Ideally I would like to incorporate the forums directly into a site template. If this is not possible, how can I wrap my sites look and feel around snitz?
First of all, be very careful with using WYSIWYG editors. They're known to sometimes mess up the code of the Snitz forums.
I haven't tried using DreamWeaver templates at all so I can't help you with that. And making the forums look like a part of the site depends on the way you built your site. If you could provide a link to your site we can give you some pointers. Otherwise it's pretty difficult to tell you what to do and where to do it .
but ignoring my design for a moment what I am trying to do is embed the forum directly into a page on my site. I'd like to do this without the use of frames or any other "tricks". I included a mock-up link showing what I mean.
No, The mock-up does not work. The default.asp does. I stayed up late last night and figured out how to hand code it using inc_top and inc_footer. While it works it was a pain to hand code since my site has so many nested tables. I'm still wondering if there is an easier way? Any creative ideas?
Unfortunatley, you will have to edit top_inc and footer_inc to really make it look like your site. Unless you want to use frames, which I gather you don't. What I suggest you do is modify inc_top and basically break it up so that you can use part of it on all your pages and add it to all your pages and the forum pages, then everything will look the same.
The best way to make it look the same if you plan on using a side nav menu is incorporate it all into a table. And the main part of the forum will fall into a table cell.
Yeah, that's what I ended up doing..it was just such a pain. I wish there was an easier way. Looks like it's time for me to work on my first Dreamweaver Mod!
