Here you can set the values for the content management portion of your site. Please note that this section will only appear if you have the Publishing Suite installed.
- CMS URL
Optional URL for your CMS.
If this is specified it will override the Forum URL setting for CMS pages. You may specify an absolute URL or a URL relative to your Forum URL
Examples:
http://www.example.com
http://www.example.com/cms
../Note:This may be specified to change the base URL for all CMS links. This is useful if you run the CMS from a location that differs from your Forum URL.
You may specify an absolute URL such as http://www.example.com/, or a URL relative to your Forum URL. If your forum is in /forum and your CMS is at the root of your webserver then you may use ../. If you use an absolute URL the option Always use Forum URL as Base Path will have no effect for CMS pages, and the CMS url specified will always be used. If you wish to run your CMS from a location other than your Forum URL then you must ensure that the appropriate entry scripts have been set up.
Create the following files. Be sure to replace 'your_forum_path' with the actual path to your vBulletin installation. For example, if your CMS will be at http://www.example.com/ and your forums at http://www.example.com/forums/, then replace 'your_forum_path' with 'forums'.

- Default Page
If a user visits your CMS site without specifying a page, they will view this page. It should consist of the page number, dash, then the seo url you assigned that page. For example: '1-home-page'. An incorrect value here can prevent CMS from functioning. - CMS Name
Name of your CMS. This appears in the title of every CMS page. - Site Tab URL
The URL used by the CMS Tab in the main navigation menu. - Associated Forum for Comments
The forum to use for CMS item comment threads. Note, if you change this value to a different Forum then you will need to manually move any existing threads to the new forum.
