    [CMS] Big problem

    Hello there joyful people
    How do you remove /forum from the url so that your url point just to the cms without a /forum in the middle of it.

    Now it looks something like



    What I want is
    https://www.vbulletin.com/content.php (or index.php doesnt matter)

    Do you want to keep the forums in /forum and just move the CMS to the root directory?

    If so, copy the contents of the do_not_upload/cms directory to the place where you want to put the CMS. Edit the vb_dir.php file in that directory, and change this:
    PHP Code:
    $vb_dir realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/..');
    //$vb_dir = "/path/to/vbulletin/"; 
    Assuming you are placing the CMS in yoursite.com/ and your forums are located in yoursite.com/forum, change it to this:
    PHP Code:
    //$vb_dir = realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/..');
    //$vb_dir = "/path/to/vbulletin/";
    $vb_dir realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/forum'); 
    Afterward, go to the Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details and change the "CMS Component URL" to the URL to your CMS directory, e.g. http://yoursite.com

      Exactly, I want forums in mysite/forum blogs in mysite/blogs and cms in the root
      so it should read like

      mysite.com (cms)
      mysite.com/forum (forum)
      mysite.com/blog (blog)

        Well, those instructions should work for moving the CMS. The blog is pretty similar, just make a blog directory and upload the contents of do_not_upload/blog to it, edit its vb_dir.php file and change the same lines above to this:
        PHP Code:
        //$vb_dir = realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/..');
        //$vb_dir = "/path/to/vbulletin/";
        $vb_dir realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../forum'); 
        And then finally change your "Blog Component URL" (same place - Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details) to the URL to your blog, e.g. http://yoursite.com/blog

                Yes. Copy the contents of the do_not_upload/cms folder in the vBulletin package to the place you want the CMS to be (in this case, you want it in the root of your site, so copy the files there).

                    You have to edit the vb_dir.php file as I explained in in my first post.

                        Make sure the "Always use Forum URL as Base Path" setting is set to "Yes". (This is located at the same place as the component URL settings mentioned earlier, Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details)

                            Your "Forum URL" needs to be set to the forum directory, e.g. http://yoursite.com/forum
