Yes, I did about 9 BBs last year. I havent done one in 6 months so I need a refresher. I put MYBB into a directory called forum. Now when you type in www.talkingtimeshare.com you get a default godaddy page, but when you put in /forum, you get the site. Now I know that I can just move all of the files under the home directory, but I remember having another page that you could put there where you could put calenders and sidebars, etc. Im having a major brain block. Can anyone help me out on this??
You should be able to setup a redirect in your host control panel to make / redirect to /forum/, that's what I do. Either that, or make a file called index.php in the / directory and make it automatically redirect to /forum/
Is it the portal you're talking about?
Add this code in the index page:
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=http://website.com/forum/">
I didn't read that bit... yeah that's the portal and that'll be in the /forum/ folder too, if it isn't, it wouldn't work properly anyway, needs to be where everything else is.
Click on www.talkingtimeshare.com. I dont remember the portal looking like the front page I have now. I had news scrolling down the side, video in the center, etc. I dont know what the heck I am forgetting, lol.
You can't have MyBB files in 2 different directories really... either you had everything in the / folder before or you had something else there.
Ok, maybe I am asking this the wrong way. I know that I can always forward the .com to .com/forum and make it work. I want it to look like www.hockey-fights.com and do something similar with the portal. I just need to know how to do that. Is that portal page an add on? I had one just like it. This is driving me nuts. I just forget how the heck I did this stuff. Smile
MyBB comes with portal.php but that'll be in the /forum/ folder with everything else. Maybe you had MkPortal or something like that...??
I see the portal.php file and yes, that is the portal that I had. How can I get the portal.php file to be my homepage under www.talkingtimeshare.com??? I want the url bar to only say www.talkingtimeshare.com and the portal page to be there when you type in the url.
