Forums link keeps going to home page.

[Ann Marie]

Yes I've checked the urls again and again. I've checked the cmps files too.

Now. When I click to the forums I wind up back on the home page. Does anyone have a fix for this. TIA.

All of it.

Did you want the URL to the site?

[Brian]

Yes, please.

From what I can tell, it looks like you've overwritten your vB index.php file with something else. Try downloading vB again and upload the index.php file to your forums folder on your server and see if that helps. If not, go to your Admin CP settings and try changing the 'Script Name for Forum Home Page' setting (under 'Forums Home Page Options') to 'forum'.

[Ann Marie]

Thanks! That fixed it but the headers are still messed up.

[Brian]

Looks like some type of an issue with your style or another plugin. (perhaps some type of mobile style plugins?)

[Ann Marie]

Disabled them and it's still doing it. TIA.

I'm currently assessing a clean installation of vB4.0.3 plus vBa CMPS v4.0.0 and I ran into the same problem. I've solved it but I think it may depend on your installation paths whether my solution will work for you. For what it's worth here's what I did along with my installation paths which I think are very relevant.

vB installation path: /public_html/forum
vBa CMPS installation path: /public_html/forum (same path)
cmps_index.php (renamed to index.php) installation path: /public_html

To solve the problem I took the following steps:

1. Delete the vBulletin index.php file from /public_html/forum

2. From the Admin CP check the follow is set to 'forum' (no quotes).
Settings > Options > Forums Home Page Options > Script Name for Forum Home Page

3. From the Admin CP check the follow is set to '/index.php' (no quotes, note the preceding forward slash)
vBa CMPS > Default Settings > Main Options > CMPS URL

Please note that I am completely new to vBa CMPS and this fix is very dependent on how you have chosen to install vBa CMPS but if you have the same structure as me I think it should work.

Ann Marie - Something on your server is altering the output of your pages and replacing the '&' sign with '&' and that's what's breaking your CSS. I'm not quite sure what hack that would be from, but it's not the CMPS causing the issue.

Where would I replace that? TIA.

Thanks! Got it working using another method though.

I just updated the VB software to 4.0.3 PL1. Now everything is fine!!!!

Thanks to everyone who tried to help!!

maybe i am wrong, but when i install vba i alway replace the vb index page with the vba_cpms index page, is that why my mobile style wont work when i have left colums intergated on forum.php, it means that if i unintergrate forum.php or any of the other intergrated pages, when viewing on the default template i have no left colunm in that style.

surely thats not how its suposed to work
any help would be great
