How do I integrate YaBB into my PHP website?

[Doomster]

I'm running 1.3,
To get all this to work I had to replace everyway way it passed on the HTML variables.  Using ";" it didn't pass on more than 1 variable, so I had to use "&" to pass them all on.

e.g. all the links created, such as:
http://www.yabb.info/community/index.php?board=135;action=post;threadid=3311;title=Post+reply;start=15

Had to be changed to:
http://www.yabb.info/community/index.php?board=135&action=post;threadid=3311&title=Post+reply&start=15

I eventually used an advanced search and replace program to search/replace examples such as:
;user to &user
;threadid to &threadid
;action to &action
etc.

I don't know if it has security implications, but it's the only way I could get it to work!
Thanks of the basic idea though,

(btw, myk, I had to include the endhtml(); or it didn't include the header.  However, as I call the forum functions off the forum, I had to create a variable forums and make it endhtml(); optional)

Since with YaBB SE 1.3.0 you can use template.php, the technique described in this thread should not be necessary any longer for 1.3.0. You can directly embed php commands in the template.php.

I intergrated Yse1.3 in my site without using the forums.php tecnique.

I have my forums at /Forums/index.php

andrea, with 1.3 I had to use this sort of method, because it messed up any Javascript that was passed through the YaBB parse scripts.  It removed all the spaces or the new lines or something which caused errors in the Javascript.

aha...

Just an idea (dont know if it works): did you put the java script commands directly into the template.php or did you try to put them into a separate ".js" file?

[Doomster]

hmmmm, I think I tried...

putting it directly into the template.php ...

'include'ing it into the template.php, but I guess that would have the same affect as above when parsed ...

Not sure about the JS file though.  Why do you ask?
I'm a total beginner with using Javascript with PHP.  I can write basic JS, but not sure on anything else to do with it.  Would putting it in a JS file and adding it via HTML command make it keep its original format?

Hello everyone,

I've got another question which I think is related to the
topic.
Well: on my site, I've already got a member-domain.
users can log in, and from then on, they can freely
manouvre there.
I want to ask if there's a way that my members
do not have to login again when they try to access
YaBB.
(of course I can forward form-data directly to
/yabbse/index.php?board=;action=login2, but that's
not sufficient)

It's a gigantic work to copy all the username's and pass
words into the YaBB database, since members
can also change their passwords themselves.

Can YaBB & the rest of my site share 1 MySQL table in
which my users are enlisted?

thanks in advance!
kevin

Yes.

HELP!

I've followed this thread as closely as I can and I am getting a duplicate headers error. I am using v 1.5.0. This is the template:

Code Select Expand

<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\" border=\"0\">
 
 <tr>
  <td align=\"right\"><yabb uname><yabb im><br />
         <yabb time></td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
   
  <td align=\"center\"><yabb menu>
</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td><yabb news>

 </tr>
</table>
<br />
<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\" border=\"0\">
  <tr>
   
  <td valign=\"top\"><yabb main>
      </td>
  </tr>
</table>
<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\" border=\"0\">
  <tr>
    <td nowrap=\"nowrap\" align=\"right\"><yabb vbstylelogin></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<br />
<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\">

                </td>
 </tr>
           
</table>

I renamed my index.php to phorum.php (and Reminder.php to reminders.php) and commented out the line in both that says "ob_start();"

This is the index.php i created using what I got out of this thread. Note that the tables here will be replaced with my real header and footer after troubleshooting:

Code Select Expand

<?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?".">"; ?>
<?php ob_start(); ?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<link href="../scripts/sunspot.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="true" />
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#CC3300" vlink="#CC3300" alink="#CC3300" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

<?php // include "header.php"; ?>

<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="8" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
  <td bgcolor="#FFFFCC">header's here</td>
 </tr>
</table>
<?php 
require("phorum.php");
require("reminders.php");

function endhtml() { ?>

<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="8" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
  <td bgcolor="#FFFFCC">footer's here</td>
 </tr>
</table>

<?php } ?>

</body>
</html>

I changed my Subs.php to  read, starting on line 1272:

Code Select Expand

function obExit()
{
   global $HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING,$modSettings;
   endhtml();
   if (!$modSettings['enableCompressedOutput'])
   {
      ob_end_flush();
      exit;
   }
    $html = ob_get_contents();
   ob_end_clean();
   $level = 1;
   // ...more code follows, obviously!

At last, here is the error I am getting:

Code Select Expand

e¡sI6What am I doing wrong?

[Spaceman-Spiff]

and why do u want to do all those things above?

[eight17]

and why do u want to do all those things above?

To give an honest answer to a rather facetious question: I was following the directions I found in the posts to this thread. Read above, as I'm not about to regurgitate it here.

If I have totally misread everything, please let me know... and then tell me exactly what I need to do to put the forum within the design of my site.

For your infomation, my current site is as such:

*HTML header stuff*
*start HTML body*
*include header.php*
*page-specific HTML content.  This is where I am trying to include the phorum.php*
*include footer.php*
*end body and HTML*

Simple stuff. So why the freaky error?

[Spaceman-Spiff]

ah, sorry, thought this is an SSI.php question
in the first post, Zef said:

Then create a new index.php At the first line put:
Code:

<?php ob_start(); ?>

i think u really need to put that line ON TOP
just move the xml part below it, or maybe remove it (i dont think the xml tag is necessary)

btw, i dont see the usefulness of this feature
maybe this topic is a bit out of date...
since the template is already .php, u can just put php codes there...

[eight17]

WHAT?!?  

I can put php code inside the template? Seriously? That would solve everything! I will give it a shot and let you know.
