how do you intergrate the forum into your web site template like this forum has been intergrated into the style of the webwiz.net page template.

You edit the files header.asp and footer.asp found in the includes directory.

If you are using tables place the opening tags for the table in the header.asp file and the closing table tags in the footer.asp the forum will then be displayed in that table cell.

I am quite new to asp scripts so you I will need a little help. I know what you mean by the header and footer scripts but what do I actually type as a script on my templates to get the forum to show on my site.

My site is http://www.annfieldfootball.co.uk - http://www.annfieldfootball.co.uk

When I create a page for my forum and guestbooks I am going to merge the cells where the squad pic is and poll and place them in that cell.

Just place your standard HTML into these files, opening the table cell you want the forum in at the header and closing the table cell in the footer.

It's quite simple once you get started, just make a backup first incase you screw things up.

thanks - I got the guestbook to work fine but I am having problems with the forum. I get the message:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'

Variable is undefined: 'strTableVariableWidth'

Make sure you haven't deleted the link to the skin_file.asp include file that needs to be kept in the header.asp file just infront of the <head> tag eg:-

<script language="JavaScript" src="includes/default_javascript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<!--#include file="skin_file.asp" -->
</head>

Also make sure you keep the link to the default_javascript.js file in the header.asp file.
