IF YOU'RE INSTALLING OUTSIDE OF THE FORUM DIRECTORY?

You may have to edit these files in Templates. Header, Navbar, footer and if your forum is in a directory called forum then you need to put this into the code, '/forum/'. Don't put in the 'quote'. I did a search .php through out these pages here are some examples.

First I went to Styles & Templates>Styles Manager>Edit Templates

I edited these files Footer, Header, & Navigation & Breadcrumb Templates> Navbar

In these files I did a search for .php and found code that looked like this
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">
and I added the '/forum/' to it so it looked like this.
a href="/forum/$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">

I also found code that looked like this:
<form action="login.php?do=login" and changed it to
<form action="/forum/login.php?do=login"

The beginning slash lets the server know that / is the reference to the root directory of the site regardless of the domain name. I'm hosted on NT I think so don't knwo if this is the case with Unix or Linux but can't image it not being.

I've clicked around a bit and it seems to have corrected my proplems.

I hope this helps, and I think this needs to be edited to some degree and included in the install file. I'm new to vBulletin and didn't even know what editing a template from the admincp was possible. I just bought it because it was pretty. I like pretty.

Also there needs to includded in the directions on how to edit the nav and block template modules, too. It might be obvious to the people who actually read the manual for vBulletin but it's really long and I haven't gotten to it yet.

Thanks
Matthew
