvanced page) <- vBA index as index of root
domain.com/forums/forums.php (forums) <- forums index still in the /forums directory? could maybe change to "index.php" here...?

and have my paths to images, etc. be correct?

Just move the index.php file into your root directory.

Just move the index.php file into your root directory.
I did that, but then all of my image links are broken and the links to the /forums directory are broken as well.. how do I fix the links?

When I move the index.php (for vBA) to my root, my link on the vBA page to my forums should be:

http://www.domain.org/forums/forums.php (the true location of the forum index)

but shows up as

http://www.domain.org/forums.php (not pointing to the /forums directory)

:confused:

Update your image paths (as instructed in the readme file).

ok. but the hyperlinks are still broken.

I moved the vBA index.php from

/forums/index.php

to

/index.php

now, all of my hyperlinks to the forums show up as

/forums.php

instead of

/forums/forums.php <- the real path to the vB files.

Is there something else I need to configure to fix the hyperlinks?

Make sure your 'Forum URL' option in your main vBulletin options is set correctly.
