So, I was wondering how one would be able to integrate phpbb into my website. If I had the website designed one way, and I wanted the website theme to bleed over into the phpbb site, how would I do this? Would I have to design my forum's theme just so, or is there some fancy way to do it that I don't know?
 
Is your website HTML or some other CMS?

There are bridges available for some CMS and if it is HTML you could put the forum in an IFRAME on a website page
 
An iFrame is an HTML structure that allows another HTML document to be inserted into an HTML page. The iFrame is set up as a window frame of a specified size that scrolls along with the rest of the page, but the iFrame’s content can itself be scrolled if it is larger than the iFrame window.

Basically it allows you to put one page in another.

--- YOUR QUESTION ---

To integrate a theme, you just really have to change the header and footer and a few other things.
 
Well, I have never really been able to customize phpbb themes. Gotta put an image bg(most likely), and change header and footer...not really wanting to do that 😛

Well why not pay somebody to do it then?

I most likely will 😛
 
God don't use an iframe, worst choice ever.

You could just create more php pages with the same style, and integrating user features like log in/out and displaying their username and the ucp, etc etc.

I think phpbb communities still has a tutorial on how to do something similar though not exactly what i am thinking of.
