Remove /cms folder from the url

swarfega · Post by **swarfega** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 3:51 pm

My cmsms is installed in the folder /cms which currently shows on the website's url.

Id like to remove /cms folder from the url without having to relocate the entire cms to root and have all the current links reflect this.

So from website.com/cms to website.com.

Im using cmsms 1.10.3 with pretty urls.

Code: Select all

<__html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/cms" />

Website root in subfolder /cms/config.php

Thanks very much, appears to be working nicely

oops, spoke too soon. The article list on the right (http://thriplow.org.uk/news.thriplow) is not working.

I suspect I need to do something in htaccess.

Code must be good, at least it works at my website...

Perhaps double check config.php settings

The .htaccess and the index.html in the server root must only contain the code I posted above. (changed the text above)

config.php and the default CMSMS .htaccess are in the website root.

In CMSMS 1.10+ the config.php only need to contain:

Code: Select all

<?php
# CMS Made Simple Configuration File
# Documentation: /doc/CMSMS_config_reference.pdf
#
$config['dbms'] = '';
$config['db_hostname'] = '';
$config['db_username'] = '';
$config['db_password'] = '';
$config['db_name'] = '';
$config['db_prefix'] = 'cms_';
$config['db_port'] = 0;
$config['root_url'] = '';
$config['timezone'] = '';
$config['default_encoding'] = '';
?>

And perhaps the url rewrite lines.
Try to add # before the other lines in your config.php, might help.

Grtz. Rolf

index.html is exactly as you suggested but I cant reduce the other 2 files down to what you suggested as that would break the site in functionality and pretty urls.

Rolf · Post by **Rolf** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 12:54 pm

This really should work:

Server Root
File #1 .htaccess

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteBase /cms

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule !^cms(/?|/.+)$ /cms%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

File #2 index.html

Code: Select all

<__html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/cms" />
</head>
</__body>
<__body>
</__html>

Website Root
File #1 config.php

Code: Select all

...
...
$config['root_url'] = 'http://www.cmsmadesimple.org';
...
...
$config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';
$config['page_extension'] = '.thriplow';

File #2 .htaccess The default CMSMS file from /doc folder

Strange, Most of the site works, its just the links on the news summaries and the articles list that break.

Rolf · Post by **Rolf** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 1:53 pm

i use it in combination with cgblog. it works there....

swarfega · Post by **swarfega** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 2:17 pm

Would cgblog be better in my case than news module then?

Will I be able to do all the same things in my news page in cgblog?

swarfega · Post by **swarfega** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 3:01 pm

I just thought Id include my news summary template:

Code: Select all

<!-- End News Display Template -->

and heres the summary list template that produces the article lists:

Code: Select all

<ul class="lists">
{foreach from=$items item=entry} <!-- you need to know what entry means in the link below -->
<li><a href="{$entry->moreurl}" title="{$entry->title|cms_escape:htmlall}">{$entry->title|cms_escape}</a>
</li>
{/foreach}
</ul>

You might want to look into your news template...

Code: Select all

<img src="/cms/images/newsicons/page_green.png" border=0>

Some stuff is kind of hardcoded to an url inside the subfolder. If you did the same for links in some templates thats your problem

This is the place for you to start digging.

Grtz. Rolf

swarfega · Post by **swarfega** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 9:00 pm

I guess I could change that to: <img src="[[root_url]]/images/newsicons/page_green.png" border=0>
