Embed my forums into my theme somehow? (2 posts)

    my site is http://www.dbdclan.com for my videogame clan.

    The forums we are using are on a different host. I was wondering if it's possible to keep the banner and menu for dbdclan.com while having our forum in some sort of iframe or something like that in the "content" section.

    What would be the best way to go about doing something like this?

    You can embed the external site via iframe by creating a custom page template which you upload to your theme folder and publish in Write Page by choosing from dropdown. Page Template could be as simple like this:

    <?php
    /*
    Template Name: Clan Forum
    */
    ?>
    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <div id="iframeforum">
    <iframe src="http://deathbeforedishonor.forumotion.net/forum.htm" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="1000">MLS Finder</iframe>
    </div>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    and style accordingly in your theme's style.css
    Note that you would have to delete the customized header you placed in your forumotion.net.
