CMS main site should be the entry page
 

I have vbulleting suite (Forum and CMS) 4.0.1. installed and like to have the CMS main page as the entry page for my site.
Currently www.mymarketingforum.ch/forum is required to get to the page but the forum page will open instead of the CMS main page. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Go to Content Management in your AdminCP and check the settings

Thanks Cmangum
That helped.

Still not solved is the fact that I must type mymarketingforum.ch/forum to reach the site instead of only mymarketingforum.ch. That happen because I uploaded all the files on my webserver into mymarketingforum.ch/forum. But when I tried to upload all the files directly into mymarketingforum.ch the site wasn't reachable..... so I uploaded all again like before

Would be nice if someone can help me here, thanks

Hi,

I had this sort of issue, as in the past I had vbull sitting on mydomain.com/forums and in order to keep everything the same (I was really worried about inbound links) I installed 4.0.1 onto mydomain.com/forums which means the forum sits on mydomain.com/forums/forum and the front CMS on mydomain.com/forums.

You can put a redirect straight into .htaccess which means everyone landing on the site automatically is at mydomain.com/forums/ However, because I have lots of subdomains it did all sorts so I just put in an index.html on the root with a repoint in html to the forums front page (marginally slower but does the job).

In fact do just this, set up index.html on your root (ie yourdomain.com/index.html) and have this and only this code in it

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/index.php">

(It redirects the browser to where the forum index.php sits)

Hope this helps.... nb: see whats in an old index.html first though, in theory you shouldn't need one with the publisher package as the index page is the index.php file in 4.0.1

Hi Veneti
Tried your recommandations but didn't work....

I just tried your site and landed on the forum... using the method I mentioned it would also be possible to land directly on the forum itself and not the front of the CMS.

Anyway, looks like you are set...

Yes but the way I did was little different:
First I tried your method but then I uploaded all the files directly into the domaine, no extra foulder like forum or something else. Then I had to make sure that the appendix /forum was also deleted from the data file. Now it works, thanks for your help anyway:up::)!
