Trying to integrate phpBB into my new site

I'm trying to integrate phpBB into my new site and finally had a brainstorm after a while, to split my index page into 2 (it's the template) then in the overall_header.tpl to "include" the top half and overall_footer.tpl to include the bottom half. That would all seem well and good, but any php code I put in either of…

The problem (as we've run into at the school) could be the interpretation of the XML tag at the top of the page (if that's what you're using). If that's the case, I forget the little hack off the top of my head, but if you'll show the header code you're using, I'll be able to take a better stab.

As an aside, have you checked out Simple Machines Forum? It's based on phpBB, but has a few added features, as far as I can tell.

For your includes, try this syntax:

[PHP]<?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/bottom.php"); ?> [/PHP]

Changing that syntax wouldn't have any effect as it is just not parsing php at all in the header file.

I checked that site but without source there isn't anything I can see.

Hmm, it's definitely not any sort of XML declaration problem. Are you sure the page extension you're using is set to parse PHP code on your server? I've run into problems with that in the past (.html parses, .htm does not)

I'm not entirely sure how phpBB works, but the index.php file includes the header.cpt file which includes the top.php file... php code in the index.php file is parsed, code in the header.cpt file isn't.

My guess is that you'll need to change your server settings to get the .ctp files to parse PHP. I'm not sure where you can do that, from the top of my head, but I'm sure you can find out oh www.php.net

It's ok, I managed to do it eventually. There is a mod you can add to phpBB called eXtreme Styles that allows the tpl files to be parsed for php code, and lo and behold, it works now, thanks for the attempts anyway guys.

MMS: The server is already set to parse everything, but it doesn't seem to parse includes of includes anyway.

Well I have it all integrated perfectly now but have one MAJOR issue. When someone clicks on "register" it takes the person to the login page but I have absoloutely no idea why. Has anyone come across this before?
