How to change URL slug for "forum"

[zlitz]

Hey guys I just wanted to know if any of you know how to change the URL slug "forum". I currently host my IPS forum on a /forum URL to my main domain so it creates two "forum"  when clicking a category

I imagine this would require significant code modifications. I unfortunately don't have an answer for that, sorry!

Ah gottcha! Figured I'd ask

You can change the FURL's via the ACP.

Search FURL in the ACP, then click "[System] Customize Friendly URLs".

@zlitz: Then search the FURLs for 'forum' in the "Search Friendly URLs" box. You can then tweak the default URL for the forums' app. Just keep in mind you will most likely require editing the topic URL and others.

I have mine set to something different.

If this doesn't work, there's another trick, but it involves resetting all your existing changes, but I assume you haven't added any.

Nice Joey, thanks for the help!

I have a feeling this isn't what I am meant to do

I don't see your default forum URL in this screenshot.

Have you already tried to change it? The Real URL would be "app=forums&module=forums&controller=index"

If you would like, I wouldn't mind taking a look for you?

PM your URL and ACP creditials, I'll take a look and hopefully sort it out for you.
