Coastie Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I would like to see the ability to rename the main forum index.php file Ideally there would be a setting in the conf_global.php file where the main index.php file could be renamed.

Bradyok Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 This would be a great feature that I would like to see.. I could keep everything in the same directory and use my regular site, instead of forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Elliott Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Unfortunately, things like Apache and the likes LOOK for index.php (or index.htm / index.html etc) to autoload your website, when you specify www.yoursite.com/forum without you having to type the /index.php at the end.

Coastie Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 currect, but we would use another index.xxx file for that ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haroon Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Same qs. here. anu rename index.php into something like hum.php? huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Just curious. Why? I'm assuming so you could keep it all in the same directory, but just have a different frontpage, hence renaming IPB's index.php? Good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Why not just have index.html as well as index.php .html will be recognised before .php That is what I have at my site. So if you ever find my site, you will notice you are taken to mysite.com/index.html, and from there you can navigate to the forums, which are stored at mysite.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elj Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 The setting is controlled by Apache DirectoryIndex in httpd.conf, if I'm on the right lines. If index.php is before index.htm(l), it will check and see if the PHP file's there in the first place, then the HTML. Different hosts may have different settings for this.

DAN21 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Well i used VB once and this feature is implanted in there, anybody knows why it works fine there and couldnt work fine as well here?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreckel Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Just write a .htaccess file that has DirectoryIndex home.php And then call your main site home.php. Assuming you have the proper overrides set, it should load up home.php by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
