    Setting the root of the forum

    Hi,

    Just installed nForum - very impressed!

    One minor issue - I've nest the Forum pages under my Home page, and tweaked the master templates for the Login and Register to ~/Forum/Login.aspx etc.

    However if I go to EditProfile.aspx, it's finding the page but at the root of the site ie ~/EditProfile.aspx.  It's working fine, but I'd rather it went to ~/Forum/EditProfile.aspx.

    Is there an easy way to set the root to /Forum for the forum?

    Ta muchly!

    Tony

    The categories list show correctly the number of topics and posts, but the topics and posts don't appear, the post content don't appear.

    Some screen shots would be good, also have you you added ?umbDebugShowTrace=true to see if that shows anything?

    Realise I'm resurrecting an old thread here, but I've just installed nForum 1.5 and I'd still like to achieve this. Right now I have the following URLs:

    • /forum-search.aspx
    • /forum-register.aspx
    • /forum-login.aspx
    • /general-discussion.aspx
    • /general-discussion/faq.aspx

    And I'd like them all to sit under /forum/. Looking at this recommended post I cannot see the Forum Main Category level, although I seem to recall a post where that was removed a while back.

    If I create a forum category called "forums" and move everything under there, I get the correct URL structure, but an additional link in the sub navigation:

    e.g. forums >> General Discussion >>

    Any ideas what to do?

    Hi Robert,

    I got around it much easier by just setting the forum folder to hostname 'forum.mydomain.co.uk' and then just directing all forum traffic to there.  After that, profile, login etc. all sit in that subdomain and there was no need to shift anything around.

    Works a treat - just put live a new installation makes it easier to split the traffic for reporting as well :)

    Probably not what you were after but thought I'd share it in case it's not something you've considered.

    Cheers!

    Tony

    Your welcome!  Note that the login page is shared by the main site and the forum, as the path is /login, but that shouldn't be an issue as they share the same membership db.  Have fun!
