Hello! Currently the project i am working on is mainly forum so i got like! wwwdomain.com/forums link to my forums! What i would like to do is ask for a guide or help how can i .................Move all users who come to main domain while it is not ready yet to my forum link? i have seen a site which directed me to the forum after i actually l went to their main page ! Could anyone please tell me or write a small quid or post a article or link how and where i can do it ? My hosting and domein is now at godaddy! cheers vai
One way (not necessarily the best one) would be to create a sub-domain at GoDaddy, as in forum.domain.com You can then redirect the domain to the sub-domain. Again, there is probably a better way out there - this is just the easiest thing that comes to mind.
if you want just to show the forum when you go to the main site but not also the forum url in the address bar, you may simply create a index page for the main page with just one frame in it containing the forum.
i cant make a sub domein with my main domein name , i dont think it would work out , since i have made a main domain the one with /forums! Well i am confused! However I don't mind if there is a / forum, thats how it supose to be ! What i meant is currently i have forums which i am working on with www.mydomein.lv/forums , and i want to keep forums where they are but while my main page is not readdy yet it would be good if ppl when go to my www.gomain.lv and by the time they get thereit they get redirected directly to www.mydomein.lv/forums How can i do that ?
Follow this if you are using cpanel. 1 To access the Redirects Menu, click on the icon above the word Redirects on the main screen of your cPanel interface. 2 Enter the URL that you wish to be redirected in the first blank field. (www.gomain.lv) 3 Enter the URL of the page that you wish your users to be taken (redirected) to in the second blank field. (www.mydomein.lv/forums) 4 Select from the drop box whether this redirect is to be permanent or temporary. NOTE: Temporary redirects can be used when pages are under construction so that the user can view another page until that page is complete. 5 Click on Add to add the redirect.
Thanks for Help mate! Will try it tomorrow now i am going to sleep lol 4 am here! And BTW i am using atm only Admin panel which is in SMF forums, havnt got installed nothing on main domain, i was thinking maybe it would be easier just to install joomla and keep it in sort of out of maintenance look but with directed link to forums. thanks vai
