[Forum] Change 'Forum' breadcrumb link from index.php to root

[ap0llo_*]

Hi,

I'm trying to delete all occurrences of index.php and instead will be using the root domain. I've managed to get rid of all occurrences of index.php apart from one, the Forum link in the breadcrumb links. Anyone know how to get rid of this?

How about vboptions > Forums Home Page Options > Script Name for Forum Home Page ?

I've tried this but as it's the root it does not work because if put a / in this option, .php is added to the ending. Therefore, the forum link becomes /.php .

Since you know it is the setting 'forumhome', did you try searching in the files for where it is used? It's on the bottom of the forum pages under the //draw nav bar area - like here in forumdisplay.php:

// draw nav bar
$navbits = array();
$navbits[$vbulletin->options['forumhome'] . '.php' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']] = $vbphrase['forum'];

Ah it seems I only looked within 'Search in Templates' rather than the raw files. Thanks.

I've made the changes to forumdisplay.php and showthread.php. Do you know any other files to change the link in?

I've had to leave index in the 'Script Name for Forum Home Page' as the 'Mark Forums Read' seems to redirect to this and I couldn't find a way of redirecting to the root rather than this. Do you know of a way?

Thanks for all your help so far, these answers are not anywhere on the internet!

Try a search in your files for $navbits[$vbulletin->options['forumhome'] to see if it shows up anywhere else. And for the Mark Forums Read, if you look at the link, it goes to forumdisplay.php?do=markread, so look under that action in the file to find the redirect link.

vBulletin 4.1.3 solution

I thought I'd update this topic with the solution for the current vBulletin 4.1.3 version, since the old solution doesn't apply anymore.

in \includes\class_friendly_url.php
Replace

$this->script = $registry->options['forumhome'] . ".php"; 

with

$this->script = $registry->options['forumhome']; 

in Template: navbar (id: 748)
Replace

<li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li> 

with

<li class="navbithome"><a href="{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li>

Great work!
It worked perfect, it took some time to find someone who had solved it but it was sure worth it :P
Many thanks.

I just recently had the forum updated to 4.1.10, I managed to update everything from my previous versions to remove forum.php, however the latest version I don't think the code

[COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#0000BB]$this[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]->[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000BB]script [/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]= [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000BB]$registry[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]->[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000BB]options[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700][[/COLOR][COLOR=#DD0000]'forumhome'[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]];[/COLOR][/COLOR]

is valid anymore as it will but the path to domain.com/forum instead of the root url
