CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi, I was planning on making a site using CMSMS and also having a blog that would integrate as a page.  I plan on having the menu just link to say, blog.domain.com, but having the blog use the same layout as the CMSMS portion of the site.

I was just wondering, how would I go about including the menu that CMSMS generates via the menu manager.  Is there a php includes to a certain file?  In cmsms you just use a field tag. Thanks to anyone that can help.

Have you searched the forum? I remember that a similar question on integrating Wordpress with cmsms has been discussed before. As an alternative, you might use Blogms or a combination of News and Comments.

visit www.fitstyler.com.au - I've integrated a wordpress blog and CMSMS seamlessly there - at least at a user experience level (separate admin).

The trick was using iframes and javascript to embed the blog in a standard CMS page so that it is seamless.  Editing the stylesheet hid all the blog screen features I didn't want, like banners etc.

I also put some more javascript in the blog so that if a visitor came to the blog page by itself it would re-imbed itself within the CMS through some javascript sleight of hand.

All the client side code is transparent, so dig around inside the example and you should be able to find everything you need to replicate it.
