I got it installed but getting this issues

http://www.xleagues.net/index.php

I have installed the portal.php file in the root of my site and the forum of course is in the forum folder. During setup it was sort of implied to do this... Now I'm having issues getting the navigation links to work.

They're missing the /forum/ in the code. I figured out how to update the image links by just putting the /forum/ infront of the image url's. but can't seem to figure out where the Nav bar information is stored?

Any clues for a newbie?

Thanks
Matthew

mjname is right, my links in the navbar arn't working either, I also installed a few plugin's and the stats one is giving me a database error, not sure why.

Think I am going to look at this at the weekend

I have this installed outside of the forums, in the root dir

IF YOU'RE INSTALLING OUTSIDE OF THE FORUM DIRECTORY?

You may have to edit these files in Templates. Header, Navbar, footer and if your forum is in a directory called forum then you need to put this into the code, '/forum/'. Don't put in the 'quote'. I did a search .php through out these pages here are some examples.

First I went to Styles & Templates>Styles Manager>Edit Templates

I edited these files Footer, Header, & Navigation & Breadcrumb Templates> Navbar

In these files I did a search for .php and found code that looked like this
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">
and I added the '/forum/' to it so it looked like this.
a href="/forum/$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">

I also found code that looked like this:
<form action="login.php?do=login" and changed it to
<form action="/forum/login.php?do=login"

The beginning slash lets the server know that / is the reference to the root directory of the site regardless of the domain name. I'm hosted on NT I think so don't knwo if this is the case with Unix or Linux but can't image it not being.

I've clicked around a bit and it seems to have corrected my proplems.

I hope this helps, and I think this needs to be edited to some degree and included in the install file. I'm new to vBulletin and didn't even know what editing a template from the admincp was possible. I just bought it because it was pretty. I like pretty. :)

Also there needs to includded in the directions on how to edit the nav and block template modules, too. It might be obvious to the people who actually read the manual for vBulletin but it's really long and I haven't gotten to it yet.

Thanks
Matthew


/forum/

The best way to get navbar links working all the way though is to addto the start of all the links in there, including the forms for the login box and search box.

This is only needed if you have installed outseid the forum directory.

So what you are saying is it is easier to install if within the forums? Since there is no messing about

Thanks PetreSKa2
thats a better hack.

Found an issue, I have selected a forum in which I want the news to be displayed on my front page, but it is showing threads that are moderated (invisable to users) but they are showing up, even when I logged out they are still showing up, so that needs looking at.
