[Forum] How to make www. mandatory

[LilPimpnRapper]

Hey I am trying to make it so when you type in orlandomagicfans.net/forums it turns into http://www.orlandomagicfans.net/forums with the www.

I've been having lots of problems with facebook connect and I am starting to think that it works when the site is www. but everytime it goes without the www. - it doesn't work. So, I want to make it so the www is always there.

I just edited my main joomla page so it is like this - the user who helped me told me it good for SEO too. It was called SEO Canonicalisation and there was a joomla plugin for it, and it worked great. Now i want to do it on my forums too.

add this to your .htaccess in the root of your site, or create a .htaccess if there isn't one.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^orlandomagicfans\.net$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.orlandomagicfans.net/$1 [R=301,L]
