Site/Forum Integration

[KieranTaylor]

Hi there,

I am currently working on a website, http://www.naxbase.com/ . And I wish to integrate the forum with the website so that it looks like the user hasn't moved anywhere...if you get what I mean?

I would like the forum to fit within the template I have designed although I don't know how to do it. I can't afford a programmer to do it, as I have forked out on ?X,XXX's for resources. So I need to do this myself. I would be happy with following an already existing tutorial if there is one, but if there isn't...please help!

Here are some pictures to show you exactly what I am trying to do;

I thank you all in advance and I hope someone here can help me in my mission for success! :P


Regards,
Kieran Taylor.

Edit templates "header" and "footer". Those are very simple templates, so if you know basic html you should be able to put your header/footer code there.

I don't think i'm stupid but it's taken me ages to work out that the comment above refers to going into the Admin control panel on vBulletin, and under Style & Templates pick Style Manager.

I've spent I don't know how long trying to work out how to integrate my forum into my website and was expecting to find physical files in the /forum directory to modify.

Urmm no offence but this is webmaster resources and tutorials?
And you can't even find the templates to edit?

Editing header and footer templates and .page element in CSS should be enough.
