Custom Pages Running from subfolder?

[John3971]

How can i have my custom modification php file run from another folder? i can´t get it to show anything if i have it in another subfolder in my forum root.

Inside the php file, you must point to the global.php file which should show up as ../global.php rather than ./global.php or just global.php. You must point to it seeing as how its not in the main dir.

Also, you may need to correct the chdir aswell, although that should be accurate already.

Do not use links to other folders in including global.php. Always change the directory to the folder with global.php before including it, not doing so will break the includes.

He means change the directory (chdir) and then include the global.php file. Like this:

chdir('/home/yoursite/public_html/forums');
require_once('./global.php');

Not like this:

require_once('../global.php');

This: chdir('/home/yoursite/public_html/forums'); i don´t wanna have to edit it in the php file so how can i fix so i put the path in vboption and then it writes there.

To access vBulletin options, you need to include global.php, to include global.php, you need to set a proper directory.
