Hi,

I've already got a website built and I'd like to integrate this forum into one of my pages however, I would like to keep all of the forum files in the seoboard folder.  So, I've altered the header and footer of the seoboard so there are no html tags, I've added the javascript and css links to my page and changed the folder structure.  I have also updated the index page of the seoboard so that the "requires" are re-mapped.  Then, on my page, I've tried to use a php include that points to seoboard/index.php but I get this error: FATAL ERROR: File not found mainguestnavigation.  Will I have to change a lot more code in order for this to work?  Should I just move all the files to the same location as my original page instead?

Thanks,
Dana

It depends. I suggest that the easiest way to do it is to actually integrate your website into the board. Just edit the templates to match your site. The way the board works makes your solution difficult, because the code of the board does not work well when there is html outputted before the code of the board executes on a page.

Ok thanks.  I transferred all of the seoboard files into the same location as my forum page and then just edited the mainheader.htm and mainfooter.htm files in the skin folder and that worked fine.

thanks.
