Changed Forums to Forum

[Elyk]

Today of of our admins updated to the latest 3.7.0 and for some strange reason he decided to change the forums folder from forums to forum, and completed the upgrade. Now everything is good except most of the images are not showing like smilies, icons obviously because of the folder name change.

Smilie path - red x now shows xxxx.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

Is there somewhere to set it so it says forum instead of forums for the missing images?

You can check if the config.php requires you to add forum path .


// ******** FULL PATH TO FORUMS DIRECTORY ******
// On a few systems it may be necessary to input the full path to your forums directory
// for vBulletin to function normally. You can ignore this setting unless vBulletin
// tells you to fill this in. Do not include a trailing slash!
// Example Unix:
// $config['Misc']['forumpath'] = '/home/users/public_html/forums';
// Example Win32:
// $config['Misc']['forumpath'] = 'c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\vb3';
$config['Misc']['forumpath'] = '';

You can also see if this is correct
Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > All Style Options > Image Paths

Check here to see if you use
Absolute path:
http://www.your_domain_name.com/images/icons

Relative path:
images/icons

Ensure the word "forums" is changed to "forum" in your vBulletin Options ->
Site Name / URL / Contact Details (Forum URL) and then go to Styles & Templates ->StyleVars (for the template you are using) and scroll down to the bottom half of that page,and ensure any directory using "forums" is changed to "forum".

For the smilies, I think each smilie must have the path changed the same way.

You'll probably also want to rebuild the post cache so they are parsed to the new URL.
