index.php in root, rest of site in subdirectory...

Our Dolphin site is in a subdirectory of our main domain. Our main domain has a permanent redirect to the Dolphin subdirectory, but of course this isn't liked by search engines etc

I do not wish to move the entire site to the root folder as there are too many customised full links now spread around with the subdirectory included, so I was wondering if it's possible to somehow put the index.php in our root folder and call the relevant files to construct the index page? I don't want a 'splash screen' with links to the actual index.php as our join form is on the front page to minimise clicks to join up.

I'm guessing this is a tricky one as the files called on are all in the subdirectory. Anyway, any suggestions? Thanks!

the answer would be Yes it could be done, its really pointless though. the site is configured to run the includes and requires of a dynamic site, these are all relevant to the site index or site root, header.inc.php which is the dominant file, pulls this altogether. i would say it would be more productive to move the site to root, edit your hard-coded URLS, which i dont know why you would have hard-coded URLS on a dynamic site.

I should've clarified - the links are, for example, for member blogs and groups which are all over the place on other social sites and search engines (with the subdirectory in the URL). All links on the site are relative to the Dolphin root.

I should point out the index page is very minimal anyway, click here. So it might not be too much of a hassle really I suppose. The only really necessary item is the join form - everything else could be recreated using HTML and unlinked to the actual Dolphin code. Urrrgh...
