Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
cst3124 Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 current in application 'forums' is the default application, but i wanna use my own .html as the default landing page. I know that the domain domain default page will auto visit to the default application page. How can i change it to my own .html
Meddysong Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 There are two approaches which I think you could take: 1) Purchase the Pages app and make that the default app for the suite. Replicate your HTML page there. Your forums will be found at site.com/forums. 2) Move your installation of Invision Community from site.com to site.com/forums. That leaves site.com free for whatever you want to put there. Bear in mind that if you purchase further apps, they'll also be at site.com/forums, so you'll get site.com/forums/gallery, etc, rather than site.com/gallery if you take this approach.
CoffeeCake Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Another option! 3) If you don't like the option in #2, use rewrite rules to serve your home page for requests made to the root of your domain, and send everything else to IPS.

Hi Paul, do you have any examples on how to do this?? thanks
CoffeeCake Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 It depends on your web browser, however the concept would be to send requests to example.com/ to the single file of your choosing, and anything else to the IPS handler. This may help get you in the right direction for apache: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/rewrite/intro.html
