[ABD] Frontpage and folders

[JobKnockey]

Is there a way to have this run from the root folder, so that frontpage appears first, but still have the forums installed in the root also?

I don't want the page to be called on demand, I want it to show up first, before people visit the forums (which are in the root).

[Mick]

Try this:

Add in .htaccess in your root

DirectoryIndex yourpage.php index.php index.html index.htm

and your server will first serve yourpage.php

From here

Make backups of any files before you edit them!

[JobKnockey]

This will work with this mod?

[JobKnockey]

If it does, I am still not sure how to applu it...

The MOD requires you edit index.php, so the 'yourpage.php' that the other thread refers to would be 'index.php', thus the problem remains?

[Mick]

I don't see any reason why the edit to .htaccess won't work with this mod. When you browse to your URL it should pick up the first file (yourpage.php) in the list, once you move away from that file (maybe you have a button that directs to your site in that file?) the board should work as normal.

DirectoryIndex

But index.php is edited using this MOD, so index.php refers to this MOD. phpbb front page no longer shows up, with the list of forums...

[JobKnockey]

So?

[DoYouSpeakWak]

But index.php is edited using this MOD, so index.php refers to this MOD. phpbb front page no longer shows up, with the list of forums...

If you allready had a index.php and want to keep it make sure you know what your doing when taking parts out of the existing index.php file for this mod and putting them in your own file. I dont recommend doing so, its better to start with the index.php file that comes with this mod and add your stuff, everytime you change something check this mod is working.

Updated to 0.0.4

No file edits, just overwrite existing files. If you got custom stuff in them use winmerge or take copies of old files and add custom work to new files.

Based on the code below, how do I get the front page to display first and then the forum, when the forum is in the root folder?

you can splice it into your forum index.php. But remember the mod is not made to work like that. Its very easy for you to move your forum from root to a directory called forum, Do all the edits and your done.

But if you choose to have stuff from this mod displeyed anywere else, take a look at the templates and the index.php files and do your thing.

News:
0.0.5 will be out soonish, during this week hopefully. with a new jquery menu system.

[JobKnockey]

Surely there must be a way that you can easily integrate this into the index.php file for a forum in the root also? You are the programmer, not me! I would do it myself if I knew how.

I do appreciate the tremendous work which must have gone into this and the vast number of hours, don't get me wrong! Thank you for all your help.

[jsmoke222000]

Ok, maybe I'm missing something here. Please excuse this noob question..... I currently have my board setup as www.mysite.com/forum/ How do I apply this mod?

[jsmoke222000]

Never mind! I figured it out!

FYI, there is a misprint in the install instructions:

Code: Select all

Open: styles/prosilver/templates/overall_header.html

Should be:

Code: Select all

Open: styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html

Remove the "s" behind template. Thanks for the awesome mod! ACP features will make this even better!

[jsmoke222000]

You should also include the following in the DIY instructions:

Code: Select all

Purge cache and refresh your style template & theme

Im glad to hear it works for you. I will change the two things in install.xml asap.
