Forum Home Enhancements - Remove index.php from logo link

Remove index.php from logo link :

For better SEO we redirect all the similar addresses to one standard address . For example in my forum, all similar addresses like :

http*://forum.golzarion.com/ index.php
http*//www.forum.golzarion.com/index.php
...
all redirect to : http://forum.golzarion.com

but the link of logo still was :www. my site.com/index.php

What does this mode do ?

It removes " index.php" from logo link . Now when users click on logo the logo links them to the address of "www*.your site.com " with out any "index.php" on the link.

To remove " logo index.php " link :

go to header template ( admin cp =>Styles&Templates=>style manager=>all style option+>> header )

in header find :

$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]

and replace it with :

$vboptions[bburl]$session[sessionurl_q]

then save the changes. and refresh your forum pages and see logo link without " index.php "

Please click installed if you use this mode . thanks

For more information see Post#4 .

I have a custom theme and have this line:

			<form action="$vboptions[forumhome].php" method="get" onsubmit="return this.gotopage()" id="pagenav_form">

in header, how can i edit this to do your hack?

not there?

Sorry , but this question doesn't relate to this topic.You can ask on community forum....
But the logo picture stored on "images/misc" directory by default ... you can change the logo and upload with the custom size. Although you can write the custom code on header template and Determine the logo size exactly .

for example :

<a href="http://forum.golzarion.com/">
<img border="1" src="http://forum.golzarion.com/images/Naghsh/misc/logo1.jpg" width="935" height="110">
</a>

Of course change the links with your own site .

So it is not vBulletin default template ... Would you please put your complete "header template" codes here ?

This "index.php" in the logo also annoyed the crap out of me. Thanks, installed! It should be standard, I agree.

This is good for SEO because Google gives PR separately to forum.example.com and forum.example.com/index.php:

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/ - PR6

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/index.php - PR5

But how should I change this if I have vBAdvanced on my homepage and vBSEO installed?

TIA

Hi,

I'm using v3.8.1. I made the change but I still need to link including the 'index.php' suffix. Any ideas? I get the default Appache Test page without it.

Many thanks,

Alun

It surly relate to your server config... And do not forget to restart appache if you change the settings.
But no other idea. It works perfect on 2 of my forums.
