How to change the forum home page?? like i want to upload this thing how can i?
http://og-clan.neq3.com/
i did it but it is giving error..

[emanuele]

What "thing" exactly you want to upload?

The link you posted uses SimplePortal, so if it is your site you can change the blocks from the admin panel (admin > simpleportal > blocks), when you create it you can specify in the "Display options" section, "Show block on" and select "portal".

i want it like tz.no1host.us or tz.no1host.us/home.html

If you want the first you have to learn flash.
If you want the second you can put up a simple html page adding what you need (you can even check the code the site you linked is using to have an idea of how to do it).

[[OG]Anirudh]

i want second one and i have uploaded my html but what should i do to show it at og-clan.neq3.com not on og-clan.neq3.com/myhtml.html

You're not making much sense, [OG]. You still haven't said what "this thing" is, that you want.

[[OG]Anirudh]

I have made a html page and i want it to show at og-clan.neq3.com not at og-clan.neq3.com/htmlpage.html

When you install a portal, it makes the portal the homepage and moves the forum, itself, down a level.

That's what they're using, on that page. Simple Portal.

If you've created your own page, you could, perhaps, move your forum into a sub-directory and have your page as the one you go to, when you go to og-clan.neq3.com

(That's if I've even remotely understood what you're saying)

If you want it at myhtml.html, name the file myhtml.html and put it in the root.
The problem is that when you point your browser to for example:
og-clan.neq3.com/
it is the same as:
og-clan.neq3.com/index.html
So you likely want to name it "index.html" so that it appears when people browse to the "index" of your home page.

[kat]

The error being...?

[Storman™]

[OG]Anirudh - Not sure why you are messing around like this, just put that image and the 3 options on the front page of your simpleportal installation in a html block. Make the forum width 98% (or similar) and remove the side columns on that front page as well - that will moreorless make it look very similar to what you want.

And firstly get rid of Pretty Urls !!!!  The redirects are causing havok !

Amen, to that.

[[OG]Anirudh]

i want it like tz.no1host.us

[kat]

"it" being what?

Do you mean the tedious intro, which has got nothing, at all, to do with SMF and will need coding?

Do you mean the theme they're using, on the forum? http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2709

Or... what?

You're not giving us a lot to go on...

[[OG]Anirudh]

Ok leave that see this
i have done all the things i wanted to do after that you can see the images , by seeing the image i think you all will understand...
1
2
3
4
5
5.2

The problem is that when i click on any board or any thing it gives error...

Wait....

So, you added an index.html file and then changes your index.php to be forum.php?


the first one, you MIGHT be able to get away with, although it is bad process - you should have moved your forum into a subdirectory and then had your root be the landing page by itself.

the second one is going to cause lots, lots and even more lots of issues all throughout your forum system....

you can't just cange the file name and assume things will work.

[Arantor]

And of course could have been avoided entirely by just using the forum and a portal mod to create a landing page.

Ok but what link should i paste for redirect by click on forum image directly to forums???

[Kindred]

if you moved the forum into a directory called "forum" (and left the index.php alone)?

you would obvious use yourdomain.com/forum/index.php


the way you have it configured now?   Ther eis nothing that tyou can do to make it work right, becuase of the stuff I posted, above.

Seriously, why don't you just use a portal mod? then there is no moving of anything... there is no separate page - everything is internal to the forum itself.

I did it but it is showing this error

Warning: require_once(/home/u726269016/public_html/Sources/QueryString.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/u726269016/public_html/forum/index.php on line 50 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/u726269016/public_html/Sources/QueryString.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /home/u726269016/public_html/forum/index.php on line 50

[Arantor]

That's because you haven't updated Settings.php to tell SMF that you moved it...

Grab repair_settings.php from the Downloads area on this site and use it.

[Kindred]

Ad that would be because you didn't follow the full instructions for moving your forum. After you move the files, you have to upload and run repair_settings.pho to reset all of the paths and urls to point to the new location.

You really need to read the FAQ and the wiki/manual.

And, if you installed a portal mod, you could do all of this without moving anything and working within SMF itself.

[[OG]Anirudh]

I used repair settings and i also chmodded it to 777 but still it is giving error
Warning: chmod(): No such file or directory in /home/u726269016/public_html/repair_settings.php on line 623 
Settings.php cannot be written to by your webserver. Please modify the permissions on this file to allow write access.

As i know,Anirudh has closed his clan and posted application in some other clan 

I dont think he is interested in solving this issue anymore.

Their website main page have nothing to do with simpleportal/SMF.Same for the intro.

I want it and who are you??

[Tavsih]

You have nothing to do with me.


You can do it by using Simpleportal too.Which is very easy.You can use BB code for better look.

Why you are copying them?Stealing other's ideas.Cant be creative?

How can i ? please give me a tutorial m noob

[Kindred]

make a decision on what you actually want to do.

If you are going to actually take the advice and go for a portal, then move the forum back to the root, reconfigure it back to the root... and install the portal mod.

Then take a look at the mod support topic for all sorts of suggestions and help...
Take a look at the mod support site for a full set of instructions on using simple portal.

[[OG]Anirudh]

Ok thanks...

[Angelina Belle]

Did that work?

[[OG]Anirudh]

[Angelina Belle]

Thanks for marking this "solved".
I hope you are having a good experience with your remaining SMF forums.

[[OG]Anirudh]

Yes
