Start in Forum not Home

[wolfey]

OK...maybe a simple fix but I cant find it

Upgraded to VB4

The link to my forum now goes to the "Home" page which currently has nothing, I would like it to go to the forum index like before.

which looks like it is at xyz/forum.php now?

Are you using the vb cms as homepage? If so at the index.php file in the root of your forum folder, uncomment the part for the forum and comment the part for the cms.

i.e.

PHP Code:

/**
 * Use the CMS as the default script:
 */

//require('content.php');


/**
 * Use the forum as the default script:
 */

require('forum.php');

OK so that new CMS content home page was not a part of VB3.8, I dont need to use that right now

How do I turn that off, so that my forum URL goes directly to the forum section and not that "Home"

Do I still have to edit the code? or is there a simple option to turn off

Thanks!

Simply do the edits I described above. If you want to disable totally the cms, you can do so at Plugins & Products in your Acp.
