Brother Adam Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I make pages mainly using tables so I can center and place everything how I want it. I want to have my forum show up inside of a table, but the only way I know how to do this is using an inline frame. These frames always look awkward though. Is there a way to make the inline frame take up the entire space of a cell in the table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeyman Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 (edited) That ought to be doable . . . but for the life of me, I'm not sure how. If you make a table - one row wide and tall - that is your "page" size and then insert another table inside that - say a few pixels inside on each side, you can then format the inner table for position Having something like a forum running inside a table sounds a little dicey to me though . . . is your discussion forum something like what dUSt uses here and you use at flyfree? Doesn't the forum software do its own formatting? I was thinking of looking at php (left a reference in Aloyisious' Chesterbel Enterprises thread to a free download of php Nuke) for discussion type pages . . . but had not worked up enough time . . . I just redid about half of one site using NVU - but there was nothing there as complex as you're asking (here's the thread with the link to php [url="http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?showtopic=34816)"]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?showtopic=34816)[/url] Edited June 19, 2005 by journeyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 wow I'm having the same exact problem trying to put a forum in my table! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted June 19, 2005 Author Share Posted June 19, 2005 The only thing I've found is increasing the inline height and width to 100%, but it still looks awkward and doesn't fill the cell. I know dust uses CSS and knows how to change the code in the forum in order to add the changes he does, and I now have PHP Designer 2005 (free from download.com) which I am trying to learn how to use, in which you can manipulate PHP, CSS and a whole array (unfortunately not TPL) of other styles. I have the exact same Forum as Dust for Flyfree. It would be nice to have someone walk me through it though, as I know Dust is far more advanced than simply adding the forum to the Table.

Aloysius Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 how do you do the inline frame in the first place? I can't even figure out how to do that and make it look awkward! lol :even further behind than bro adam: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted June 19, 2005 Author Share Posted June 19, 2005 Here is a script for an inline frame: <iframe name="I1" width="100%" height="100%" src="www.your-domain.com/inlinepage.html" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1">Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.</iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Adam Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 lol. I still am having problem with the space at the top of one I'm playing with. You can see the extra grey bar: [url="http://www.catholicsforcreation.com/playingwithinline.htm"]http://www.catholicsforcreation.com/playingwithinline.htm[/url] Any ideas?

Aloysius Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 that's odd. mine didn't do that, and I'm using phpBB too. maybe delete everything inside the table just to double check that nothing else is in there screwing it up, then put back the inline frame code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloysius Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 so why'd mine work so easily and well? [url="http://chesterbel.net/demo.html"]http://chesterbel.net/demo.html[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 I think I"ve got it. If you figure out how to change the backround color on the phpBB forum let me know please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 yeah, you tell me if you figure it out too. I have a feeling there might be something in the template folder but then again it could be in the code for index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
