What was done to try to solve the problem?

De.scription and Message

I have tried the following methods to redirect my default page to portal.php

I placed both of these in "index.html" files and uploaded them into my root directory.

1.

<html>
<head>
<title>index</title>
<META>
</head>
</html>

2.

<DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
<title>redirect to MYSITE</title>
<meta>
</head>
</html>

And yes, I changed "YOUR URL" to mine. <img>

Still not working, any suggestion? It keeps getting directed to my forum page..

Try this...

Code: Select all: <DOCTYPE> <HTML><HEAD><META></HEAD><BODY></BODY></HTML>

I tried that and still no love...

<DOCTYPE>

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Do I need to edit anything on this?

If you've changed the URL, then no. It's not working for me on my test board, but I'm running a windows box and don't know how to set htaccess style stuff in windows.

Try this

and BACKUP all files you edit...

Open:
includes/page_header.php

Find:

Code: Select all: 'U_INDEX' => append_sid('index.'.$phpEx),

Replace With]

Code: Select all: 'U_INDEX' => append_sid('portal.'.$phpEx),

[b]Find]

Code: Select all: 'U_PORTAL' => append_sid('portal.'.$phpEx),

[b]Replace With]

Code: Select all: 'U_PORTAL' => append_sid('index.'.$phpEx),

[b]Open]
index.php

[b]Find:

Code: Select all: 'U_VIEWCAT' => append_sid("index.$phpEx?" . POST_CAT_URL . "=$cat_id"))

Replace With]

Code: Select all: 'U_VIEWCAT' => append_sid("portal.$phpEx?" . POST_CAT_URL . "=$cat_id"))

[b]Rename]
index.php to portal.php

[b]Rename:
portal.php to index.php

This redirect works but you have to visit your site by going to http://www.your-domain/index.html otherwise it still goes to index.php

Yeah Im trying to avoid having to have people type in the /index.html

Ill try his idea

Or if you have a htaccess file you could try this..

Code: Select all: DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php index.html

That way it should load in that order... I think.. lol

Hey Frost, your way worked. Thanks man.

Author: **SquidHC** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 9:12 pm

Now when I hit "Home" on my Board Navigation it takes me to my forums haha.

Author: **Frost** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 9:16 pm

lol, i didn't think of that. Just change the links in overall_header.tpl or through ACP with qbar/qmenu whatever

or...

replace backed up files and try the htaccess method

If you were going to try this, you could "copy" the files with the edits you did, so in case the htaccess didnt work you wouldnt have to do the edits again...

Could you tell me what file to find overall_header.tpl in? Or possibly a .script line to look for.

No need to edit overall headder use ACP - General - Qbar and edit the links there that way it will work for all templates

Author: **Frost** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 9:38 pm

gffb is right, changing through ACP is better, I'm just code happy <img>
