Going to Move Some Static Html Pages Under IPB Pages. What is the best way to do this?

[media]

Question: Can I put IPB Pages on inactive and move static pages under IPB pages (I mean while working on it)

Question: Can I change IPB Pages URL match with Static url?

Any other input would be appreciated? Please if you done this share your experiences...

Thanks

1. You can setup the page permissions so that only the admin group can see them. That way nobody else can access/view them until they're ready.
2. Yes, it is possible. But it depends on the URL you're trying to use. Got an example? 🤔

Wow, great suggestion.... 🙂

example

my IBP forum is here https://www.site.com/forum/

Static page URL: https://www.site.com/a/a.html

You wouldnt be able to set it to be outside of your installations structure, no

As Marc said, URLs outside of the installation folder are not possible. At most, you can use this URL:

https://www.site.com/forum/a/a.html

 

You need to move the forum to the root directory to use the one you want. Once that's done, you'll have this setup:

FORUM => https://www.site.com/

STATIC => https://www.site.com/a/a.html/

Oh, somehow I missed the previous reply.

 

You'd need to setup a redirect for the old forum folder and redirect all URLs starting with https://www.site.com/forum/* to https://www.site.com/*

Either use a .htaccess rule or leave an index.php file inside the forum folder with some redirect code.
