[8wayRun.Com] XenPorta (Portal)

[SchmitzIT]

Alright, really stupid question time.

Can someone remind me how to administrate the portal so that I can edit modules? I can't remember how to access them for the life of me. I can't remember the link to administrate them at all.

The old system had them in <yoursite>/portal/modules. The newer version has them in the AdminCP under the Home tab.

I have done that before, however, it just moves the homepage to www.havoccraft.com/forum. As shown in that link.

Have you installed your XenForo in a sub-directory called "forum"?

I installed xenforo in /forum directory

 

[Divvens]

I installed xenforo in /forum directory

That is why you get an extra /forum even when you enable that option since your install directory is /forum. If it would have been the root directory you wouldn't get the /forum along with it.
http://www.havoccraft.com/forum <- that link is the landing page of your forum (Home/index).
http://www.havoccraft.com/forum/index.php?forum/ <- that is your actual forum.

So XenPorta is doing what it's supposed to do, acting as the index to your forum. The index to your /forum directory is the place where your portal is showing.

so, should I reinstall xenforo but not put the files into a /forum directory?

If you have plans to build a site on your root directory then you shouldn't, if you aren't planning on using your root directory at all you can move the installation there. Are you planing to do anything on http://www.havoccraft.com/ ?

Thanks!

Haha... I guess I should probably update my XenPorta.

 

[justwordme]

Is there a way to keep the traditional start page category/forum listing but with the News block on top and other side bar etc....

 

[Divvens]

The portal will automatically be on that if it were in the root You can change the install directory if that was what you wanted.

You can either read this to know how to move your installation (http://xenforo.com/community/threads/frequently-asked-questions.5183/#post-180455) or if it's a fresh installation you can just re-install it on your root.
