Having trouble integrating Forum with CMPS

[memobug]

I am having a hard time trying to decrypt the simple instructions in the manual for integrating vB forums. It's probably just me, but I am relatively familiar with CMPS, I have made a few hacks and stuff but the integration didn't work at all. I started with the SHOWTHREAD page

STEP 3. I made the page identifier "include"
STEP 4. Inserted the "define('VBA_PORTAL', true);
define('VBA_PAGE', 'include');"
STEP 5. I replaced

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('SHOWTHREAD') . '");');

with

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('SHOWTHREAD') . '";');
print_portal_output($home, $HTML);

But it gave me the selected modules in random looking positions and no showthread output.

What is this $home thing? Does it apply only for FORUMHOME?

Regards,

Matt

$home displays the CMPS / sidebar bit, while $HTML displays the actual custom page output I belive.

Take a look at how you setup your 'include' page, as the sidebars and whatnot should follow what you have setup in that page, while your normal forum listing will be displayed wherever you have the 'Custom Content' area set.

I probably had "custom content" turned off then.

I'll have a look, THANKS!
