Hi everybody!

Before XOOPS 2.0.7, I used to be able to shorten my start page urls from http://www.mysite.com/modules/news/ to simply
http://www.mysite.com/. I did that with this simple code in .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^$ /modules/news/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^index.php$ /modules/news/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^index.html$ /modules/news/index.php [L]


After upgrading to version 2.0.7 this code didn't work anymore. I understand that this is due to some security measures concerning the /modules/ folder.

Now I notice that two big XOOPS support sites have found a solution to this:

Xoops main site
https://xoops.org

Xoops France
http://www.frxoops.org/

Can anyone explain how these and other sites shorten their start page url's in XOOPS 2.0.7?

Thanks in advance!

Greets,

Jay Jay

xoops.org doesn't use a module for the front page - it's solely a number of blocks on the top page.

@ Mithrandir
Thanks for the quick answer! I didn't think of that myself I'll try it out sometime...

In the meantime has anyone found a solution to this .htaccess problem? I'm trying to remove the "modules/news" part from my site url.
