Help with file path on custom php page

[The Librarian]

I created a custom php page:

http://www.thehomeschoollibrary.com/...?page=shopping

And, according to the Edit Page: Shopping the file path is this:

/home/**edited**/public_html/shopping/index.php

But, there's incorrect info on the Edit Page. The homepage link points to: http://thehomeschoollibrary.com/index.php?page=home which should just be http://www.thehomeschoollibrary.com
and the forum page says http://thehomeschoollibrary.com/forum and should be http://www.thehomeschoollibrary.com/forum

Everything gets you to the right place, but it's a problem for some of my members because they get logged out, or think they get logged out, when they navigate the site sometimes.

SO, what I'd like to do is edit the shopping page to fix the links. BUT, when I try I get this message: (EVEN IF I DO NOTHING to the page)

The path you have specified for your PHP File path is not a valid file on your server. Please go back and enter the full path (NOT the URL) to this file.

I'd really like to save the page as just plain http://www.thehomeschoollibrary.com/shopping but I have no clue how to do that. How can I download the page so I can upload it to the proper place?

Before you ask, NO, I didn't upload anything from my computer to create this page originally. I did it all in the vBadv CMPS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're not using a PHP file with that page, just use the "Change Page Type" option at the top when you edit that page to change it to a module page instead.
As for the links with the missing 'www.', that's controlled by your CMPS URL setting under your main CMPS options.

Ok. Fixed both of those. Thanks!

Now... is there any way to change if from page=shopping to just /shopping ?

If you're familiar with .htaccess files then you could possibly create one of those to redirect people from /shopping to index.php?page=shopping.

DUH... totally didn't think of redirect.

I'm not at all familiar with .htaccess... nor am I familiar with htlm or css or anything for that matter... but I've fumbled my way through so far.

The redirect is easly handled through my cpanel at my host so I'll do it that way.

Thanks, Brian! I really appreciate your prompt replies to my questions. The people at vb.org need to learn something from you!
