Ohh so it's a problem with your navbar then i.e. you replaced the urls's in some of your menu items but the changes are not reflecting in the webtemplate and causing an error?

no no no ... my menu links are fine

see this page bluelight.ru

their default landing page is home.php not index.php

how is this done

Well, after reading all 27 pages of this thread. I'm impressed with two thing.

1. the low number of problems (most of those seem to be complicated and above my level anyway LOL)

2. "Not supported" support seems to be better in this mod than most "supported" mods.

So I am going to download and try it out. I'm all excited over it, but won't marks installed until after testing on my testvb. When I install it on my live forum, I'll mark installed.

I am very impressed with the feedback in this thread in spite of Gladhatter's rude remarks when he doesn't even use it.

You will need to get rid of the index.html or rename it to something else (Rename to save the original).

index.php will replace your index.html, the browser looks for one of these files as the default page to present based on the servers preferences. Most servers have default settings about the order in which a default file is presented. typical order is:

index.html
index.php
default.html
default.php
home.html
home.php

So basically if you don't have a index.html, it will start looking for index.php instead and so on, down the list!

It is a very well made mod, the author is very nice and helps when he has time as I assume he is a busy man ;) ... this is one of my favorite mods released for vB :D

S-MAN

There's probably a better way (you could probably do it with an htaccess edit only) but what I'd do (if I couldn;t be bothered googling better way) is create a new php file as gymph said in post #393 and call it myhome.php and put it in your forum root

Next edit your .htaccess file in your forum root and add a line:
Now when someone visits your forum root (with out explicitly enterting a filename to access) it will defualt to myhome.php which redirects to whatever page you specified in the phpfile

OK, I googled - you shold be able to do this simpler. Assuming you don;t have an index.html in your forum root, simply add the following line to your htaccess

RewriteRule ^(index\.html)?$ view.php?pg=xxxxx[QSA,L]

Then when someone visits http://mysite.com your webserver will try and load up index.html which will be rewritten to view.php?pg=xxxxx (you swap xxxxx for the web template page identifier) and load up http://mysite.com/view.php?pg=xxxxx someone requesting http://mysite.com/index.php will still get that...

Is there some reason i cant change the background color..?
We have tested a few different types of HTML pages, but the background wont change.. it just stays white.

Any thoughts.?
