PunBB Forums → PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations → Integrating the forum into my site
Ok, I know this has been discussed a zillion times;), but all the replies did not really help me that much.
I am clueless when it comes to php (I'm an old timer C++/Java kind of guy). I have a decent basic knowledge of html, however (I know it's xhtml now a days).
Anyway, can a big hearted pro guide me through this painful process?
Feel free to email me!
Im new as hell here and to punbb, but all you really need is like 2 lines of code?

Thanks GodsDead!
I saw that, but how to do you go about defining that Pun_Root function?

It's near the top of every file you uploaded. Copy the code from one of the files, i.e:
define(PUN_ROOT, './');citation wrote:I saw that, but how to do you go about defining that Pun_Root function?

ok, but then what do I do with it, and where should I copy it to?
What exactly are you wanting to do? Integration of what? Styles or user functions/info?

Only styles. I want the forum to look as if it's part of my site.
You need to look in "include/template/main.tpl":
<!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>ADD YOUR WEBSITES HTML HEADER HERE
<div id="punwrap">
<div id="pun<pun_page>" class="pun"><div id="brdheader" class="block">
<div class="box">
<div id="brdtitle" class="inbox">
<pun_title>
<pun_desc>
</div>
<pun_navlinks>
<pun_status>
</div>
</div><pun_announcement>
<pun_main>
<pun_footer>
</div>
</div>ADD YOUR WEBSITE FOOTER HTML HERE
</body>
</html>
That is only a basic example that will literally drop PunBB into your design. Search both here and www.punres.org for more detailed documentation on integrating PunBB into your website. If you understand a little CSS you can drop Pun into your website then edits Punbbs stylesheets so that the colours match those of your site.
Hope this helps

Thanks alot downliner. I'll try this and let you know!
I've got a problem, I've uploaded my forums to http://ooka.pokelounge.com and I'm trying to integrate PunBB into http://pokelounge.com.
I inserted this:
<?php
define('PUN_ROOT', 'http://ooka.pokelounge.com/');
require PUN_ROOT.'include/common.php';
?>
and I get this error:
"The constant PUN_ROOT must be defined and point to a valid PunBB installation root directory."
Any help?
Isnt pun_root just / or something??
Well, I don't have it uploaded to a folder, it's uploaded to the SubDomain Root, so I figured I would have to put that there.

If you have uploaded the files, then they are in a directory, (folder). As Matt mentioned, set the root path correctly: define('PUN_ROOT', './'); That is the path relative to the directory in which the files reside, and has to be a local path.
Yes, but I'm trying to link to the forums from http://pokelounge.com. The forums are under http://forum.pokelounge.com. If I do it how you guys are saying I receive this error:

It was a general reference, not exact information for your specific setup, seeing as you never mentioned those specifics. What is the directory structure of your site? If the forum directory you uploaded is in the web root dir, in a directory called forum, and you are referencing the file from a file in the web root dir, then the define should be: define('PUN_ROOT', './forum');
Only you know the directory layout. Adjust the path accordingly.

I actually had said it before ._.
Anyways, I did adjust it accordingly, and ended up with the error 
What is your PUN_ROOT defined as at the moment?
Right now PunBB is uploaded to my Root Directory at http://ooka.pokelounge.com.
That isn't what I asked. In the file which is showing that error, what is the definition of PUN_ROOT?
Well then I've already posted that. Just look up 3 posts.

If this:
define('PUN_ROOT', 'http://ooka.pokelounge.com/');
is how you still have it defined, I give up. I ain't gonna spend all night plaiting snuff.
Lmao, when I changed it to ./ it just made problems worse.

As one would expect. Which part of this did you not understand?
What is the directory structure of your site? If the forum directory you uploaded is in the web root dir, in a directory called forum, and you are referencing the file from a file in the web root dir, then the define should be: define('PUN_ROOT', './forum');
