Hi everyone! Just got up my new website... teaching myself here. http://babyandkidallergies.com  I am hosted on V7 and want to put a bulletin board on my pages.  I see in cpanel how to install a new bulletin board. Now the BIG question... HOW do I get it in my pages?  I have seen posts asking about this and it looks like I need to download files from somewhere?  I have no idea where to go as far as getting it PHYSICALLY on my pages.  

Thanks everyone!

RE: this part....  might want to change the phpbb_logo to your own and customize the board from the default..

How/where do you do that?  I see where you can download styles.. but where do you actually change the design... the logo, etc?  THANKS!

Well, If you want to put the board into your design then you can. You could do something like I did. I just placed the board in to my design.

Check it out:

I still have to work on the Board Skin. I want to make it so It matches the actual design.

the default logo needs to be saved as /templates/SubSilver/images/phpbb_logo.jpg it may be .gif not sure..  just save your company image over it.

* i hope thats right, not 100% positive

to change the domain name and  text under it . log in as administrator, go to the bottom of the page and click on the administration link . in there, look on the left for the general admin section and configuration . now, on the right side should be the form for all your settings. you can change the text that shows at the top of the page in there.
if you want to change the logo, etc. I have written a short tutorial about it.

Changing the phpBB Logo Image

IF you want to change the phpBB logo, there are two ways to do it.
Easy way:
If your logo images is a gif file, rename it to logo_phpBB.gif and
upload it to the templates/subSilver/images directory, overwriting
the one that is there.
If you are using a different style/template, then rename it/ upload it
to the appropriate directory.

A little harder way:
Go to the templates/subSilver (or whatever style you have) directory.
open the overall_header.tpl file, using a text editor like wordpad or
even notepad.(not Word)
Scroll down almost to the bottom of the file and look for:
Code:replace the path to the logo with whatever yours is.

All of this works for the subSilver template, your template may vary
a little, but the idea is the same. If you are having trouble finding
the name or path to the style logo, try this;
Go to your forum, right click on the logo that is there, go to properties,
that will show you the path and logo name to look for.


Making the logo image a link of your choice.

If you have replaced the phpBB logo with your own, and now want it to
link to your home page (or wherever), here is how:
Go to the templates/subSilver (or whatever style you have) directory.
open the overall_header.tpl file, using a text editor like wordpad or
even notepad.(not Word)
Scroll down almost to the bottom of the file and look for:
Code:
change like this:
Code:
You are done.

if you have any questions about phpBB please let me know, that is what I do.

phpbb@cyberosis.net
you can pm me here I check in often.

luck

I\'m going to be going through this myself soon (hopefully).  I would want a custom-looking site and board though (maybe something along the lines of mba-forums in layout, not style or color.  I have little \"coding knowledge/experience.  Is having someone help me put something like that together and manipulating phpBB something that would cost me a lot of money? or would it be fairly easy to do?

I\'m not a programmer.
It did not take me much time to put the phpBB into my design.
If you are going to use MODs then you do not need to worry.
All the MODs come with the Instructions on how to install them.

I think you\'ll be fine.
