How do i make vbacmps default home page

[mariner1]

How do i make vbacmps default home page instead of the default cms page pls.
Cant understand the manual.
So when i click on home tab im wanting it to be the vba cmps page

[Dragonsys]

is the cmps_index.php file inside of your forums directory?

[mariner1]

yes its in root

[Dragonsys]

so based upon what you said above, it sounds like you have the Full vBulletin Publishing Suite, so you would need to do the following:

1. Delete the vBulletin index.php file from your server.
2. Rename your cmps_index.php file to index.php.
3. Login to your vBulletin Admin CP and go to vBulletin Options => Forums Home Page Options => Script Name for Forum Home Page. Change this setting to 'forum' (without the quotes) and save your settings.
4. Still in your Admin CP, navigate to vBa CMPS => Default Settings => Main Options => CMPS URL. Change this setting to "/index.php" (without the quotes).

Done that but must have done something wrong.When i click on home tab its still the standard cms page

You might need to use a plugin to change that. You can hide the CMS Home Tab, and then turn on CMPS's home tab. Try this below:


Hide the Default Home Tab:
1. AdminCp -> Plugins & Products -> Add New Plugin
2. Fill in the following info (screenshot attached):

A. Product = vBulletin
B. Hook Location = process_templates_complete
C. Title = Whatever you want (I use hide_tabs)
D. Execution Order = 5
E. Plugin PHP Code =

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace('><a class="navtab" href="content.php',' style="display:none"><a class="navtab" href="search.php',$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']); 


F. Plugin is Active = Yes

3. Save

Turn on CMPS' Home Tab:
1. AdminCp -> vBa CMPS -> Default Settings -> Style Options
2. Enable Navbar = Yes
3. Save


Note: I do not have the full vB Suite, so I cannot test hiding the Home Tab, but this should work.

Didnt work im afraid,but thank you for trying to help me

[Dragonsys]

I had missed a part in this code for the CMS. Try this code for the plugin:

E. Plugin PHP Code =

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace('><a class="navtab" href="content.php',' style="display:none"><a class="navtab" href="content.php',$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']); 


[mariner1]

still no luck im afraid

[Dragonsys]

hmmm. Brian might need to answer here then, as I am not sure what else to check.

[Dragonsys]

Ok, I looked at a vB Suite site, and I think I see the issue. Try the code below:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace('>
    
        <a class="navtab" href="content.php',' style="display:none"><a class="navtab" href="content.php',$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']); 


There is a bunch of whitespace in the Home Tab on vB Suite sites...

[mariner1]

Uk mu URL is http://www.mysite.co.uk/content.php when i click the home tab.Its still the default cms page,its not vbacmps.

If i type http://www.mysite.co.uk/index.php its brings up the vbacmps.

Im wanting to click on the home tabe to get the vbacmps so do i not replace the content.php

[Dragonsys]

I know.
I did not mention replacing the content.php file itself.

Are you sure you enabled that plugin?

[mariner1]

yep its enabled
