Title: Standalone Mode.. Full path or Relative Path
Post by: rodeosolstice on September 20, 2009, 02:41:25 PM

The instructions in PortalStandalone.php say to use the FULL PATH:

Code: [Select]

// Should be the full path!
$forum_dir = 'full/path/to/forum';
I couldn't get this to work

Code: [Select]

// Should be the full path!
$forum_dir = 'http://www.mydomain.com/forum/';
But, I did get it to work using this

Code: [Select]

// Should be the full path!
$forum_dir = 'forum';
Any issues with that?????

How would I go about setting an absolute path? As if I was pointing to a different host server (ie a whole path like http://www.mydomain.com/forum/)

FYI
The following is all I have installed:
SMF 1.1.10
SMF Classifieds 1.2.26
Simple Portal 2.3
I am using the DEFAULT THEME

Thanks!

BUMP - for those that have read this thread, I found my problem. I had on test forum pointing to another test forum, and didn't realize that till just now. So, it was not a browser issue.

But, I'd really appreciate any responses to the post above about the path needed for the standalone mode....

thanks!

Find your forum's 'Settings.php' file. The value of $boarddir that it sets will be the full path to your forum.

example:

Code: [Select]

$boarddir = '/home/user/www/forum'; # The absolute path to the forum's folder. (not just '.'!)
