Can anyone lead me in the direction of how to do the following:?

I am running PHPNuke 7.4 Patched.

I am wondering if it is possible to have a forum in a different directory from nuke, and then be able to call to the forum so it shows up just like it is included in nuke. In other words, lets say I have PHPNuke installed in the root directory, html.

I have the forums (phpBB) installed in the forums directory. Is it possible using Iframe, or something so this forum is called into the phpnuke program just like the forum that comes with nuke?

Any help is appreciated.

Hi, Yes I did this once with an Invision board I had. Save this code as index.php and insert it into a new module directory with whatever name you like.

<?php

if(!isset($mainfile)) { include("mainfile.php"); }
$index = 0; // right side off

include("header.php");
print "<div align=\"center\"><font size=\"-7\" color=\"$textcolor1\"></div>";
?>
<table width=100% border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 height=100%>
<tr><td><table width=100% border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0" height="100%"><tr><td>
<center><iframe id=1 name="portal" src="ADD_HERE_YOUR_URL" width="100%" scrolling="auto" height="1200" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</center></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
<?
include("footer.php");
?>

Thanks, that almost worked, but wasn't quite it. it made a frame which needed scrolled inside a frame.

I think this is on the right track though.

I also run Nuke 7.4 patched, I just installed the standalone phpBB forum and made a test module and it works fine. Check it out here: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] and click the module named "test". Is this what you wanted?

Well, what happens is if the forum is very long, ie. has several categories, it causes the page to add a scroll bar. Here, i will show you what I mean.

The link is Forum2

Yes I see that. I suppose you can always adjust the height:

height="1200"

Not a prob. You got me on the right path here. I have the option of removing the other blocks, (I started that forum as a stand alone, and was checking on some options with it)
