    Posted: 15 March 2003 at 3:31am

Two questions.

First: The doc file on integrating the forum into a web site states that three files need to be edited. But it names only two: header & footer. Presumably there's a third file for integrating the navigation bar? What is it?

Second: Is there any way to force the forum pages into a table on an existing page? I hate to break from the overall design of my site, which uses all 4 sides of a central table for different things...

Thanks for your help.

John

you need to edit forum/admin/sql_server_connection.asp to add the details of your sql server connection.

About the 2nd question yes it's possible, just like this site does it.

Thanks for your response, but I think you didn't understand.

I'm talking about integrating design, not databases. The third file mentioned in the docs on how to do this, I believe, is supposed to let me use a left side nav bar. But there's no indication what the third file might be. I don't think it has anything to do with the connection.asp file you mention.

Which brings me to the second point: because the third file mentioned in the doc files is not named I don't understand how this site does it. Hence this post.

It should read two files, it's a miss-print in the documents from a time when there was three files along time ago.

Simply you change the header and footer files to place the forum in a table around your design.

For example the header file starts the table and the footer file closes it, this is how this site does it using multiple tables.

The simplest way to do it is make a template of your page with a space where you want the forum to be, then place the part before the forum in the header and the part after in the footer.

Aha... Interesting solution. I'll try it out. Thanks a lot!

And thanks, too, for your great work. I've been looking for the right forum for months and this seems to be perfect.

I really must take the time to read things more carefully  It was driving me nuts. The explanation seemed so simple but I just didn't get it and then aha!!!

I must have reread this post ten times before I actually saw the part I was missing...
