Hi guys,

I would like to have my vBulletin forum sat inside my website so the header is basically my Joomla header but with the content section showing my forums.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this? Or if this is even possible?

For an idea of what I want take a look at this http://www.delphifusion.com/index2.php

The easy way is to copy the header from your website into the header template of your forums overwriting everything until

Code:

$spacer_open

The harder way would be to use frames, but the header editing way is the best method to use.

Okay this might be slightly complex when using a Joomla header?

it's not going to be easy, but with time and patience it is possible/

Well I have been trying to get this working for several days now and have made zero progress. It's not helping that I cannot debug the output from the header, head include and footer.

If anyone has either done this before or is good with this kind of thing what needs to go where in the vbulliten style headers etc and what needs editing from the following Joomla file?

Okay, I can get my forum to have the header from my site by adding the HTML output from Joomla to the forums header and header include but then it's not dynamic and loses some of it's functionality

Can anyone help me?

I am looking for something similar. I want to use my main site header (php, with some dynamic elements) and have it used as my forum header. There must be a fairly easy way of just including the php file into the forum header right?

I would like to think that but so far haven't found it.

I'm looking to do the same thing. How did you finally resolve this issue? Can I see a demo site?

Ok, with some help I was able to resolve this issue. I followed the second post in this thread's instructions was able to make it work quite well. I've got a great looking, dynamic header from Joomla and the forums below.

There's a small css bug, which I'd appreciate any help in tracking down. It seems the cell padding is being thrown off by the modified header. I'm attaching a screen cap below so you can see the problem. Anyone have a tip on how to correct this?

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