Quote:What I've managed to do
I've finally found the rules i need to have in my .htacces files in order to write
http://agentc0re.com/agentc0re/forum/* to
http://agentc0re.com/Forum/* It's great and all but doesn't quite work.
Visually it works, mechanically it doesn't. For example, when I login and it redirects me back the index or portal page, it's as if i never logged in. BUT if i browse to the non rewritten form, I am indeed logged in.
Quote:Magic rewrite rules that did it all
#### Forum Rewrite Rules ####
RewriteRule ^Forum/(.*)$ /agentc0re/forum/$1 [L]
RedirectMatch 302 ^agentc0re/forum/(.*)$ http://agentc0re.com/Forum/$1
These rules are place one level below for forum directory. Although it doesn't matter if they are here or there. Same thing happens.
Also here is my directory structure.
public_html
agentc0re
forum
blog
etc..
other domains
Quote:One last weird issue
So when you first visit my site at
http://agentc0re.com/Forum and then hover over the category/forum links, you will notice that only those two lack the "/Forum/" in between them. I have no clue why.
Let me know if i need to provide you with further information.
Thanks!

Update the
Cookie Path (
Site Details) to reflect the resulting path (
/forum/).

They seem to be relative, so you would need to add another rule to redirect from
/forum to
/forum/ (forcing the trailing slash).
Thank so much, it was the cookie path indeed for that issue. It works perfectly now.
The rewrites for those two odd paths, well im either rewriting them improperlly or it's some other under lying issue.
I tried:
RedirectMatch 302 ^Forum/?$ /Forum/$1
&
RewriteRule ^Forum/?$ /Forum/ [L]
Mind you not at the same time, but it were the rules i tried one at a time.
Update
RedirectMatch 302 ^/Forum$ http://agentc0re.com/Forum/
I've also tried that. It doesn't work either.

Do you have any other content in the same

And then everything in /agentc0re/forum is pretty much commented out. I am not doing any SEO rules until i figure this out.
If anything doesn't make sense, let me know & i'll try to make sense of it.

Change
RewriteRule ^Forum/?$ /index.php?page=forum/index [L]
to
RewriteRule ^Forum/$ /index.php?page=forum/index [L]
in the second file; that will allow consecutive rules matching
/Forum (without trailing slash) to be parsed as well (
[L] is preventing that).
Next, try the redirection again:
RedirectMatch 302 ^/Forum$ /Forum/
So turns out the last issue is a theme issue. I have to go through and mark certain areas to be '/Forum/whatever.php' instead of their default 'whatever.php'
Im learning a lot about mybb, thats for sure.
Question about that. Should I use '/Forum/whatever.php' or should i use '{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/whatever.php' ?
Both accomplish the same but is there a resource difference or maybe just proper way to do it one way or the other?
It's recommended to use the variable so that when the forum's address changes it doesn't need to be replaced in templates.

When i remove the ? from the RewriteRule then i get a 404 for the site.
Also about the "{$mybb->settings['bburl']}" in templates makes more sense when you put it that way. Thank you very much for your help!

If you hard code like this: /Forum/whatever.php
and then change the setting {$mybb->settings['bburl']} in admin, you're going to notice a problem, and then have to look for all your hard coded links. That would be my reason for not using /Forum/whatever.php
