XF 2.3 How to set the resource plugin as the main page of the forum

[Xiomz]

Hello everyone,

My forum is focused on support for my clients regarding 3D models. To make it more efficient, I use the resource plugin as my professional portfolio where my 3D designs are showcased. I would like this to be the main page when users open my forum, meaning:

https://www.darkenix.com/resources/ should become https://www.darkenix.com/

And I would like the discussion forum to be separate, for example:https://www.darkenix.com/forum

Currently, I made a temporary modification using .htaccess, but it wasn’t very effective since I don’t have access to the forum, and I’m also experiencing some bugs like duplicate resource links.

# <IfModule mod_security.c>
#     SecFilterEngine Off
#     SecFilterScanPOST Off
# </IfModule>

ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 405 default
ErrorDocument 406 default
ErrorDocument 500 default
ErrorDocument 501 default
ErrorDocument 503 default

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect the root domain to /resources/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
    RewriteRule ^$ /resources/ [L,R=302]

    # Base path for rewrites
    RewriteBase /

    # Access the old index.php content via /main (now renamed to main.php)
    RewriteRule ^main/?$ main.php [L]

    # Allow access to static files and directories
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

    # Rewrite all other requests to index.php
    RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>

Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Set the index page route in the options in the ACP to resources/ .

Can you give me the instructions for what you're suggesting? I was looking for it, but honestly, I couldn't find it. I see public_navigation and Route filters, but the latter doesn't achieve what I want.

wrong area-- go here:
admin.php?options/groups/basicBoard/

Ah, that's right, thanks. I hadn't seen the option below that says advanced options. It's not very visible when you're new to using this type of forum. Solved. Thank you very much.
