Dead links on home page. Here's how to fix.

First, try this. If that doesn't work, then read on.

You may want to replace either "$header" or "$navbar" from the portal template with the actual code. $header/$navbar is just a code that replicates both templates, so the main reason why you are seeing dead links is because of the template saying "a href="album.php", and not "a href="forum/album.php".

Go to the Admin CP, and under Styles and Templates, click on "Search in Templates". Search for album.php (since it's one of the dead links). In the search results, look for the templates navbar, or header (It's most likely navbar, but I am unsure as to how you guys coded the forums). Once you see it, go into that particular template and copy the code.

Open up notepad and in notepad, hit ctrl + f. Find a href, and in the code, put a forums/ before it. So for instance, a normal code for albums would look like:

<a href="album.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[pictures_and_albums]</a>

You're making it:

<a href="forums/album.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[pictures_and_albums]</a>

After you did that, copy the entire code and go back into your admin cp.

Go into the main portal template and hit cntrl + f. Which ever template you just coppied, search for it in the code. So in other words, if you coppied the navbar template, search for $navbar. Then, highlite and delete that, and paste the code you coppied into that spot, then voilla!

Just a word of advice, I'd first try this on a test template, then once you've got it, I'd copy and paste onto the main template.


I hope I worded this well enough =/
