| Oh I see yes. This is becasue the width of the forum table is only 95% of the available space. Gonna need changes to a lot of files to sort that out I'm afraid.< |

I may be stupid, but I have had two goes at implementing this mod on the latest clean version of the forum, and run into the same issue each time.
At the start of the instructions, it says "copy these files into the forum directory" - I did that.
It then says " In admin options, select "mod setup", Select " Site integration ...." from drop down box and click update.
I assume this means that I restart the forum, log in as the administrator, go to admin options and click the MOD setup link? However, I then wait about 5 minutes as the dbs-integration.asp runs, but no drop down box appears - in fact, nothing seems to have changed.
Am I doing something wrong at this early stage of the upgrade?

Steve,
The steps sounds right.
First verify that the .ASP file that starts with DBS_ really has been placed in your forum directory. It is info from this file that will be shown in the drop-down box.
You could also try to run the Alternate Mod Setup. This presents a window where you can paste the actual statements of your DBS-file.< |
kind regards

First, **great** MOD in general, D3mon.
I'm having some problems with getting the integration to work the way I want it to for my site. (Everyone is very particular about their own peculiar layout, right?)
I saw a post in another forum about how to integrate with my site's CSS, but I don't seem to have any luck with that.
Basically, all the changes from your install instructions work ok, but I have the following characteristics of my site that I'd like to remain consistent:
1. I have a .css file that I use on every page. I tried modifying the lines in inc_header.asp -- around line #263 - but so far I get only errors. I tried inserting some html to include my style sheet right above the line that starts with:
"<style type=""text/css"">" & vbNewLine & _
My server returns errors (500, I think). Could this be due to the fact that the html for the stylesheet has quotation marks? The line from my other pages is the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/cw2.css">
2. Related to this (and this is mostly because I relied heavily on tables for site layout when I started my site), I have an overall table structure for my site, so it looks like my inc_header.asp file might need to have <table><tr><td> in it, with the </table><tr><td> in the inc_footer.asp file. You've said that this is a bad idea in your installation readme, I think, but I can't figure out a way to avoid it, since every other page on my site relies on a table stucture to define the overall page.
2(B). Would it make any difference if I modified my overall site design to rely on <div> tags instead of <table> tags? I would still probably need the <div> in the inc_header.asp file and the </div> tag in the inc_footer.asp file, so I don't know why it would help. But my newer designs on other sites use <div> instead of <table> tags (both have classes defined in the CSS file).
3. OK, I'm stretching on this one, but all this made me think of a suggestion for a future site integration MOD. Can you think of a way to "abstract" a CSS element, so that the Admin options included a parameter for the css file? The part that I can't figure out what to recommend is what to do with all the current admin options for font, backgrounds, etc. Normally, I'd want those set in the CSS file, but I can see how Snitz would want to have unique parameters for the style of the forum elements (like the background of a topic title, for example). So, whatever you decide is appropriate would be more than I could figure out, I'm sure. Anyway, it would be nice to have a more explicit way to integrate with a site's CSS file, since more and more sites are using CSS.
Thanks!

I have a suggestion for documentation for the overall Snitz Forums application, which would really help with site integration:
Could someone create a "map" showing how all the various asp files are related? One of the posts in this forum mentioned that one file was included in another, and so on, but that would be really helpful to know for all the files. I know that's not really in the scope of this MOD, but at the same time, it seems to me it would relate mostly to figuring out site integration issues, as well as other MODS.
No hurry on this one, just a thought.
Thanks,< |

with an empty inc_site_right.asp file then the right hand side will not take up any space at all.
If I'm reading you right you want the forums to be the same width at the header and footer widths, so you'll need to edit inc_header,asp and set the width of the forums to 100% (instead of the standard 95%)< |

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm rather clueless and would hate to break something that works ;-)
Any risk at implementing this on Snitz forums running with SQL Server?< |

Ok took the plunge !
The good news is that sticking the "include" code of my portail <!-- #include file='includes/includes-inc.asp' --> in the header and
<!-- #include file='includes/toppage-inc.asp' --> in left
<!-- #include file='includes/bottompage-inc.asp' --> in right
works pretty well http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/default.asp?group=2 !
A few questions:
1. How can I set the width of the main forum area - problem affects default.asp and the first page of a topic, not subsequent pages?
2. How would I go about removing the "bold" in the forum area?
3. How can I remove the logo? putting nothing in the admin section for the logo creates an error - answer here
4. How would I go about putting the registration area in the bottom of the forums? Maybe with a redirect at the top. That would make for better integration I think.
Thanks for this great mode anyway!
There seem to be some issues/conflicts with this code as the browser is complaining that the HTTP headers have already been sent or something like that:
<%
if Session(strCookieURL & "Approval") <> "15916941253" then
scriptname = split(request.servervariables("SCRIPT_NAME"),"/")
Response.Redirect "admin_login.asp?target=" & scriptname(ubound(scriptname))
end if
%>
In all the admin pages so I have to disable the MOD to access the admin section :-( I guess it's conflicting with the site's (useless!) login...< |
