This is how I did it.

When installing, I unzipped everything into a subdir called 'b2' and set up my blog-calling page (index.php) in the root dir (http://mydomain.com).

Then, there were some errors. So, I (finally) wrote down what I did to fix them and there's not a whole lot you need to do. Thought I'd post them here for future reference.

b2config.php - Line 35
Change
Code:
$pathserver = 'http://mydomain.com/';
to
Code:
$pathserver = 'http://mydomain.com/b2';


b2config.php - Line 172
Change
Code:
$smilies_directory = 'http://mydomain.com/b2-img/smilies';
to
Code:
$smilies_directory = 'http://mydomain.com/b2/b2-img/smilies';


b2archives.php - Line 5
Change
Code:
include_once("./b2config.php");
to
Code:
include_once("b2config.php");


b2comments.php - Line 49
Change
Code:
<form action="b2comments.post.php" method="post">
to
Code:
<form action="b2/b2comments.post.php" method="post">


index.php (or whatever your blog thingy is) - Wherever the b2 loop is
Change
Code:
<?php include ("b2comments.php"); ?>
to
Code:
<?php include ("b2/b2comments.php"); ?>


index.php (or wherever you want it) - Wherever you include archives
Change
Code:
<?php include("b2archives.php") ?>
to
Code:
<?php include("b2/b2archives.php") ?>


I think that's it Smile At least, it's working for me Smile

One simple way to do the same thing would be to "embed" the main b2 file, index.php, in an inline frame, although I haven't tried it myself.

I just moved the whole encilada, all b2 files, from root to another dir. Do I hafta change anything then? Or would that work as normal?

Old url was http://tronderfan.blogon.com and the new one is http://tronderfan.blogon.com/vault/b2

What do you think?

You have to change the value for $pathserver as well as the variable for smilies in b2config.php. Other than those, I don't think you have to change anything else.

Hey Nessa,
I installed my b2 today and tried what you said and it didn't work. Will I have any problems if I just make the index page in the root directory auto-redirect to the index page in the b2's folder? I will have to also put any pages in that folder that will have the b2 code in it as well right? For example, if I have a different layout for a blog page I would call it blog.php and have to put it in the b2 folder.

Thanks for your help! Smile Smile

I have done all of the above, and so far everything works, except for the archives.php file.

Fatal error: Failed opening required '.b2config.php' (include_path='') in /home/public_html/news/b2archives.php on line 5

How to fix?

If you look at that line 5, it will probably have something like ". . . include . . ." Insert the directory name that b2 is stored in front of the inclusion.

No no no! Do try to keep frames to an absolute minimal, only use them if you absolutely must. They're bad form and have many draw backs.

Uhh, to your standards, Eric. Some people love i/frames and some don't. It's a matter of preferences.

More problems. Now there is an error on line 6.

Fatal error: Failed opening required './b2-includenews/b2functions.php' (include_path='') in /home/joshuasp/public_html/news/b2archives.php on line 6.

I don't think these instructions are at all compatible with the newest version of b2. Would someone mind installing a fresh b2, latest version, and re-working this hack to be compatible with it?

"/b2-includenews/" should be "b2-include/news/". Check your path.

There aren't any files with that path in it. That is most likely a function of the program, because I didn't modify that line.

If you read the error carefully, it says the error occurred at line 6 in b2archives.php file.

Copy line 1 to about 10 and paste them here, so we can see what's wrong.
