MyBB Community Forums

Hello , i want to setup mybb as both forum and portal for my website

my Site Structure will be like these

www.mysite.com (should open mybb portal)
www.forums.mysite.com ( should open mybb forum)
www.gallery.mysite.com (should open tiny web gallery )


can you tell me how can i set this thing up ,

also is there any free gallery that integrates well with mybb ? as there is not gallery system in mybb 1.4

You will have to install the forums under http:/mysite.com/forums and make a subdomain for it that will make it http://forums.mysite.com. If you do not know how to install MyBB read there wiki: http://wiki.mybboard.net/index.php/Installing

I bet there is some MyBB plugin for a gallery But I would suggest you to install http://www.pixelpost.org/ under http://mysite.com/gallery and again make a subdomain for that making it http://gallery.mysite.com.

If you are having trouble or don't know how to install software, make subdomains, etc I could do it for a small price .

Yeah, install the forums as explained above, then copy the portal.php file to the root folder, and edit the line near the top about the path to the forum, and it'll work outside the main directory.

can you tell me what changes are to be made to get the portal.php file working outsite the main directory

Change line 17 to:

$forumdir = "./forums";

Assuming the forum is in a folder called forums...
