Change the base default URL in Joomla 1.5

[Juan Lago]

Sometimes we want put a index.html file with a flash intro or other stuff with a link to the joomla index.php.

But we have a little problem in Joomla with the default base URL or "Home" option because Joomla convert http://[ourhost]/index.php into http://[ourhost] and the webserver retrieve us index.html again.

The solutions is change the file modules/mod_mainmenu/helper.php

Change the next line:

Code: Select all

$tmp->url = JURI::base();

for this

Code: Select all

$tmp->url = 'index.php';

And now the "Home" option come back to index.php and not index.html
