i posted this 3 days ago at vB.com and nobody answered. so i decided to ask here also. while i was playing with my admin panel (in localhost) i tried the "search and replace" function. i replaced index.php with forums.php and reindexed all data. i also changed the following files:
- forumdisplay.php
- global.php
- member.php
- online.php
- register.php
- admin\index.php
- mod\index.php
to match the new file name.
when i went to the main page, the changes were not done.
after that, i went again in the admin panel and did a simple search for "index.php", in templates. no changes were made.
this was experienced on a vBulletin v2.2.5 clean install with no hacks or database mods. i personally think that almost nobody uses the function "search and replace" and that's why this bug was not detected.
please let me know if it is a local issue, or a bug. thanks.
NOTE: to fix this issue, i simply opened vbulletin.style and replaced all "index.php" strings, with a text editor.. to "forums.php". then i ran the step 6 from install.php.
