I'm thinking of installing this mod. However, there are two things I want to sort out first.
How configurable is the portal? Can I add links in various places and post articles adn stuff on the portal directly?
And second, can I set the portal so that when users type in my website's URL, they're sent to the portal directly.
Example:
Typing in www.schoolofduel.com takes them to www.schoolofduel.com/bbs/" target="_blank">http://www.schoolofduel.com/bbs/
Can I set it so that typing in www.schoolofduel.com will take them to the portal instead? |

This portal mod does not use the forums to publish your articles to your home page, it uses separate database tables. It allow you to create categories and place articles in those categories, and creates the nav menu from the posted articles. You can choose left and/or right nav menues and which categories on the left and right.
For your second question, you can set your default page to redirect to the portal.asp page.
cheers,

This is a quick and simple redirect, just save this as index.htm and then some one go's to your website it then redirects then to your subfolder
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL="yoursite.com/forum/default.asp">
</body>
</html>
Just replace the red section to the url u want.

Ok, there are two things I'm trying to figure out with the mod. I added it and there are no problems but when I go to portal.asp, I get the following message:
Error
You must set a value for 'Homepage Content' in 'CMS Configuration'
Also, Helterskelter, you'll have to pardon my ignorance. But, do you mean to take that code you posted below and simply save it as a file called index.htm and upload it to my server?
Also, the part in red should, in this case, be the portal.asp part of my website since that's where I'm trying to redirect to, correct? |

Go back into CMS configuration and select one article as the default page for the portal.

Ye make a file called index.htm and save that code to it and upload to the first level.
And yes change the red part to the file u want, so portal.asp or anything u like.
Give it a try it's dead easy rearly |

Well, I tried it. I made a file called index.htm and I copied that code in and inserted the URL of the portal on my forum to it. But it doesn't do anything still. If I enter www.schoolofduel.com, it still takes me to the default.asp, not portal.asp.
Any ideas on how I can fix that? |

In one of my implementations, I have a default.asp in the root with this sole single line in it.....
<% Response.Redirect "/Forums/portal.asp" %>
demo here.... http://www.beavertonfallfair.ca

That's what I need, yes.
Can you please tell me where to specifically post this code in default.asp? |

It is the only line in my default.asp, and you need to make sure default.asp is the default page to the website.

Instead, right now, it takes them to: www.schoolofduel.com/bbs/" target="_blank">http://www.schoolofduel.com/bbs/
My forum home, however, is set as: www.schoolofduel.com/bbs/default.asp" target="_blank">http://www.schoolofduel.com/bbs/default.asp
See what I mean?
You need to ask your host to set the website default page if you can't set it yourself. Right now it appears to be set to /bbs/default.asp, the forums default page. Ask your host to set the default page to default.asp or index.asp in the root of the site (ie: one level above the folder /bbs).

Nertz, what do you mean you only have one line of code in default.asp?
Exactly what it says, the redirect is the only line in that file. it is not the same file as the forums default page, it is the website default in the root.
