Updated Board, Portal no longer front page

Post by JohnnyBigspuds »

Updated my board from phpbb 3.1.2 to 3.1.8 then to 3.1.11
Portal page no longer shows on as main website page, not to sure when it happened
The portal can be accessed by clicking on the portal link
and the side portal is all displayed correctly on all pages

Since the update, the landing page of the site is now the index page.

I have followed numerous topics to resolve this and havent been able to get it to work
prior to updates, when you went to " test.com " it shows the portal page and the http address bar was

Code: Select all

www.test.com
now it shows the index page.
To have the portal page show as main page now have to have the http address bar as

Code: Select all

www.test.com/app.php/portal
i have made the following changes but it hasnt rectified the issue ( i have also purged the cache )

Open includes/functions.php
Find:

Code: Select all

$redirect = request_var('redirect', "{$phpbb_root_path}index.$phpEx");
Replaced with

Code: Select all

$redirect = request_var('redirect', "{$phpbb_root_path}YOUR PAGE NAME.$phpEx");
And

Open root/.htaccess
Add

Code: Select all

DirectoryIndex app.php index.php index.html index.htm
And
In ucp.php find:

Code: Select all

    case 'login':
        if ($user->data['is_registered'])
        {
            redirect(append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}index.$phpEx"));
        }

        login_box(request_var('redirect', "index.$phpEx")); 
Replaced with

Code: Select all

    case 'login':
        if ($user->data['is_registered'])
        {
            redirect(append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}portal.$phpEx"));
        }

        login_box(request_var('redirect', "portal.$phpEx")); 
Can anyone please help?
many thanks

What do you mean by
"BUT if i try and log in from anywhere else on the board i get the error"

There is no portal.php under phpBB 3.1

This login logout function has nothing to do with the portal. Question on phpBB.com afterwards.

there was redirects to app.php/portal
i changed them to app.php
and now is fully working
