MyBB Community Forums - ProPortal Help

Hey guys,

So I have installed the the ProPortal mod to my new forums, and I would like to make http://myforums.com/portal.php act as a homepage, so that when users visit http://myforums.com/ the portal shows up and not the forums.

Not too long ago I followed this guide and it seemed to do the trick at first but later I noticed a few things were screwed up.

If anyone has any advice on how to pull this off, it would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Install this: http://mods.mybb.com/view/portal-redirect-for-1-6

This'll redirect your users to portal when they arrive each day.

Thank you very much once again, very helpful. (:

You're welcome =)

This may seem like a ridiculous question, but how do I access my actual forums now? Like what would the URL be to view all of my boards.

Everything seems to redirect straight to the portal now, which is suppose to happen, but I can't seem to get to my forums.

Other than that, works like a charm. (:

http://yourdomain.com/index.php , You may add your index's URL in header template too, like this;

<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="images/toplinks/homepage.gif">Forums</a>

Just Upload homepage.gif image in ./images/toplinks/ folder. It will be recommended size 16x16px though.

That's a brilliant code and works perfectly, but still, when I visit http://mydomain.com/index.php it redirects to the portal and I still can't seem to access the actual boards themselves. Same with the new button in the header.

I guess its a bug in the plugin then. I'll try to take a quick look over the plugin.

Edit: Its not a bug in the plugin, just checked. ACP > Configurations > Portal Redirect (DennisTT) > and add 1200 in "Timeout" option field.
