[FGC Fusion]

Ok so i have installed simple portal to enable a homepage page at my site to replace the blog and intergrate the forums into more of a website

the homepage is.. ie mydomain.co.uk the forums are in afolder in the root so run as mydomain.co.uk/forum......now i have set it as standalone and put the mydomain.co.uk as the standalone url....but it dont work ....i have a temp blog there at the mo and the home tab (on the forum) gos to that but if i remove the blog from the root all i get is a blank page saying that this page needs u to log in

the help state....For details, check the SPStandalone.php file found inside the forum root....to i need to edit this file and if so how and where

Really cant figure this out is there other settings as i didnt that i needed to do any manual editing

Please advice

Regard...Fusion

As the instructions say, move the SPStandalone.php file from your forum directory, to the directory where you want to have the portal, in your case you will also then want to rename the file to index.php.

Nathaniel...

Thanks for the reply although as someone who is just learning with SP and SMF i did get a more detailed explanation over at SMF ....

nope, you shouls rename SPStandalone.php  into index.php  and  move the file to your forum root directory:

mydomain.co.uk/forum   form here   to

mydomain.co.uk/


and second, nope, you completely misunderstand  me    you need to copy  this:
if you are using 1.1.11:

go to admin/ Server Settings /Core Configuration    SMF Directory     

if you are usind 2.0RC2
 
admin / Server Settings... / Database and Paths / SMF Directory


copy that, it must be somthing like /home/misite/public_html/forum   or somthing, just copy that,  then paste it in to this:

// Should be the full path!
$forum_dir = 'full/path/to/forum';

like this:

// Should be the full path!
$forum_dir = '/home/misite/public_html/forum';


and thats all, now you upload your SPStandalone.php file  to you site root folder:  misite.com.uk/SPStandalone.php    and rename it so you cna caal it like this:

misite.com.uk/index.php

Just for anyone else who may ask a similar question...its dead easy when you know how
