Forum to portal?

[MindTrix]

Hello

I have a forum at


site.com/forums/index.php

and lets say the portal is

site.com/portal.php


Now lets say most members have bookmarked the forum link, so whenever they go to the link, they go straight to the forum.

Is there a way of changing it so that they go straight to the portal?

I was thinking maybe changing the url to

site.com/forum/index.php (notice no s) and then having a redirect script, to take them straight to the portal.


I know this sounds confusing but anyhelp would be appreciated

You can change the name of your forum index file and then inform vBulletin of the change in your:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Forums Home Page Options -> Script Name for Forum Home Page

Then in place of your old index file you can upload a PHP file containing this code:

<?php

Header("Location:http://www.site.com/portal.php");

?>

This will redirect the old forum link to your portal.

Seems to be working ok now Thank you

Any idea how to make the online.php not say the portal is an unknown location?

That would require modifying the files. For help with that I recommend you post on www.vbulletin.org , the official vB hacking site.
