MyBB Community Forums

oke now i have a problem
how do i do this
Rename the index.php to forum.php
i want to change /rootmybbdirectory/index.php to /rootmybbdirectory/forum.php
so to access forum index people will have to visit /rootmybbdirectory/forum.php

i need this because i want to install joomla in the same directory which has index.php and i want people to access joomla first and than mybb from forum.php

Just change it in FTP and make sure the path in your ACP is correct.

i know i could rename it using cpanel but won't i have to edit templates for that?
won't renaming the index file effect how it works?
OK i will manage to do it even by editing template thanks

You shouldn't have to... I think someone else changed the name of index.php and everything was fine.

In global.php, find:

$navbits = array();
$navbits[0]['name'] = $mybb->settings['bbname_orig'];
$navbits[0]['url'] = $mybb->settings['bburl']."/index.php";

Replace with:

$navbits = array();
$navbits[0]['name'] = $mybb->settings['bbname_orig'];
$navbits[0]['url'] = $mybb->settings['bburl']."/forums.php";

This is only if you want the root node of the navbits to point to the forums and not joomla.

thanks dennisTT for help
