phpBB3 Website Integration Framework | Whizby Basic

[guru2085]

i used this approach instead of the manual away on onther topic i was reading, however when i get to the screen that says your content here. am not sure what else to do. so it came to me to copy the overhead_html and footer_html from my phpbb3 installation, into the framework templates folder i think, and overwrite the one there. when i do that i see the forum came up. but layout don't look right. for instance like at the bottom of the phpbb3 layout. i have where i can click the administration link it shows up twice. and if i click an link in the forum it goes to an blank page. heres my folder structure my site is an joomla based site

Joomla 1.5.12

/joomla/
/joomla/phpbb3
/joomla/templates/ < in this folder i have the forum_fn.js, index_body.html, overall_footer.html, overall_header.html, styleswitcher.js, rt_affinity_j15 an so forth
joomla/theme/
/joomla/common.php
/joomla/config.php
/joomla/framework.php < change this from index.php to the given name

i already made the necessary changes to the config file to point to the folders. am stuck at the forum screen that shows your content here. when i click board index it takes me to my phpbb3 actual forum, but its not wrap in my joomla site. is there something else i should do. should i create an wrapper in joomla and wrap the forum and point the wrapper to the framework.php or am i missing some other steps now. thank you, and by the way i have rokbridge, how does this play with rokbridge. too

Hi I am having issues trying to link this to a theme.
Can someone explain to me how to link this to a different theme then the one that is defaulted with the install. I can't seem to figure it out for the life of me. As soon as I think I have it then my images in my theme folder do not work. Then I point to use a css file and I get some code at the top of the screen that I think is included in one of my other web pages and not this one.

I took the includes out for my css file. The site must be getting it from some other place. The one thing that seems to be missing now is all of my images.

CAN you elaborate on the steps you took to get your forum integrated in your site like that i have an joomla site and am trying to integrate my forum in the site. please can you provide steps on this...

Have a look for Joomla - phpBB 3.0.x bridges. Integrating those two are outside the scope of this package as you can't simply force Joomla to use phpBB session/user/permissions data and visa versa. The most commonly used bridges are probably the RokBridge and JFusion.

can someon provide how they got there forum integrated in there site. i have rokbridge in my site. but it doesn't make your forum visual integration. only sync info from and to joomla/phpbb3, i want to wrap my site around the forum tho. how can i achieve this with this package can some one elaborate. cause i have tried and failed as u can see above not sure if am doing the right thing

Its correct that the RokBridge provides only the technical integration in the back-end of the systems. For a visual integration you'll simply need the same style for both Joomla and phpBB, if you don't have the knowledge of how to edit the phpBB and/or Joomla styles you might want to have a look at the styles on rocketwerx as they provide styles for both phpBB and Joomla so you can have an easily visual intergration.

i don't want the styles that does solve my prob, i had one of there styels before when i clik the forum link on my site it takes me to the forum page. and not wrapped in my site. i want to have the forum wrapped in my site, as this phpb33 integration method was the closest i can get to wrapping my site. i just need assistant to know which part of the overall_header and overall_footer file that needs to be changed to get the site wrapped around the forum, thats why am here. i have rokbridge that will take care of the syncing for me. one last step left and to get forum in site.

For help on style integration please start a topic in the phpBB3 Styling Assistance forum as this topic is only mend to discuss the framework.

The frame work never really worked for me. I got it integrated anyway.
