Ading an Include via FCKEditor

Post by okparrothead »

Hello,

I'm new to this forum, so if I've posted to the wrong place, please advise.

I've installed a script along with CMSMS and I want to use a PHP inlcude to wrap the remote page in one of my own.

I tried adding the include using the FCKEditor in the source window, but the changes don't take. Am I doing this wrong or is this prohibited for some reason?

Thanks for any help you can give me,

sawz, you can't really include PunBB forums on a page. the module is 'not that integrated' ;-) However you can add a link to the forum index and then style the forum like your website. I've done this on my sons World Of Warcraft website (OK not an exact match - but close emough) - check out the forum menu.

If you look on the PunBB website there is plenty of information on styling and also PunBB modules that add a front end (portal like - PunnPortal - I think) so as to make it fit better into a website.

You can also add PunBB Forum info onto your CMS web pages, I've written a plugin (PunBBInfo) see

for more information.

Hope this helps

Thank you for replying. I really thought i could do that, o well.
So I tried something different, I used an {embed url=}
it embedded the forums into the CMSMS and it shows fine however,
it leave a very small scrollbar thats useless, have a look please.

I would love to lose that scroll bar, any suggestions?

Thanks again, I'm new to these forums so I'll be around for awhile.

Looks OK to me? No scroll bar?  Of course using '{embed url=}' seems to mean using iFrames - which I'm sorry to say i don't find very accessible. Ccheck out you page with CSS styles turned off and run it through WebExact or something like it. I'm not saying that iFrames can't be reasonably accessible, it's just that I don't think embedding a forum is one of those ways :)
