My only issue is my banner image does not take you to my home page like it does everywhere else. It takes you to the groups home page.

And my forums link in my nav bar doesnt work. It tries to go to groups/index.php instead of just /index.php. Same thing with my chat and journal links in my nav bar.

Can you tell me what I need to edit to fix these links?
Thanks!!!!

I would love to be able to invite people using an email address which would then take them to a forum registration page. When they registered they would be part of that group and a new member. It would encourage new members and I have people who want invite people who are not yet registered like you can on Yahoo groups. Would this be impossible?

For your banner image, i would suggest editing the header template in your forums and suffixing the link with

PHP Code:

$vboptions[bburl]/ 


it is by far the easiest solution. though if i find one easier (a plugin) i'll be sure to release it as a plugin.

for your chat link and journal link, i suggest using a plugin to fix these as opposed to editing the files. in version 2.0.1 (to be released in about an hour). this has been simplified, so it's literally just a matter of making a new plugin, applying it to the grps_rewrite_links (plugin) and entering the following contents

PHP Code:

$find[] = 'chat.php';
$find[] = 'journal.php';
$replace[] = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/chat.php';
$replace[] = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/journal.php'; 


and that should sort that out for you. I would suggest the same treatment as in the previous paragraph for your link to your forums (in your navbar) as opposed to the plugin method.

That isn't currently an option, the invite system is all quite internal at the moment, though i will consider it for a future release.
