tippy_102 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Are you using a cms or portal, or is it a home grown type site? Here is the phpBB Login integration tutorial: http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=143 Edit the phpBB overall_header.tpl: http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash-sod Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 Heres the site www.sodsquad.co.uk its not a portal though i would like to make it into a portal once i learn a bit more on programming. Do you know any portal programming tutorials? Also is there a way i could remove the login from the forums and just have it on the main site? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circpros Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 PHP_fetch_all is a script I've used to be able to do a portal of sorts. It allows you to syndicate virtually any forum data onto (an)other page(s) of your site. If all you're wanting to do is to be able to serve data from your forums onto other pages of your site and to be able to log in from the site home, PHP_fetch_all and the previously mentioned login mod will do what you're wanting. If you're wanting to fully port your forum, why not select one of the full portals that have already been written? I guess I'm not understanding what it is you're wanting that nuke or another portal wont do.... And you can always just skin your forum to look like your current site and add blank pages to your forum installation so that you can integrate static/informational pages (there are several mods to do it effectively). THe final suggestion would be what I'd probably do if the forum is the main drawing card for your site....... If you can clarify what it is you're hoping to accomplish, maybe I can be of assitance. I'm not a pro, but my thinking is regimented and I can read a manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
