[CMS] Stop CMS redirecting to /content/

[rossco_2005]

Hi,
I have the whole of vbulletin in my site root.

http://site.com

When I browse to http://site.com I should see the CMS Home.
It does, but the problem is it redirects to http://site.com/content/
How can I get it to stop redirecting like that, and just show content from the root?

Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs is on with Enforce Strict Canonical.

Not sure you can. In fact you can get to the situation that
http://site.com
http://site.com/content
http://site.com/content.php?s=
http://site.com/content.php?1-whats-new

all return identical information.

Well those all redirect back to http://site.com/content/ luckily (exception being ?s=).

Digitalpoint's site doesn't do the redirect, I asked him a few months ago what he changed and he said he didn't change anything. :wacko:

You might want to try this Plug-in on Hook init_startup

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/')
{
    $vbulletin->options['friendlyurl_canonical'] = 0;
}

That's great Andreas thanks!

The only issue is that site.com/content/ does not redirect to /

Is the only easy way to fix that through htaccess?

Should be possible, yes - or you could use another Plug-in

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/content/')
{
    exec_header_redirect('/', 301);
}

Thanks, that did it.
