osfdeath Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 I believe there is a NewPage hack that'll do that. Check out http://www.oscommerce.com/downloads.php/contributions Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantazia Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 :lol: Hi ALL... I have managed to kind of integrate php BB into OSC Basically rather than including the actuall php board, i included a HTML page which consists of an <IFRAME> containing the PHP BB. It works quite well whilst keeping the dynamic pages alive, unlike some sites what have used HTML lookalike pages. I did however have to create a redirect top open the BB in a new window if the users screen resolution is below 800X600 Just so things dont get to squashed... Take a look, site isnt completely finished yet but you get the idea. :arrow: http://www.gamexchanger.co.uk/shop/catalog/default.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 I have invisionboard on my site you can see it here www.formulaframed.com Just click on the link for forums. Although it doesnt look like part of the site, I am doing a skin for it, so when the skin is finished you wont know the difference. IVB is also free, and really easy to set up and use! Another great feature, is that when someone signs upto the site they are also automatically signed up for the forum. There is a forum username field on the sign up form, and the password is the same. Once logged into the site, you should be logged into the forum too! However, you may have to log in once, and your all set to go :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmccormick Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 On the topic of integrating a forum into osCommerce, I am curious about whether and how it would be possible to build a site that integrated Slashcode (for forum features) with osCommerce's shopping-cart, etc. features. Does anyone know if anything like this has been attempted, or how it could be done? thanks, Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
