May someone please guide me how to make a custom location of a page that I have in a custom subdirectory?

I tried this way, but it says I'm on Forum Index (and I'm not)

example:
site.com/forum/custom_directory/index.php

This is the exact same thing I am trying to do.

Is there no way to do it?

Sorry for the major revival, but what if I have a groups page where the url ends up being /forums/showgroup.php?gid=X. X is an integer corresponding to the groups unique id. Table name is mybb_socialgroups if that helps any. All members are able to create groups so I don't want to manually have to update the file anytime someone adds a group.

why wont this work for me all i am trying to do is add /chat.php to the online list i have added

Code:

case "chat":   //that's the custom page filename without the '.php'
            $user_activity['activity'] = "custom";
            break;

and

Code:

case "custom":
            $location_name = 'Chatting: ';
            break;

but it doesnt work

Are you sure you're adding these lines to the right place?

Could you please post the full source of your 'inc/functions_online.php' file?

Could you also give us your url?
