Hey guys,
I'm fairly noob when it comes to programming, so im not 100% sure on how to word this, but ill give it a whirl.

I want to use my forum header and footer in a different URL extension (eg forum installed at 'http://forums.mysite.com/' and i want to use the header and footer template from there, for this link 'http://forums.mysite.com/ext/').

But I tried just copying and pasting the code, but obviously it comes up with broken images and it cant find the phrases (it is trying to get images and phrases from 'http://forums.mysite.com/ext/' rather than 'http://forums.mysite.com/'). So i was wandering if there is some way i can redirect the href that its looking for or something like that? so its looking in 'http://forums.mysite.com/' rather than 'http://forums.mysite.com/ext/'

Any help is awesome, thanks

Depending on how your pages are structured you could try adding the following to the head section in your pages.

HTML Code:

<base href="http://forums.mysite.com" />

This will tell the browser to fetch all relative content from that URL.

An alternative is to edit your forums style and change all relative paths to absolute paths.

Thanks for getting back to me.
That is sort of what i was looking for, but i tried it and it doesnt work

I think the problem is the phrases. So is there someway i can get it to look for phrases in the right place?

Bump?

Phrases are retrieved from the DB. The forum location shouldn't matter.

Yeah, thats what i thought as well. Oh well ill try fiddle around with it. Thanks for your help anyways.

PM me a link to your forum, and I'll take a quick look.

I see what you mean. The issue is that you cannot use vBulletin variables and phrases in an HTML page. I think there is a mod here at vb.org that allows you to do that.

Cool, any chance of pushing me in the right direction?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
