Forum to portal?

[Jake Bunce]

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.

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.

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
