Topic: Request for Integrated Theme

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!

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: Request for Integrated Theme

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.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="<pun_content_direction>">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<pun_char_encoding>" />
<pun_head>
</head>
<body>
<pun_include "topmenu.inc.php">
 <div id="main-inner">
  <div id="punwrap">
    <div id="pun<pun_page>" class="pun">
    <div id="brdheader" class="block">
      <div class="box">
        <pun_status>
      </div>
    </div>
      <pun_announcement>
      <pun_main>
      <pun_footer>
    </div>
  </div>
  <pun_include "banner.php">
 <pun_include "footer.inc.php">
<pun_include "bbclone.inc.php">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
