make site default index

Hey 

 I am sure one my genius fellow Boonex folks can answer this easily :)

when i set up new site I made a landing page so it did not go to nowhere

now my boonex site is /dating and the main url xxxx.com goes to the landing page

to use adwords it must land at url.xxx with no /dating

can anyone please explain to me how I make the boonex site /dating the default landing page for the server url so it just goes to url.com instead of the landing page

thank you very much... Tim

i have a few ideas but not an expert on this i am afraid to try them

Well I do not know if I am understanding you right but if it was going to a splash page before and you want it to go back then you edited your index.php file to the splash page. re upload the default index.php file to your root on the server. Don't know if you changed your .htaccess but if so you might want to upload the default to that as well.

Hi....

No.....I think I may have done it incorrectly in the first place....

I did not have the boonex site in my server yet at all when I made a landing page at my Webflow account and put that in the server under the domain for somewhere to land while I worked on the site, then I added the boonex site

When I put in the boonex site I made that domain/dating

so I guess what I need to know is if I remove the original landing page which goes to domain.com.....how do I make the /dating the default page without the /dating...... as I also have a phpbb forum domain/forum in there too, i am not sure what becomes the default if I remove the landing page

I did not touch any htaccess files at all... I am not that sure of myself to do that and I would be guessing what to do

That one I do not know. Don't know if you can point your domain to www.YOURDOMAIN/dating from the dns or how ever you bought your domain name? After that I have no clue..

Sorry

Ok thanks......

I removed the landing page and now domain.com goes to index files listing.....or nowhere lol

I will keep searching or maybe have to start over..... 

try to find the following code on line 44 in your index.php file in the root folder...

check_logged();

and then below it, on line 45 in your index.php file try to add the following code:

header ('Location:' . BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . 'index.php');

You just need to move all of the files out of the /Dating folder and put them in your home directory where your landing page is. You'll also need to remove the landing page because assuming it is index.html it will load before index.php (The Dolphin start page). If you are using an FTP program like Filezilla:

1. FTP to the home directory of your site

2. Go to the folder /dating, select everything, and drag it up one level (most likely "up one level" will be represented by a folder icon at the top of your files listing) and this should move all of your Dolphin files out of the /Dating directory and into the home "/" directory

3. Delete the index.html (your landing page) Make sure you delete index.html and not index.php

4. Go to /includes folder and edit (download/edit/upload) the file header.inc so that $dir['root'] = the path that it shows now minus the /Dating at the end (just delete "/Dating" from the end of the root path.
