Hi phpbb2

Thanks for your great product!!! It works perfect.

I have one problem though:

How do i create a site you'll see before the forum? My forum is not in a subdirectory, it's placed in root of the domain?

I can just put it, in a subdirectory, but i'm not sure which files to edit in afterwards...

Please if someone now's the solution to this problem please post...

Thanks

It should be kinda easy...

ezPortal Installation file hat folgendes geschrieben:

HOW TO MAKE YOUR WEBSITE OPEN TO FILE portal.php INSTEAD OF index.php ?
# You can use one of the following methods! Lots of luck!
#
#
# o Method 1: (for Apache server)
# create/modify file .htaccess in phpBB root directory
# add/edit this line:
#
# DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm portal.php index.php
#
#
# o Method 2: {use JavaScript - if you cannot apply the 1st method)
# create file index.html in phpBB root directory (without #)
#
# <html>
# <head>
# <title>Redirecting...</title>
# <script language="JavaScript">
# self.location.href='portal.php';
# </script>
# </head>
# <body>
# </body>
# </html>
#
# if your phpBB was placed in a subdirectory to the
# webroot, like: http://something.com/forum
# you could create index.html in the webroot and modify the
# line 5 to self.location.href='forum/portal.php';
#

So what you need to do is the same but instead of pointing to portal.php, point to your start page Very Happy

That way it will be the default page for the site.
