The things is that from the screenshot of the navbar template you posted above I didn''t see any link for the Home tab. And I am not familiar with vb''s cms as I don''t use it. Let's'hope that someone who knows vb''s cms will see this thread and help you out further.

BUMP...

still cant figure it out.. damn thing is so frustrating.

Just so we are clear. When on the forum main page ( http://www.aepautomotive.com/forums/forum.php ) and you desire to go back to the portal, you click on the home tab... which takes you here ( http://www.aepautomotive.com/forums/content.php ) and all I would love to do is change that to http://www.aepautomotive.com/ thats it.. why is that so hard ???? SO im lost, im debating on even downgrading the forums.. back to 3.8 if i cant fix this issue..

I just figured it out after digging around a bit more, and I must say wow! The answer was hidden in a place I would've never guessed:

Admincp -> Settings -> Options -> Content Management -> "Site Tab URL"

Just change it to http://www.mysite.com/ and it's done!

And enter the url to your portal inside the href attribute. Hope it helps.

This NOT the code you need

This is code specifically refers generating the tab code for the Forums tab.

I have had a breakthrough with this and no one else seems willing to help you out. I found out that any link to the CMS home page would need to be like this

href="{vb:raw vboptions.site_tab_url}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}"

and more importantly that the code that is run somewhere before the navbar is generated for all the other tabs is found in the template vbcms_navbar_link!

For the life of me I cannot work out why!!

but here is the code

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'vbcms'">
<li class="selected">
	<vb:if condition="$vboptions['vbcms_url']">
		<a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.vbcms_url}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase site}</a>
	<vb:else />
		<a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.site_tab_url}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase site}</a>
	</vb:if>
	<ul class="floatcontainer">
		{vb:raw template_hook.vbcms_navbar_start}
		<vb:if condition="$links">
			<vb:each from="links" value="link">
				<li><a href="{vb:raw link.url}">{vb:raw link.title}</a></li>
			</vb:each>
		<vb:else />
			<li class="hidden">&nbsp;</li>
		</vb:if>
		{vb:raw template_hook.vbcms_navbar_end}
	</ul>
</li>
<vb:else />
	<li>
	<vb:if condition="$vboptions['vbcms_url']">
		<a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.vbcms_url}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase site}</a>
	<vb:else />
		<a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.site_tab_url}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase site}</a>
	</vb:if>
	</li>
</vb:if>

Look at the VB code in bold. That is where the words for HOME is being pulled from. You can search in phrases to edit that, or you can simply add your own phrase and replace the "site" phrase variable with that! Hope this helps!

I have tested with making my own phrase and it works! Good luck!
