You need web parts to display anything on the portal. I read at a Sharepoint Forum that Snitz is the forum to use with SharePoint - but I still haven't figured out how it is done??
Searching means searching through both documents on the Portal and entries in the forum.
I hadn't heard about Microsoft Sharepoint Portal before but if they have forums and suggest using Snitz, you might want to ask there how it's done if nobody here knows the answer.
To integrate Snitz in Sharepoint Portal Server (SPS) do this:
You need to be logged in as Coordinator in your SPS portal Click: Content > Add New Web part > we'll call it MyForum Check "display this web part in a frame" If you want you can set a fixed height/width "Type of content" is HTML Check "Get content from the following link" and insert the url to your Snitz forum.
