why did you rename your portal file to index.php if you could have just added the following line to your htaccess?
DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php index.html
that said, it's quite easy to make it read cookies from the /forum directory: just go to the ACP under general settings->cookie path and set that to your forum directory (usually it should be left as / because / is symbolic for your current forum directory.).
but if you wanted the script itself to read the cookies under that folder you'd've been better off using MKPortal.
Hmm, you'd want it to read cookies there, no?, then edit the cookie settings to read from .xewnet.com cookie path /, since forums is under /, it'll read properly methinks.
WAIT, it seems that the main portal is trying to access
http://www.xewnet.com/member.php, which doesn't exist, you'll have to edit the file so it goes to
http://www.xewnet.com/forum/member.php
LOL how do i change?
Or can you help me do it?
edit the member_login template on line 11
change
<form action="member.php" method="post">
to
<form action="http://www.xewnet.com/forum/member.php" method="post">
have you edited the templates?
Yes i've edited the templates
With the default MyBB setup, you can't do this. The two files must be in the same directory, due to the cookie setup. You could always transfer the /forum directory to the website root.
