Re:

Hey there, I'm not sure which forum to post this in, so I'm posting in 2 places. I hope that's okay. smile

Hi there, how are you all? I'm writing because I need help. I'm putting my website together, and I'm using the Nucleus CMS (http://www.nucleuscms.org) and the NP_PunBB plugin to intergrate the site and forum together. I've chosen the theme for my site, which you can see here - http://skins.nucleuscms.org/browser/colors3 - and would like to make my forum look exactly the same as this...the problem is I have no idea how. Could anyone either show me how to do it or make a skin for PunBB based on this Nucleus theme? Thank you!

Re:

I think you should use the templates that punbb uses, they are in include/templates. that way you can make your forum look like your website.

Re:

with trail and error just like me, you put in the template files all the css, javascript and everyting that your normal site also has but leaving in the <pun_status> etc.

here is 1 of mine template files.
