Changing The Forum Index Page URL?

[dcristo]

I finally got around to converting my Pocket Bike Forum (http://www.pocket-bike-racing.com.au/forum/) to the latest vB release. After a few hiccups with impex I finally got there, and gotta say boy am I glad I did the conversion! I really regret not just forking out the cash and starting with vB straight off.

I have already implemented some of the ideas mentioned on this site (cheers for sharing some great info). One thing which I really want to do in addition to this, is to modify the way I link to the forum index page URL (as a way of keeping the same link format thoughout my whole site) As you all know the default for this is like so /forum/index.php

How do you go about modifying this so you link to the base forum URL (/forum/) in the header image link and mainpage navigation text links?

Welcome dcristo!

Do you have a specific link your referring to? The link is actually handled in several places, including the footer, header and navbar/breadcrumb. You can make the change in all these templates.

Well I'm basically looking to change the link format for all references to /forum/index.php

Thanks!

To give a specific example... in the header template I have the code:



<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>


What code do I modify here to change the website header link format?

[Joeychgo]

Try This





<a href="YOUR-FORUM-URL$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>

I've made a post regarding this matter over here (http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3814#post3814). Whereby you can automatically rewrite every single instance of ./index.php and ./index.php? with ./ without the hassle of template edits. :)
