How to fix wrong URL for link to phpBB?

[TheIllusioner]

Hello .. I've done some looking and some searching and some swearing and some hair pulling out (my own) and I cannot seem to find where the setting is that controls the link from my zen cart to my forums.


Currently, instead of doing this:
http://theillusioner.com/forums

When I click the 'forums' link on my store, it goes here:
http://theillusioner.com/store//forums/index.php

I'm pretty sure that I set it up wrong when I was configuring the store and now I'm trying to fix it.

Where do I work this magic?

I'm not overly technical but am not afraid to break open dreamweaver and change things if I need to do so.

Thanks so much in advance for any advice.

What is the entry in your configure.php file for this?

  define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/');

Well .. I went poking and found this:

define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/home/theillusioner/theillusioner.com/forums')

Should I link it more directly with this: http://theillusioner.com/forums

Should I link it more directly with this: http://theillusioner.com/forums

Quoted from the configure file - emphasis mine

// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)

So try the following:

define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', 'forums/');

Okay .. I tried that and I really appreciate the help. I feel like I'm in the wrong thread now or is getting the forums link working considered customization? I don't want to get in trouble.

I can take this to another thread if I need to. The code suggestion didn't work as anticipated. I probably did something wrong although I thought all I did was copy over what was there with the new code. Now there's no link at all to the forums on the store site.

I don't know. Maybe I should just reinstall everything.


I have the forums at this URL:
http://theillusioner.com/forums/

I have the store at this URL:
http://theillusioner.com/store/

I have this in the configure.php file:

  define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', 'forums/');

What version of phpbb do you have??

[TheIllusioner]

Yeah, that would be helpful to know. Sorry for not including that previously.

phpBB 3.0.5

I believe that's the latest version. Did I miss something obvious?

Leave the configure as is for it is correct for where you have this but get this for phpbb3.x and review thread

I had to define mine
define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', /../'phpbb/');
to get it to work properly on my site

if you are using godaddy you may have to do the same
