If I move my entire forum into a new folder but still on the same server will my data posts and threads still be intact?
eg at the moment say it's on
www.myforum.com
and I want it all in
www.myforum.com/forum
will everything and my links still be ok?
Thanks!
i have done it, without problem before, and i didn't have no problem.
You will only have to edit the settings.php , change the board url setting
$settings['bburl'] = "http://ursite.com/forum";
and also make sure to update the cookie settings
Excellent! Thanks!
I want to create a front page for it with an enter page so everyone will still have the original link but when they hit the "enter" button it takes them to the /forum folder.
The only thing you have to do is to edit the board url and the cookie settings in your configuration.
You will have to go through all the posts updating url and img tags which point to the old location. You will also have to check the styles for all your themes to make sure there are no URLs pointing to the old place.
