Up til Now I was busy with my test installation and I just became addicted to XOOPS ;)

What I m trying to do is .... I m going to install XOOPS to my main site at "mydomain.com/xoops" But I want that if user type "mydomain.com" in address bar thy get the main XOOPS page. But the address bar should display "mydomain.com" instead of "mydomain.com/xoops"

In short I just want to hide the actual location of the XOOPS install. And I guess its possible coz I saw this on a site
Power Dreams

Interestingly ... As long as u don’t use the right click and surf any page in the same window the Address bar always display "http://www.power-dreams.com"

I also want the same thing. Hopefully someone will help me here. I did try to search but was unable to get anything like this.

yeah our solution is quite simple

its a frame that calles the index.php from xoops

so our xoops-installation is in a subfolder and would not be nice to see that is it in a subfolder.

so we but a simple frame html file in the root folder that opens the index.php from XOOPS in a frame that is 100% big - so nobody will see that is it a frame.

Hi Everyone.

I was not around 4 sometime. That’s why I wasn't able to reply here.

First of all,
While doing a new installation of XOOPS with my new Host I encounter "Blank Page error" I spend almost a day to work it out but nothing happen. Then when I was about to lose all of my hopes, I found an amazing amazing article by "Max-Realms" HERE
and it really saved my life
Thanks Max Thanks a lot.

Now coming back to the thread, soon after the installation I applied this small Frame Trick. Suggested by Bandit and guess what? It works absolutely with no error.

Thanks Bandit, before your post, I absolutely have no idea what Frames can do (apart from this i think i still dont )

And at the end thanks to Krobi for looking into the thread here.
Karobi, although it’s working great. But do I need to modify anything else?? I mean just 3 lines of code is everything that I need??
