How do I display Articles on my home page

[XPSuedoX]

Hi,

I would like to display my articles on my Home page of the site.

I have added the Search module in add tried it that way but it just shows the content like a list not like the full opened article.

I would like the articles to show up on the home page like this -----> http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/articles

Can anyone help me with this:confused:

You mean the layout?

In vB5 this is done by renaming of page URLs.

Your current home page is named blank...that is to say "/".

You need to edit that, and rename it to something else, such as "/boards" (don't use "/forum" as that is already in use).

Then rename the articles page from "/articles" to "/".

You do this by editing the page in Site Builder and saving it with no changes, then as you save it, you will get an option to change the page URL.

Ok I get what you mean I think :) but I have deleted my articles page long ago ...

Now I have ---------Home-------Forums---------

Is there a way to get back Articles page?

Run the upgrade script will reinstall it, but next time don't delete just disable it also when making a post try to put all info in the first post so the correct help can be given this way you can get the problem fixed faster

You can't delete the page, you've probably just deleted the tab it used.

Simply go to path.to.your.forum/articles, you'll see it's still there.

I'm having the same issue Mark.

It won't let me change the page URL in the site builder.

Any help?

I did exactly what you said and it won't allow me to change the page url at all.

The problem is with the page saving when I change the url. I get a mySQL error.

I tried this and here's what I get:
I land on ARTICLES page when I enter my site URL, but still on the navbar the "FORUMS" tab is marked (as if I'm on the forums page).
When I click either on the ARTICLES or on FORUMS tab on the navbar, I always get to articles page.
I can only get to "forums" page if I manually enter www.mysite.com/board (this is what I renamed the forums URL to).
Am I missing something?

Update:
After editing the navigation bar URLs accordingly, everything works fine.
My homepage URL now leads to the articles page.
