VBadvanced + Htaccess + VBSEO = I have An Issue

HI Guys,

I have an issue, I have installed VBSEO as of today and I am having trouble with links that direct to "index.php"

When the link (IE. $vboptions[bburl]/index.php") it gets redirected by to my homepage of "portal.php".

As I have both VBA and VB running out of the same folder I have the following in my Htaccess:

Code:

DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php index.html

So I need to know how to fix it

Thanks!

My opinion: Don't use the DirectoryIndex thingy.

Rename your forum's index.php to something like forum.php
And then, rename portal.php to index.php

Finally, create a CRR in your vbseoCP to rewrite forum.php, if you don't like it being displayed with the .php suffix.
Done!

This is exactly what I've done on my Forum too; and it works great.

Thanks, but I do not think that is the way to go, involves way too much work as we have tons of code dependent on it being "index.php".

Solution:

Please try disabling force Forum home root option within vBSEO Cp

Is there a way to keep the setting but make it go to the right index page? I'm having the same issue but with Dynamics. I've turned off "Force Forum Root as Homepage?" and it fixed the problem but I'd prefer to have the setting on.

$vboptions[bburl] is your Forum URL, as defined in the other vBulletin Options in that section. Usually it's index.php, but you have defined it as portal.php, so:

$vboptions[bburl]/index.php = http:// domain. com/vbroot/portal.php/index.php

I believe that the variable you should be using is $vboptions[homeurl]/index.php
