You did that?

Code Download source

and in Control Panel/System Admin/Main Settings/Site opening page:

don't put anything, and save

and i discover is better to put a slash / because otherwise the center panel will display on all pages

Sorry for late response

Ok whats our domainname? so I can fix the file for you.
Do you have phpfusion in a separate dir folder? if not make a dir and put your phpfusion scripts there. The index.html file schuld be in your root dir.

Sorry M8 for being rude, I was in a bad mood yeasterday.
Plz try my example you dont have to delete anything. just make the file index.html and use the iframe tag to make a mirror at your site. it works.
The only thing you see is your domainname.com and nothing else.

The best of all is that you dont have to hack your phpfusion script.

Allright ill give it another try :D

edit: i got this again http://boomshaa.net/file/467.jpg

Maybe (!), you are talking about .htaccess URL rewriting??
If that's so check out this page to rewrite a single page like news.php:
http://www.iwebtool.com/htaccess_url_...rl_rewrite

Or this page for a longer introduction of how to do URL rewriting in .htaccess:
http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/siteman...iting.html

Also google for ".htaccess URL rewriting" or similar..

Ok tryed that and the news.php still remains :S and the login doesn't work then

Try this:
rename index.php to index2.php (just to keep it on the server for back-up)
on your local system rename news.php to index.php and upload it (now you have 2 identical php files: one called index.php, one called news.php, the last one you really need for the readmore stuff if your theme has not been modified to this new index stuff)

However: you can't use the opening page feature anymore since the original index.php redirects to the opening page and your new one won't, but the redirecting form the original index.php might just be the PR problem. (just guessing)

Plz don't tell it don't work: it's working just fine for me!

What is the difference?

Even if you have www.mydomain.com that is not running on php-fusion, the official home page is not www.mydomain.com. By default, the main page is www.mydomain.com/index.html (or .php) or www.mydomain.com/default.html (or .php).

It is not like you have to tell people that you want to visit your website that your domain is www.mydomain.com/news.php. They will still enter your site by going to www.mydomain.com.

Becuase it effects my current page rank, lol i just want somone to explain how to do it
