Topic: Integrating PunBB into the look and feel of my web site?

For a little while now, I've been debating the idea of coding my own forum solution, so it will integrate perfectly into my web site ( http://www.volksmovie.com/ ). Once I started seeing how much work goes into a real forum solution, though, I decided to see how hard it would be to integrate an existing forum.

My site uses a fixed width master container, and the inside (content) column is fairly narrow. I know how I can make a forum work in such a space layout and style-wise, but I'm just trying to figure out where to start. PunBB looks like the most likely solution to my problem. Is there some documentation out there that can get me started?

The site is setup with a basic header-content-footer approach, using PHP includes to grab the header and footer. Simple, it works, and it got the job done.

Thank you all for yout time!

Re: Integrating PunBB into the look and feel of my web site?

ok
here goes the main.tpl file. is what you want to edit in the forum
good example and a look at my codes..
http://bunpai.com ----- forum.php i have listed all my index.php and my main.tpl in the forum...
all the files are in the same directory.. i just renamed the index.php to forum.php and find viewtopic and viewforum.php search those files for inde.php change to forum.php.. ops and functions.php
once you do that then you can integrate with no problem..

My stuff or my style might sux, but atleast I'm willing to help when I can.

Re: Integrating PunBB into the look and feel of my web site?

I was never able to get your web site to load.

Well, main.tpl smacks of Smarty templates, which I have plenty of experience in. I can't see a main.tpl in my PunBB installation, though. Is that just how you've chosen to integrate it?

(I should've used Smarty, but I was in too much of a hurry, and now I have a mixture of stylesheet and embedded style information. It's a mess, but it works.)
