Basically, the forum sits between header.asp and footer.asp so if you start a table in header.asp, and close it in footer.asp, the forum is within a table. Adding rows before and cells on either side of the cell the table is in will give you as many headers and sidebars as you want.

at the end of includes/header.asp, put
<table width="98%">
   <tr width="100%>
      <td align="center" colspan="3"><h1>Stuff For the Header</h1></td>
   </tr>
   <tr width="100%>">
      <td valign="top" width="10%"><h3>Left Side Column Stuff</h3></td>
      <td>

Then at the beginning of includes/footer.asp, put
  </td>
   <td> valign="top" width ="10%"><h3>Right Side Column</h3></td?
</tr>
</table>


The forum will sit in the table cell that's started in header.asp (<td>) and closed in footer.asp {</td>). You can add or delete elements within that table to suite your layout.

Regarding the table backgrounds... the file includes/skin_file.asp allows you to set either background colors or table images for various table elements.

Hi dpyers
 
Thanks for the info, greatly appreciate it. As for the graphical site, the layout is all tables with images as backgrounds etc, so it is really hard to just plug in. I will have a try at it though, as I would rather just plug things in than have to try and work things around.
 
As to the other site, could you explain the approach that you are getting at, as the major problem is that if I used the forum as is, how woudl it handle the double header markers etc from the main site? I'm sure that you when explain it, I will end up going duh, and slapping myself on the forehead Smile.
 
Thanks
DM

Integrating WWF in a site is relatively simple. It the forum is contained within a table that's opened in header.asp and closed in footer.asp. Adding a couple of rows and columns will get you headers, footers, and sidebars that you can sylye as you like. I've lso used it in a site where the layout was just css with wwf in the middle.

If, by graphical environment, you mean flash, you could embed the forum within it, but it would be one heck of a large plugin - lol.

Borg would be the person to answer the meat tag question, but he's a pretty reasonable guy.

Hi All
 
I have a couple of questions.
 
I am in the process of developing a couple of web sites, and I would like to know some things.
 
The first site needs to have a forums built into it but it already has a working system with access etc, they are just looking for a plug in forum, and as such things like headers and footers are already built in and I just need to plug the Forum into the running enviroment, obviously I would have to move the license linkbacks etc into their headers to make sure that they conform to the web wiz license. The question I have is woudl web wiz be good for an enviroment like this, or would it be better to search for another forums system (asp) that could be hacked to work? The second web site is similar, but it has a graphically enviroment, so I would  require reworking the entire system to make it fit, and again woudl web wiz be fine for this? Also if it is fine what version would be the best to start looking at v7.X or v8?
 
The last question I have revolves around the meta tag in the header. I have a corprate client that has some really strict and in some cases silly rules about meta tags that are embedded into their web sites, and as such I would like to know if there is a possibility to remove them in such away that would not vialate the license agreement?
 
Thanks for any help on this.
