I am wanting to integrate a forum into a site
design (example: http://www.pointblankrecon.com/forum.html)
and am unsure how best to go about this?
Will it even fit within my design or will I have to modify
forum code to have smaller fonts and other things?
If it is possible, how best to integrate it into that page?
forum is at: http://www.pointblankrecon.com/bbs/default.asp
and I would be removing the whole header section of forum to
sit better into page I have built.
thanks for any help....

| it is possible, but a lot, I mean a lot of restructuring will have to occur. it is not something that someone can easily point out. you have to be very comfortable with the snitz code to begin with. sorry this is of no help, but just to let you know you'd have your work cut out for you. |

Dayve is correct, you won't want to do this yourself without a good understanding of the code.
But this MOD might get you started:
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=33757
Smaller fonts? That is in: Admin Section -> Font/Table Color Code Configuration |

so it wont be easy 
just what all might be involved with sticking the
forum within the 765 width table? What are my options
other than the site integration mod and what all would
it really do for me in this case?
Possible to use an <iframe> I suppose but I dont want
a scrollbar other than the browsers. Would it also be
possible to do an SSI call to insert it?
thanks for the replies so far and I dont suppose anyone
with heavy forum code knowledge would like to experiment
at doing this just to say "you did it" would you

the forum uses cookies and I believe using an iframe will screw that up, I know it does in regular frames. apparently cookies have changed the way they work in frames, now considered a microsoft feature  . |

thanks D3mon, I will try out your site integration
mod, btw, I did send you an email via this forum
regarding this and your mod but got no reply.
thanks for replying here though
Upon install I notice its named version 1.0 yet
your main post speaks of v1.1 being released.
How do I get v1.1 as I used your main threads
link to download this? Or am I ok with v1.0 ?
Installing into db showed 1.0, but admin area shows 1.1
now if I only knew what I was doing from here on out LOL

yes I think I will need some help, as it's close
but my design is up top and forum came out below
it, so I know I am missing somewhere/some way to
call the forum inside my tables.
I have AIM if you care to contact me

| Once you've got the MOD installed, you'll need to copy the code from the main web site into each of the extra inc_site_xxx files to create the top/left/right/bottom sections. Remember that you need to have complete tables in each section for it to work properly. |

Yes I got as far as putting my upper html into the
header file and lower html into the footer file.
I have no need for "right or left" at this point so
I have those 2 disabled.
this is what it produces  http://www.pointblankrecon.com/temp/integration_woops.html
(overlook the broken images, I didnt feel like editing paths)
I am having a brain lapse as to figuring out just how best
to make default.asp appear where I am needing it.
Am I missing to add an <!--#include file="default.asp"--> somewhere
to get it to appear within my table?

Oops, I though I had replied.
You're not putting the forums into a webpage, you're 'wrapping' your web page design around the forums, in the top,bottom,left and right includes.
It possible that this might mean some changes to the original HTML code that builds your page graphics.
It appears that this code builds your top logo:
<table align="center" width="765" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="106"><img src="new_images/header_1row_left.gif" width=106 height=21 alt=""></td>
<td width="639" background="new_images/header_1row_bg.gif"><img src="new_images/header_1row_bg.gif" width=40 height=21 alt=""></td>
<td width="20"><img src="new_images/header_1row_right.gif" width=20 height=21 alt=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="new_images/header_2row_left.gif" width=106 height=11 alt=""></td>
<td background="new_images/header_2row_bg.gif"><img src="new_images/header_2row_bg.gif" alt="" width=10 height=11 align="absmiddle"></td>
<td><img src="new_images/header_2row_right.gif" width=20 height=11 alt=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="new_images/header_3row_left.gif" width=106 height=3 alt=""></td>
<td background="new_images/header_3row_bg.gif"><img src="new_images/header_3row_bg.gif" width=40 height=3 alt=""></td>
<td><img src="new_images/header_3row_right.gif" width=20 height=3 alt=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><img src="new_images/mainlogo.gif" width=765 height=64 alt=""></td>
</tr>
</table> So copy that into your inc_site_top.asp file...

thanks for replying back, well that makes a
little more sense now and after trying it I
can sort of see how it may be possible.
In looking at the result, I am guessing that what
I am trying to do really cannot be done exactly
as I'd hoped.
I basically loose alot of the design other than the
top logo banner and it doesnt naturally just fit into
my table so that would require probably alot of modding
to the forum code.
thanks.... I guess if you have other ideas or see that
I am not realizing the bigger picture here, let me know

| You shouldn't need to loose any design characterisitics, just re-build some portions of it, so that it fits into the include files. |
