Can someone please help me!?

I have created a homepage using this mod. But now how do I make the homepage act as my my defauly homepage when someone goes to mysite.com. My VB is installed in the root... I tried domain forwarding and that didn't work. There must be a simple way to do this?

Hi, I need my front page to be at www.mtgdarkness.com and my forums to be at http://forums.mtgdarkness.com; can this CMS manage that? If so, how can I set that up?

@drew82 and MTGDarkness


make a clean index.php and put this code inside it. and upload it on your main domain..

ps.
ofcourse edit the red text except the "location: :D

br

gsmph

But that will just redirect, won't it?

yeah that worked, but now when I click my forum link it just reroutes it to my homepage

I still want to be able to view my forum overview?

can anyone help?

Edit your index.php or index.html and at the VERY top add:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yoursite.com/the rest of the url from WebTemplates etc">

Then save and that should redirect you, gsmph gave a more forum friendly php way of doing it but the lesser works just as good.

Edit the content="0 to 1 or 2 for seconds IF you want the redirect to take place after 1 or 2 seconds and so on... maybe change your original index into a loading or intro page... perhaps add a splash page etc.

S-MAN

that does the same exact thing

let me try to explain this another way

I want my custom homepage to come up when you go to mysite.com, but I still want access to the forum page

does anyone know how to do this

Well then you need to have your redirect via your hosting/cpanel/ whatever verified, it should work w/ the specified URL.

I think we have lost each other, sounds simple but take it one way and you go another route eh?

So here's what I have so far... (So we ALL can be clear & help you)

1. You created a custom page via WebTemplates
2. You want that custom page to be your new homepage
3. The custom page (I suspect you did it w/ a theme if not and it is in fact an Independent template then simply copy the contents and replace the contents in your original index file and no need for redirect) is not being redirected properly even when you apply a redirect via your hosting panel/cpanel etc.

Is that correct?

i don't want to replace the default homepage with my new custom homepage

after I made a custom homepage called *home I added it to my menu as well as added a menu item called *forums

but I want my landing page *home, but I want to keep access to the forums main page so my members can click *forums and see the overview

I though I can do this by redirecting my domain to www.mysite.com/view.php?pg=home

but this solution is not working
