Thanks for the reply.
OK here goes. I assume that the "include" goes into (in my case) portal.php?
I have put form.php in the same directory as portal.php, and the start of the portal.php coding now looks like this:
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = './';
$album_root_path = $phpbb_root_path . 'album_mod/';
include($phpbb_root_path . 'form.php');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'fetchposts.'.$phpEx);
include_once($phpbb_root_path.'includes/functions_color_groups.'.$phpEx);
include_once ($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/news.' . $phpEx );
include_once ($phpbb_root_path . 'pafiledb/includes/pafiledb_constants.' . $phpEx );
//
// Start session management
//
$userdata = session_pagestart( $user_ip, PAGE_INDEX, $session_length );
init_userprefs($userdata);
I have tried to keep in line with the other "includes" on this page. Can you please confirm if I have done this right?
So how do I now call the form up in the template file - /template/theme/portal_body.tpl ?
<table cellpadding="4"><tr><td>
<p align="center"><b>Calling all Birmingham Speedway Fans!</b></p>
<p align="justify">Ever sat at home or at work wondering if the meeting will be on or off? Then
worry no more. Just fill in the form on this page to receive a text message from
the stadium on the day of the meeting to let you know what the state of play is.

By the way, here is the form in it's "naked" state - http://www.brummiesfans.com/forum/form.php
and here is an idea of how I want it to look when the project is finished - http://www.brummiesfans.com/forum/portal_text.php
Thanks again.
