Hello,
I just installed the latest version of the forum on my site and was surprised at how easy it was. ASP is so much easier to set up than Perl. This looks to be a great forum. Open source is the way to go isn’t it?
Now to my problem... I would like to integrate the forum into my site so that the forum pages have the same left nav and header as the rest of my site. I've searched for info on this and have not been able to find any whether it is possible or not.
A little background... I use Dreamweaver to edit my site and an msSQL database for the forum. My main site URL is: http://www.khazargems.com and the link to my new forum is: http://www.khazargems.com/community .
I've installed a Portal mod (CMS?) thinking this would help, but think I just went sideways here. Any ideas? Someone must have done this already.
Thanks,
Jim
PS: On another note, what is the best way to track usage statistics (number of visitors, what threads they are reading, spiders, etc)?

| Check Snitzbitz for the Site Integration MOD. It'll do exactly what you're asking for. |

muzishun,
Thanks. That is exactly what I needed. Can someone help point me in the right direction now?
If I am correct, the module that actually prints the head and body tag is the inc_header.asp. I would like to add this:
leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" onLoad="MM_preloadImages('/images/tabov.gif' ..more.. "
When I look at it in the file, I am getting confused with all the """. Can someone help translate this? Do I need to just triple all the quote symbols?
Also, what about the java script for the roll over images? Can I just include it in inc_header.asp, or is there something I need to do there also?

If you post the full line that you have a question about, I can format it to work with the forum code. Basically, you just double all quotes.
i.e.
leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" .... leftmargin=""0"" topmargin=""0""
If you're using variables, which it doesn't seem like you're doing, you need to have the same "" "" around the variable, but also " & & ", so it looks like this:
leftmargin=""" & lmar & """ topmargin=""" & tmar & """
Hope that helps. |

Thanks again Bill. I'll try to do it myself and if I have trouble, I'll post the entire line. I kind of thought that was what was needed to be done.
As far as the java roll over script that needs to be put in the head of the page, can I just copy the code into it, or do I need to format it with some kind of "write", "print", etc? I might be able to figure it out for myself; however, because there is some code there that is being written into the head that I may be able to copy. If I can't, I'll post some of the code like I did above so that you can show me.
Thanks again,
|

| No problem. For the jscript stuff, find the current scripts that are in the head tags right now. There should already be a couple. Format yours the same way. |

OK. I guess I'm not up to this today. I took a look and am all confused again. So that I can learn, what is wrong?
"<body" & strTmpPageBGImageURL & " bgColor=""" & strPageBGColor & """ text=""" & strDefaultFontColor & """ link=""" & strLinkColor & """ aLink=""" & strActiveLinkColor & """ vLink=""" & strVisitedLinkColor & "" leftmargin=""0"" topmargin=""0"" marginwidth=""0"" marginheight=""0"" onLoad=""MM_preloadImages('/images/tabov.gif','/images/menu/storev.gif','/images/menu/cartov.gif','/images/menu/orderstatusv.gif','/images/menu/searchov.gif','/images/menu/affiliatesov.gif','/images/menu/contactov.gif','/images/menu/about_usv.gif','/images/menu/mining_alexandritev.gif','/images/menu/auctionsv.gif','/images/menu/color_change_gemsv.gif','/images/menu/custom_jewelryv.gif','/images/menu/store_policiesv.gif','/images/menu/faqv.gif','/images/menu/gemnewsv.gif','/images/menu/loose_gemsv.gif','/images/menu/cutting_alexandritev.gif','/images/menu/cutting_alexandritev.gif','/images/menu/orderstatusv.gif','/images/menu/color_and_gemstonesv.gif')""">" & vbNewLine & _
Here is what it looks like now:
"<body" & strTmpPageBGImageURL & " bgColor=""" & strPageBGColor & """ text=""" & strDefaultFontColor & """ link=""" & strLinkColor & """ aLink=""" & strActiveLinkColor & """ vLink=""" & strVisitedLinkColor & """>" & vbNewLine & _
and here is what I need to put in:
leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" onLoad="MM_preloadImages('/images/tabov.gif','/images/menu/storev.gif','/images/menu/cartov.gif','/images/menu/orderstatusv.gif','/images/menu/searchov.gif','/images/menu/affiliatesov.gif','/images/menu/contactov.gif','/images/menu/about_usv.gif','/images/menu/mining_alexandritev.gif','/images/menu/auctionsv.gif','/images/menu/color_change_gemsv.gif','/images/menu/custom_jewelryv.gif','/images/menu/store_policiesv.gif','/images/menu/faqv.gif','/images/menu/gemnewsv.gif','/images/menu/loose_gemsv.gif','/images/menu/cutting_alexandritev.gif','/images/menu/cutting_alexandritev.gif','/images/menu/orderstatusv.gif','/images/menu/color_and_gemstonesv.gif')">
Yeah! The java script was much easier. My first try didn't work. I forgot about doubling the " symbols.

Try this:
"<body" & strTmpPageBGImageURL & " bgColor=""" & strPageBGColor & """ text=""" & strDefaultFontColor & """ link=""" & strLinkColor & """ aLink=""" & strActiveLinkColor & """ vLink=""" & strVisitedLinkColor & """ leftmargin=""0"" topmargin=""0"" marginwidth=""0"" marginheight=""0"" onLoad=""MM_preloadImages('/images/tabov.gif','/images/menu/storev.gif','/images/menu/cartov.gif','/images/menu/orderstatusv.gif','/images/menu/searchov.gif','/images/menu/affiliatesov.gif','/images/menu/contactov.gif','/images/menu/about_usv.gif','/images/menu/mining_alexandritev.gif','/images/menu/auctionsv.gif','/images/menu/color_change_gemsv.gif','/images/menu/custom_jewelryv.gif','/images/menu/store_policiesv.gif','/images/menu/faqv.gif','/images/menu/gemnewsv.gif','/images/menu/loose_gemsv.gif','/images/menu/cutting_alexandritev.gif','/images/menu/cutting_alexandritev.gif','/images/menu/orderstatusv.gif','/images/menu/color_and_gemstonesv.gif')"">" & vbNewLine & _ |
