Integrating webwiz forums in a website that does not use frames used to be simple in version 7x but now it is difficult as more files got added and the skin file has changed in version 8. How do I integrate WWF v8 into my website which does not use framesQuestion There is a site navigation menu at the top as well as on the left-hand side, and I want to include both navigation menus within the forum,  just like the webwiz guide website.

The header.asp and footer.asp files used in version 7 for integration are the same in version 8.

I've not changed the header and footer files for the forum on this site since version 6.

The only difference is that to change the look of the actual forum tables etc. is now done through CSS files, this is a much simpler and more powerful way of doing it. Just edit the files in the css_styles' directory.

Thanks, you are right. I was confused at first because I saw that many files got added in the includes folder... but after reading your reply I went ahead and tried again with a different method and I got it:

Borg, the oversized image doesn't destroy the page!!!! Clap

Thank you for that feature! Thumbs Up

As an admin, that's less images I have to delete for being oversized!

And you even made its so that the text still broke at the right spot.  Very impressed!

It was a nightmare getting the CSS that does this to play ball in all browsers, as Safari on the MAC did some strange things, but I hope that it's finally OK for all browsers.

In case you need something like this for anything you do you set the table layout to fixed then use a div tag with an overflow on it:-

style="table-layout: fixed;"
style="float:left; overflow:auto;"
