You should be able to integrate it with no issues. You need to choose a template for PHPBB that matches your new website's design or choose a website design that matches the PHPBB template that you like. Simple integration just involves on adding a menu item unless you are needing something more detailed.tunesbyjames wrote: ↑Mon Jul 23, 2018 8:14 pm hello all. what is the best way to integrate phpBB into a website as part of the menu/tab? A perfect example of this is a website I frequently visit: http://www.teamfortress.tv/
You can see they have a landing page, but when you click 'Forums', it seamlessly integrates into the website. I don't think they are using phpBB, but it is still something that looks/runs smooth. I am going to be creating a website, but I want my current forums integrated into it.
Not sure if I should use Wordpress? But I don't know if Wordpress allows for seamless integration of phpBB?
I wanted it to be where the Forum is embedded seamlessly within the same page. Because I have tried it where I add a menu item, but when clicking my forum, it goes to a completely separate web page.
I only have the forum part built, but not the actual website yet. But I wanted it to look something like this: http://www.teamfortress.tv/Lumpy Burgertushie wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 4:30 pm do you have your new website built yet?
if so, show us an example of what it is going to look like.
What the OP is asking can be done. We have done it with various organizations wishing to implement the phpbb photo gallery functionality of our site but who do not want to host or manage their own phpbb board/infrastructure. It involves creating custom template pages for each page of the website which are a mixture of the html of his site and the php code of the phpbb content he wishes to display on that that page.tunesbyjames wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 5:37 pmI wanted it to be where the Forum is embedded seamlessly within the same page.

Where the website is seamlessly integrated with the forum. I don't want it to where the forum goes to a different page, but more so is embedded into the website like teamfortress.tv's website.
Basically, I want the phpBB (Forum) part of the website to be a small part of it. For example, I will have 5 Menu Tabs on top of the website, named something like, 'Home' - 'Blog' - 'Videos' - 'Gallery' - 'Forum' - etc... But when I navigate to each of those menu items, I want it to be seamlessly integretated. I don't want it to where, if I click on 'Forum', it takes me to an entirely different page where my website is no longer at.Lumpy Burgertushie wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 8:27 pm he is planning on using phpbb as a whole but also have other website pages etc.
Yes but, I want to do the least amount of custom work as possible. To get an integrated look, I assume I will have to do a lot of editing in the header/footer and other things, correct? As stated in the previous post, I want the home page to feature the last 'blog' entry I have created, along with some pictures or other things. This would be the 'Home' page. You're saying I could do this with portal or side columns? The last time they updated those was in 2015.Brf wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 9:25 pm As I already explained...Your example website does have completely different pages for its tabs.
Your example website is just using a Portal page. Its "forums" page is a different web page, but the columns on the side are the same, so it looks like the forum is embedded in the page. You can find extensions for portal pages or side columns.
