The CMPS can be installed in any folder you would like. It can also be set to use whatever style the user has selected, or you can force any page to use a specific style which you select.

yes but in the readme_vba_cmps.html file it says

Upload the new vBadvanced CMPS files and your modified vBulletin files to the directories listed below.

root folder - cmps_index.php (you will probably rename this file to index.php once everything is set up)
root/forums - global.php
root/forums/admincp - index.php, vbacmps_install.php, vba_cmps_admin.php
root/forums/includes - functions_calendar.php, functions.php, adminfunctions_template.php, vba_cmps_include_top.php, vba_cmps_include_bottom.php
root/forums/images/misc - noavatar.gif
root/forums/modules - Upload this folder and all of it's contents


so it says i have to upload in root? what do i do if i want to upload it to www.site.com/portal/ (and forums will be located at www.site.com/forums/ )

Then you upload the file to your /portal/ directory instead.

Because of that you can really put the CMPS_INDEX.PHP to just about anywhere you want on your domain. Putting it in the root folder is just the most common method since most people use the CMPS as their main page.

if I put mine in the root folder, I get broken image links. If I have it in the forums folder, all works well. Bizarre

shouldn't the CMPS append the forum path stated in CMPS_index.php in front of the image links?

i've edited all the smiley paths (and I had a few, took a bit). I've also edited the icon paths. The icons are still missing. If I take the path I entered under admin CP -> Post Icon Manager _> Edit and place in a new browser, it shows up fine. However, the CMPS_index.php still shows an incorrect path.

Ideas?

EDIT: Got it.
