We originally setup EE as only forums (forums.domain.com) with plans to start up a blog at a later time.  We have now setup a blog (blog.domain.com) and the index.php and path.php in the blog subdomain are displaying everything correctly, but the links are wrong.

All the links generated from the templates (ex {path={my_template_group}/rss_2.0}) are http://forums.domain.com/template/rss_2.0 instead of blog.domain.com

I’ve read the docs and know that path= gets info from the general config.  But how can I get the path set in the weblog config (blog.domain.com)?

Dewey, you need to reset the URL to the root directory of your site found in Admin ›  System Preferences ›  General Configuration.

Does that help?

no, because now all the links at forums.domain.com are pointing to blog.domain.com

In that case, do the following:

Set up a global variable called blog_site.

In it put http://www.example.com/index.php using your actual path to your main site.

Then create a test template like this:

Example template for weblog entries.

Where templategroup/template is the path to your actual template group.

Or in your case:

Make sense?

NOTE: If your site works without index.php, you change {blog_site} to http://www.example.com and take out the / between {blog_site} and {my_template_group}.

Another option is to set the URLs via path.php for your blog subdomain; that will over-ride your general settings and be domain specific.

Thank you lisa, that worked perfectly!

Glad that got things working.  We good to close this one out, or are there any lingering issues?
