Replacing the index.php?

[michaelsilvia]

Oh, guys I have everythign working EXCEPT my forums disappears. When you make the CMPS_index.php your index.php, what do you do with your old index.php? (which is your main forum). Does it become a module?

I did all this and still nothing.

Q. I use my forums in the root directory, how can i also use vBadvanced?

A.
Step 1
Rename vB's default index.php to forums.php or forum.php or ANYTHING.php

Step 2
Login to your Admin CP and go to vBulletin Options > Forums Home Page Options > Script Name for Forum Home Page
Change this to match what you called your default vBulletin index file. Do not include the .php extension though as it's not nessary.
Save the options.

Step 3
You may now comment out or remove the chdir line in your cmps_index.php file as it's no longer nessary. Rename the file to index.php, upload it to your server, and you're done.

Looks like I am missing this step maybe:

If you change this value you must manually rename the forumhome PHP script to match the new value.

Maybe better to have a read on vbadvanced.com but it is exactly as it is written above.

1 - rename your current index.php to forum.php or whatever you want.
2 - rename cmps_index.php to index.php.
3 - complete step 2 as it written by using your renamed forum.php as forum file.

You should have already removed the comment line for url in cmps_index.php before uploading.

That's it.......when you go to http://yoururl/index.php it will bring up the vbadvanced page. Don't forget to add a link for forum & portal/home in navbar and that's it..:)
