[gomcoite]

hi can anyone explain me, how can i add phpbb 3 forum to my site www.gomco.co.nr with the same template/skin/style as the main website?

thanks...

please reply me urgent...

is forum ok or should i use a cms...

I would suggest that you install phpbb3 from your cpanel (Cpanel -> Fantasico de luxe -> phpbb3), and put a link from your website to the forums.

About the template issue, this is a very common issue and the short answer is that you will either have to make your own phpbb3 template or find one that you like. It is rare that your will get a perfect match with your site's template but have a look, here is the link.

Edit: If you don't want an actual forum then a cms would be easy to use.

i will suggest you to migrate your current site to a new CMS.It will be easy just as copy and paste because CMS is powered with an in-built WYSIWYG editor.

CMS will have its own forum so no need to think about templates,as both of your site and forum will be unique in its theme.
i will recommend e107.You may contact me for installing e107,because its not in Cpanel -> Fantasico de luxe .

Many other CMS are there at your Cpanel -> Fantasico de luxe ....

yeah you could do that with Fantastico but you would have a lot of customizing to do...

thanks sohail... but can some1 tell we where can i find a tutorial that teaches me how to customize or make a template for phpbb3
Edit:

my site http://www.subeeshr.co.cc is done with e107.
You can integrate even phpbb3 in e107(effort is there).But usually no need of that e107 has its own forum.

official site of http://e107.org/news.php

e107 demo: http://www.opensourcecms.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=133&Itemid=159
