You can disable the CMS if you arent using it

[your24hourstore]

admincp in plugin manager just disable it

Or, open up the index.php and read the instructions on how to redirect to forum.php instead of content.php

lynne,

I tried to upside down the content.php and forum.php .. but it dosen't works .. i know it might not be the correct way to do it ..

what part of index.php do i need to edit .. i want to use HOME tab but people login to site should go directly to forum.php .. not content.php ..

can you provide the details for it .

PHP Code:

/**

 * line to your vBulletin directory and uncomment it (delete the //).
 *
 * For example, if vBulletin is installed in '/forum' the line should 
 * state:
 *
 *    define(VB_RELATIVE_PATH, 'forum');
 *
 * Note: You may need to change the cookie path of your vBulletin

//define(VB_RELATIVE_PATH, 'forums');


// Do not edit.
if (defined('VB_RELATIVE_PATH'))
{
    chdir('./' . VB_RELATIVE_PATH);
}

/**

require('content.php');


/**

Thanks DragonBlade^ .. i did that but when i click HOME tab its coming back to forum.php .. its not going on content.php ...

What i want is when people come to my site they should go directly to forum.php not content.php but when you click HOME tab they should be able to go Content.php ..

Do you know how to do that ?

Thanks.

Thats exactly what I need

If that is happening, then you've done something wrong in a setting or something. Check vboptions > content management > site tab url > should be content.php

Thanks Lynne .. works now exactly as i want it to ..

When i was trying to redirect to forum.php instead of content.php .. i changed it to forum.php ..Thats why it was going on to forum.php even after clicking HOME tab ..
