Getting templates to work with SMF Forum
-
-
I joined the template club today and I'm having a problem with running a forum using any of the templates. It seems the template is coded so that it runs the forum inside a small space inside the template.
I would like to know if I can easily modify any of the templates so that the forum will run beneath the header section instead of a small section inside the template. I need the forum to be the same width as the template design.
I see that RocketTheme.com is already doing this wilth their site.

If anyone needs to see an example. Here is one of the templates installed:
www.horsegathering.com/
If you click on forums. it brings you to this page:
www.horsegathering.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,29/
As you can see, the forum looks really cheap looking. I would prefer a wider width such as:
www.forum.horsegathering.com/
But with the template header stuff on top.
Any assistance would be helpful.

Thanks for the info.
You basically leave the Jooma template alone, and modify the forum template. Makes sense. The only problem is that when you modify your template, you need to make changes in two places.

That is exactly what I did on my site www.vibez.co.uk/forum/ ; Although I made the smf template index.php and css point towards my joomla template images, so I only need to change the graphics in one place for it to show up on both templates
