THE Nemesis Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 HI all, I need some big help! I want my new phpbb3 forum to open in the centre section of my new website in the main page... Is it possible to do ? I have an old forum but it was already set up but havent got a clue how to do this one. This is my old original one that i want to mimic. http://online-gamers.forumr.net/forum.htm I need like a template that has main banner, sides for my widgets and centre section that changes depending on what links you click i;e gallery, calender, forum etc.. Id really appreciate any help.. if i could afford it id ask someone to do it for me but have like £20 to my name lol thanks Stuart Heres what i would like it to look like, the box in red is what changes when you click links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecopetition Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 If the bit in red is what changes then my best guess is they're using frames. However, if you go to the phpBB website you will probably find a module that will allow you to do that, if not specialist support to help you.

efficacious Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'm actually a big fan of PHPBB forum systems...One of the best in my opinion. You can do anything you want with that sytem..Its actually really easy to do what your wanting. You can either include your index.php file into a div located on your homepage. And use Ajax methods to refresh/change data. Or as Nemesis said you can use frames to put it in there. The easiest way is going to be using frames.. Just keep in mind you'll need to code the frame to be invisible so that means making the frames border non resizeable. And you'll also want to keep your border colors matching the background the frame will be incased in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delight Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Here's a solution I used in the past: <iframe src ="forum/index.php" name ="forum" width ="870px" height ="612" scrolling ="auto" align ="left" frameborder ="1"> </iframe> The forum folder is located in the root in this example.
