Thread: Help with publishing folder

Hello everyone. I have a BV account and my site is at http://www.elitegamersonline.com

I used fantastico to create a forum for me and then I imported the site with Bluevoda and added my own banners and whatnot. Now I need to publish it but I do not know what to put in the folders line to get it to publish to the forum, I don't want it to publish to my homepage.

If anyone can help I will be very greatful.

you shouldput public_html/forumfolder whereas forum folder id the folder where you installed the foru, but please explain what are you trying to do by importing and modifying and publishing the forum page?

I was just adding my own logo to the forums on the page. It had a logo up there for me at the top but it was not very good looking. Basically just said my sites name but not a real logo at all. So I just wanted to add my own there to make it look better.

Your awsome. Your also my new hero.

Any idea why none of my sites work exept for my main page? All my fantastico installed pages give me some error about too many connections. But noone knows my site exept me.

Well, i'm not a Forum script specialist but i'm almost quite sure that you can't do it this way. Racefan20 might be able to tell us. From what i know these scripts have standard templates an editing them is a bit hard. Then, these templates are resizable, and this is definetely something BV can't do

Oh, well I hope I did not mess anything up then. I did not change anything around on the forums exept my logo and it just let me publish it after you told me what to do. Hope I'm not doomed.

I just gave a look at your site and the directory comes up, this is because you have not yet published your index page. And you have installed practically a whole library in there! Anyway, start by publishing the index page, and go on from there

Can I re-publish it as often as I need to? I have a general layout done but it's not perfect yet. I'll publish it right now, take another look.

Or not, it gave me some internal error when I tried to publish it. That's weird.

You can republish as often as you like. I'll have a look after 5 minutes, then i'll sign off.

Yep, Internal Error 12002

Timed out

Just try again

Yeah I'm reading something else you posted on fixing the problem, gonna try the pixel resizer and whatnot before I go getting all worked up.

Thanks for your help sir. You said you wanted to log off so I don't want to keep you, take care.

Ok, see you around

I notice that you install 2 forum:http://www.elitegamersonline.com/forum with phpbb and http://www.elitegamersonline.com/forum2 with smf, may i know which one you want to use and which one you want to edit?
for phpbb if you only want to change the logo with your own logo in the same theme (sub silver), the easiest way is named your own logo as logo_phpBB.gif and then upload to public_html/forum/templates/subSilver/images .
the same for smf, named your own logo as smflogo.gif and upload to the images directory of the theme you use

I wanted to change the background to white also, so it matches my logo. Do you know any way to do that without having to use bluevoda?
Thanks for your help guys.

forum looks can not be changed with bluevoda,
to change some colour such as fonts colour, board etc you can do it in admin area. but the easy way i would do is download other people theme then change the logo, you can find many theme ready to install in www.phpbb.com and www.simplemachines.org . i still don't know if you will use phpbb, smf or both of them.
