For those who want this to display on all pages within vBulletin and not just on the htm/html pages included with the download. Many of you have asked how to do this as template changes seem to cause issues with page loading. These instructions will teach you how to create a redirect to the htm/html file with the player, which in turn will load your forum but will still keep everything running smooth and at your default url.
1. Follow all original instructions to get the mod working.
1. Go into your admincp and then vBulletin options, "Forums Home Page Options".
2. Change "Script Name for Forum Home Page" to "index2.php".
3. You now need to go to your FTP app and into your root directory (yoursite/index.php).
4. Change your "index.php" file to "index2.php".
5. Open your favorite text editor and you are now going to create a new "index.php" file with the code inserted below (sub out your site where it says):
PHP Code:
<?php
header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/index.htm' ) ;
?>
6. Save the new "index.php" file and upload to your root forum directory (same one as above).
7. Open the "index.htm" in your root directory.
Find:
PHP Code:
<frame src="./index.php?" name="main" frameborder="0" noresize>
Change to:
PHP Code:
<frame src="./index2.php?" name="main" frameborder="0" noresize>
8. You're done so simply go to your main url and everything should be working!
Note: If you used the html version of index in the archive simply change all above "index.htm" to "index.html".
If you have any other questions feel free to pm or post and I'll give it my best shot.
