inserting a phpbb2 forum in a php page using includes

r22pl · 03-06-2005, 12:51 PM

i keep getting errors when i try different ways to do this
hopefully someone can help

i am working on a website in PHP, and i am trying to use an include script to get my phpBB board, located at forums/index.php, inside of the site with an include

i've been trying for a while and i keep getting errors...

the file is forums.php located in the root, and in it, it says:

Quote:

<?
include("includes/header.php");

include("forums/index.php");

include("includes/footer.php");
?>

but, when i go to forums.php, it gives me a bunch of errors:

Quote:

any help?

when you use the include the index.php is looking for /extension.inc instead of /forums/extension.inc or summat like that, there should be a variable in the index.php file for the forums, change that I think

ok i changed the variable, it was set to ./ and i changed it to forums/

now the forums came up, but above them, i got more errors:

this will let you connect to phpbb and will resolve the extention errors etc etc and should help in some way

r22pl · 03-06-2005, 01:54 PM

doesnt really help, maybe i just dont understand it

if someone could explain it easier that would be appreciated

The bit in the code that creates the session needs to be at the top of the page now (with the includes) You will have to find the create session bit in the forum index.php and put this righ at the very top of the include page above anything else then delete the session bit from inside the forums index.php page (keep a backup just incase though)

i dont think thats what he is looking for, why are you trying to make it appear on forums.php anyway? why not just send your visitors to forum/index.php?

no, its an include file. I'm trying to get the forum inside the page with all my headers and stuff

jroy · 03-07-2005, 12:43 PM

ok, well you can accomplish that without having to include in in forum.php, just edit the overall_header.tpl and overall_footer.tpl files in the subsilver folder

r22pl · 03-07-2005, 01:22 PM

doesn't work

jroy · 03-07-2005, 01:24 PM

what part of it doesnt work?

r22pl · 03-07-2005, 01:31 PM

i just want a way to have a file and be able to include the forum inside it, i know something like that is done in php-nuke

if i cant figure it out, its alright ill just make it in like a different window or something

jroy · 03-07-2005, 01:33 PM

it wont work unless you use an iframe because when ever you click a link from the included page it will open up forums/viewforum.php

r22pl · 03-07-2005, 01:43 PM

alright then i wont worry about it

thanks for the help
