phpbb template integration

[no9to5guy]

Hi, I've been trying for 3 days now to integrate my template of phpbb into photopost, I have from both the latest versions. Integrated forum stylesheets is set to yes, what can I've done wrong?
www.holidaysforbrits.com/gallery and /forum are the url's
Thanks.

My forum is in grey, when I switch to yes in pp that it should integrate, then the gallery turns blue??
Is the integration only with the database, or should it take the whole template on? I mean the banner on top etc,...
I don't have to ftp the same template as I'm using in phpbb in my pp folder do I?
I've also seen other sites integrated and at the bottom it says powered by photopost integrated with phpbb or similar, should that come up automatically or is that added manually, not that I want that, but that's how I might know there's a problem.
Thanks

Actually your gallery looks nice but I suspect your issue is this. We integrate with the file cased CSS stylesheet. If you alter a stylesheet in phpbb it only updates the database version. You need to export the stylesheet to its file version. The easiest way I think is simply to view the source and do a copy and paste by ftpiong to server and editing the file cased server and pasting in the actual stylesheet you modified and is stored in the database

Hi, thanks, but I did not alter the css in phpbb.
If you look at photopost in action page at the phpbb integrated site photozo, that's what I want to become, you switch between forum and gallery and everything at the top stays the same, banner, links.... If I upload that template in phpbb and set the integration in photopost to yes, should that come like that automatically or how should I do that?
Thanks

Your gallery looks different today as it is grey not blue as it was.

Now remember we only integrate the css elements of any style. If you have custom templates with a style with hardcoded table images that is not carried over to the gallery. You would need to alter your pp-open and pp-close templates to add such images.

Your gallery is correctly pulling the proper CSS colors that I see

Yes I know, I've been playing around to see what template looks best with my site.
So to add a link to my forum from the gallery and reversed and have the same graphic at the top, I need to change the HTML manually if I understand you correctly?

Oh and for those who have the same question like me, after you changed your style, delete the cookies on you computer before you check the integration out, I didn't so couldn't see the changes untill I figured that out.

Yes if you want to use a style that not only uses style classes but hard coded images around tables you would need to modify our pp-open and pp-close templates.

To add a graphic and links simple make a header html file and link to it in admin global options yep.
