ok I installed a invisionfree mod on my forum that make http://omnimaga.dyndns.org or http://omnimaga.dyndns.org/index.php redirect to http://omnimaga.dyndns.org/index.php?act=site . however it doesnt seems to work fine. When I click the two first link it redirect to the board index instead, at least in Firefox, IE and Opera. It's a premade code
Code:
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript>
/*
Front Page as Portal v2.1
By Webworldx

*/
if(location.href.match(/\?\w+/) == null && document.referrer.match(location.pathname) == null){
if (location.href.match("index.php") == null && location.href.lastIndexOf("/") + 1 != location.href.length){
location.href += "/index.php?act=site"
} else {
location.href="index.php?act=site"
}
}
</script>
I am wondering how this code could be modified so when you type in address bar or click http://omnimaga.dyndns.org , http://omnimaga.dyndns.org/ , http://omnimaga.dyndns.org/index.php it redirect to http://omnimaga.dyndns.org/index.php?act=site , kinda like when you type http://www.unitedti.org which goes to the portal instead of the forums. I hope this is possible. Thanks in advance for your help

IPB (2.x) actually ships with a lite portal, and a script to utilize that as well, however this script expects your forum to be in a subdirectory from where you want the portal to show up.

What you're asking to do requires actually modifying the php code in your index.php file and changing the logic for the default option to load the mod, rather then when act=site. The mod should include those kind of instructions for installation purposes.

oh I see, so I guess this is impossible to do this in javascript? Oh well, then I'll have to use omnimaga.unitedti.org as the main URL forever until Invisionfree upgrade to their own CMS
