What have you done before the problem was there?
Nothing. It has always been this way except now the members and I have noticed it.

What have you already tryed to solve the problem?
As a newbie in this area I preferred not to mess until I knew what I was doing so nothing really.

Description and Message
Hi I have a forum running at the above url. Since it was installed for me a few months ago it's worked very nicely indeed ( Thankyou Christian ) however although I knew of this fault before I thought it didn't matter but now the forum has grown ( 5,000 posts in a couple of months)there is a need for it to work correctly and the members are asking questions lol.

The issue is on the main portal page and is with the latest posts display. Although you can see it offers pages 1 through 79 the only accesseble page is number 1. When I or anyone clicks on any other number then this error message comes up.:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The requested URL /forum/portal.php was not found on this server.

Now this is probably an easy answer and fix for you clever folk here at Board3 but when your as intellectually retarded as I am it's like mastermind

Could someone in the know possibly take a quick look for me and if it's a fix that the likes of myself ( very new to this whole forum thing) tell me what to do step by step or maybe even be so kind as to fix the issue for me.

The undying gratitude of myself and my forum will be offered for eternity or at least a big thankyou.

Thanks in advance guys you all do a great job and thanks for such a great portal.

Search through both /portal/block/news.php and portal/block/announcements.php and replace all iterations of with

Thanks for that Ice.

This will be my first time at anything like this so forgive me but I want to be sure I don't mess up.

I have taken a look at the news.php file and see that there are differing sections of the {$phbb_root}portal.$phpEx

such as "{$phpbb_root_path}posting.$phpEx" and others that contain view forum,viewtopic etc etc

Do I replace ALL of those various ones with "portal.$phpEx" ?

I.E there is no need for the posting,viewforum,view topic bit?

Thanks for bearing with me.

No, just replace the ones that specifically say

Code: Select all

{$phpbb_root_path}portal.$phpEx

Thanks for that. Good job I asked eh


Told you I was new to this

Many thanks for your help there Ice. I did my first bit of messing with parts I feared and it all went good. The problem is now fixed.

Great Job! Thankyou
