Zen + PHPBB frustrating problem

[DrByte]

/includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/information.php
change this:

// Forum (phpBB) link:
  if ( (isset($phpBB->phpBB['db_installed_config']) && $phpBB->phpBB['db_installed_config']) && (isset($phpBB->phpBB['files_installed']) && $phpBB->phpBB['files_installed'])  && (PHPBB_LINKS_ENABLED=='true')) {
    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($phpBB->phpBB['phpbb_url'] . FILENAME_BB_INDEX, '', 'NONSSL', false, '', true) . '" target="_blank">' . BOX_BBINDEX . '</a>';
// or: $phpBB->phpBB['phpbb_url'] . FILENAME_BB_INDEX
// or: str_replace(str_replace(DIR_WS_CATALOG, '', DIR_FS_CATALOG), '', DIR_WS_PHPBB)
  }

to whatever you want your direct link to be, perhaps:

    $information[] = '<a href="http://YOUR_SITE.COM/forum" target="_blank">' . BOX_BBINDEX . '</a>';

Well kinda worked like a charm... My links to the forum in the side box shows the correct address now, however my link in the site map still shows the

http://bookofshadows.com/zenshop//forum/index.php as the link

/includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/information.php
change this:

// Forum (phpBB) link:
  if ( (isset($phpBB->phpBB['db_installed_config']) && $phpBB->phpBB['db_installed_config']) && (isset($phpBB->phpBB['files_installed']) && $phpBB->phpBB['files_installed'])  && (PHPBB_LINKS_ENABLED=='true')) {
    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($phpBB->phpBB['phpbb_url'] . FILENAME_BB_INDEX, '', 'NONSSL', false, '', true) . '" target="_blank">' . BOX_BBINDEX . '</a>';
// or: $phpBB->phpBB['phpbb_url'] . FILENAME_BB_INDEX
// or: str_replace(str_replace(DIR_WS_CATALOG, '', DIR_FS_CATALOG), '', DIR_WS_PHPBB)
  }

to whatever you want your direct link to be, perhaps:

    $information[] = '<a href="http://YOUR_SITE.COM/forum" target="_blank">' . BOX_BBINDEX . '</a>';

Then you can change that link in the tpl_site_map_default.php template file, after making a copy of it in your custom template override folder.
