Forum viewed inside the portal?

[Bashy]

Hi peeps

I would like to have my forum viewed inside the portal like i have atm with mkportal, (use Firefox) see www.bashys-place.com/forums as you can see the logo, top links bar and the side blocks are actually part of the portal i am using.

Dowside is since upgrading to vb3.6 IE has been dead slow and its the portal thats causing it, hence the need for a new 1 :)

Its is all down to being able to view my forum inside the portal, i.e. have say, all the left blocks showing on every single page.

I am not very php minded so much help would more than liely be needed.

I have installed this alread and is as www.bashys-place.com/cmps_index.php
untill i get this sorted, if not that i wont be able to use it im afraid as many of my members love the side blocks, we have many that are not shown to guest ;)

Yours hopefully

Bashy

Mmmmm... Peeps. Sugary tooth decaying goodness. :)

To get it to show on every page, pay close attention to the note in step #6 of those instructions. ;)
Also note that you may add this code to your global.php file if you wish to integrate ALL of your vBulletin pages with the CMPS.

pmsl.... and i read it all,just goes to show, even if its staring you in the face ya can still miss it lol...Thanks Brian :)

Do i have to still go through all the steps?
Cause i have done the file edits and added that code the the global.php
and i get Invalid Page Specified

As i want it on all pages what do i do for steps 4, 5 and 6

Sorry for the thicko Q's but this 1 is new to me :)

You would still follow those same steps, except you add the code in step #6 to your global.php file instead of index.php as used in the example.
The invalid page error means exactly that - An invalid page was used. Go back and edit the page you added in the Admin CP and see what you have entered for the 'Page Identifier' option. Then look for this code that you added at the top of your global.php file (or any other file you've added it to):

define('VBA_PORTAL', true);
define('VBA_PAGE', 'include');

Make sure that the text there marked in bold ('include') matches whatever you used as the 'Page Identifier' option for the page you added.
