Help on my new domain

sweetangel · **Help on my new domain -** 12-12-2006, 02:20 AM

I'm not that familiar when in terms of managing domain names.
I just got my free domain here in ddboard.
I already have forwarded it to my site and also masked it out.
But my problem is how to show only the domain name above the address bar.
Like here in the forum its " Domain Discussion Board"

I want it like that. What happen to my site is this:

http://www.talkaboutprofit.com

I just want "Talk About Profit" above the address bar.

Please help.

The title of your site is independent of the domain name. I'm not sure but in your AdminCP for SMF you should find an option for setting the name/title of your forum. That should do it.

I already did that but it only applies to the name just below the menu
I want to change the one above the address bar which states like this:

http://www.talkaboutprofit.com - Mozilla Firefox

The one on the very top at the right

I want it to be just "Talk About Profit"

I don't have much experience with SMF but I'd just try to change the text within the title tags. At the moment its showing
<title>http://www.talkaboutprofit.com </title>

If you edit the text between the title tags to 'Talk About Profit' then you'll get what you want.

there is an option in the smf admin panel also. Check site settings and enter your site's name there

i think it's working fine now but beware of using frames it limits your search engine listing specially on google

the best is wherever you host monetaryjournal.com, in your cpanel there add talkaboutprofit.com as parked domain so whenever you open talkaboutprofit.com you see monetaryjournal.com then on monetaryjournal.com create a redirect page to monetaryjournal.com/forum/

Actually, I am still seeing the title as the URL, which is http://www.talkaboutprofit.com

yeah just change the <title> to what you want the title to be

Quote:

<html>

<head>
<title>http://www.talkaboutprofit.com </title>
<META name="description" content="Dicussions about hyip, autosurf and other investment programs online."><META name="keywords" content="hyip, hyip monitor, hyip investment, hyip loan surf, hyip directory, hyip ratings, hyip analysis, hyip compares, high yield investment program">
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
<frame src="http://www.monetaryjournal.com/forum/" frameborder="0" />
<frame frameborder="0" noresize />
</frameset>

change it to become

<title>Talk About Profit</title>

I'll try this one. But I don't get this one:

then on monetaryjournal.com create a redirect page to monetaryjournal.com/forum/

When I go to my control panel and on Parked Domains, it said:

Hint: Domains must be registered with a valid registrar before they can be parked. In addition, they will not be functional unless they are configured to point to our DNS servers.

How will I configure my domain to point to their DNS servers?
Please help..

I only have this in my index.template.php
