Invision

[TCH-Thomas]

Right now I have invision forum open in a new window, but is there a HTML template i can insert code in to have forum open in body? (Arrggh, cant remember right name right now Mad!!! )

I know there was a template in coppermine in which i could do that, but all html pages i see in unzipped invision 1.3 tells me

403: Invision Power Board -> Forbidden

You have reached this Page in error, please use your back button to return to Invision Board.

which makes me think "Nope, it cant be that one".

 

Any help (even if i cant do what i want) is greatly appreciated.

There is a PHP file you can call from inside an HTML page that would show the last 10 (or more) posts to the board. It's called "ssi.php" in the root folder of the forum.

 

Is that what you are looking for or did you actaully want to embed the forum into another web page?

[TCH-Thomas]

I think its this one I wanna do:

I have a menu in top frame and now when "forum" is clicked it opens in new window, but i want it to be accessed in same frame as the rest.

 

The website where this forum is gonna be used is still under construction but i have same design and menu on my current site if you wanna see what i mean. Just click on "Ginnie and piggie" in "The world of..."

OK, I see what you currently have. You say in your new stuff the forum is opening in a new browser instead of the frame, right?

 

Just make sure the link to open the forum page has the correct "target" and it will open in the proper frame.

 

ex. your link

[TCH-Thomas]

Yes, but the thing is i have to know if there is and if so what file I put code in, cause (which i forgot to say before, i apologise for that) i am working with All web menus and that needs to have 2 codes inserted to work. One code in top frame (inserted one time) then another code inserted on each page i want the menu to work on.

So basically I need to figure out what forum file (like template.html etc) i put second code in, not what to insert.

I am sorry for being misunderstandable (in lack of words) before.

[TCH-Bruce]

I've never used All web menus but I'm sure that's where the edit needs to take place.

 

What are you frame names in your frameset? The one where your body content gets displayed is the target you want to send the forum link to.

 

So basically I need to figure out what forum file (like template.html etc) i put second code in, not what to insert.

 

Can't you just link to the root of the forum? It will load the proper page. Like www.yoursite.com/forums/

 

I'm sorry, I am not understanding the question I guess.

[TCH-Thomas]

Here´s my problem

 

1. All web menus (AWM later) needs to have one code placed in head in top frame (in my case). This is done once since top frame is always visible.

 

2. Then the following code needs to be placed on each page i want the menu visible on or navigation will not work.

><!-- ******** BEGIN ALLWEBMENUS CODE FOR Marve_sub ******** -->
<img name='awmMenuPathImg-Marve_sub' id='awmMenuPathImg-Marve_sub' src='./awmmenupath.gif' alt=''><script type='text/javascript'>var MenuLinkedBy='AllWebMenus [2]', awmBN='514'; awmAltUrl='';</script><script src='Marve_sub.js' language='JavaScript1.2' type='text/javascript'></script><script type='text/javascript'>awmBuildMenu();</script>
<!-- ******** END ALLWEBMENUS CODE FOR Marve_sub ******** -->
</body>

 

When i did my coppermine photoalbum, there was a template.html (in themes) where i could insert any extra code i wanted. In this case the AWM navigation code.

 

But when it comes to invision i can not find a template.htm (or similar) to place this code in.

 

Can't you just link to the root of the forum? It will load the proper page. Like www.yoursite.com/forums/

That i can do and the problem isnt if i can get people in to forum, its to give them a navigation out of the forum since this code above needs to be placed in some specific page or it will not work. I just dont know which one.

[TCH-Bruce]

Now wait, isn't the navigation part of the top frame page? If so, if you target the forum to load in the lower frame that navigation would still be visible and usable.

 

If the navigation is not part of the top frame then you will need to edit your navigation into the "skin_global.php" file located in the Skin/S1 folder. However I don't know where.

[TCH-Thomas]

Now wait, isn't the navigation part of the top frame page?

That is very correct, but that code (in earlier post) must be placed in each page i want the top navigation to work on including forum. No code on each page = no working menu.

[TCH-Bruce]

I see, so you will have to edit the "skin_global.php" file.

 

Sorry, don't know where to put your code to make it work.

[TCH-Thomas]

Ok, skin_global.php here i come.

 

Thank you Bruce. It came to be a long thread but we understood each other at the end and thats what counts.

You are still using CuteSite Builder correct.

 

Have you tried running the Invision Forum in a "container page" and use a modified menu in the top frame.

 

I'm working on a site now and did that, the owner will eventually update his own site using CuteSite, it's at http://www.meowwebdesigns.com/mark/messages.htm

Hm no, I havent tried a container page for this cause last time i tried container pages was back in trellix days and i never got it working.

 

Modified menu?

[RJSkon]

Thomas

 

If you view source, that container page was created using Trellix, it should work even better in CuteSite Builder.

 

I still use Trellix, because if I create a site using CuteSite V4, it would not backward compatable with Trellix and there are still alot of folks out there that use Trellix PA and CuteSite Builder V3.
