Site + Forum

[Mr.Stone]

Hi all, I want to link my forum with my html site.

I want to do the next things: I want to display the news (everything in forum ID=2) on the index page of my website. I want a block to login, if logged in a block with the following things:

Edit Profile
My profile page
View new posts (0)
View your posts (541)
Bookmarks
Subscribed
Private messages
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logout [ Stijn ]

I want a block with the most recent reactions (in topics).

And a who is online block.

I first tried to do this with phpBB3Portal, but I think it's better to do it this way.

I have the codes for the blocks (from phpBB3Portal) but I really don't know how to connect those file's with forum files, and forum database.

You need to add this code to the top of the page and then you can add the phpBB3Portal-blocks but you have to convert the variables in the template to normal PHP.

Code: Select all

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_display.' . $phpEx);

// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();
