Vbulletin

[echo@]

Im trying to figure out how to pull my indexu template using vbulletin.

Wondered if anyone has done this and could point me in the right direction.

for instance, I want my vbulletin to include all of indexu's functions to enable the template to display properly, question number one, where or what file do I modify to do this? Could I just add

include("../application.php"); 

to vbulletin's global.php?

Question number two, how would one go about calling indexus header and footer? Could I do it by modifying vbulletins index.php file? And add

DisplayTemplate($theme_path . "header.html");


 DisplayTemplate($theme_path . "footer.html"); 

on my configuration vbulletin lives in a directory within indexu, i.e.; ../indexu/forums

Im really not interested in user integration.

At first I created a custom page with vbulletin embedded as an iframe, then scraped that idea and embeded as an object. This worked fine and displayed the header and footer.
But for instance, if I displayed the latest active thread on indexus index.html http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158895
then clicked the url I was taken straight to vbulletins index.php, this obviously defeated the whole idea and I was stuck again.

Any ideas, am I on the right track

You could just do an include and use the full path of the indexu header and/or footer. If you use variables then it gets more confusing.

could you be more speciffic please bruce

I don't know how much more specific I can get, use an include with the full path is pretty specific already.

<? include('your/path/to/the/indexu/header.html') ?>

[echo@]

what type of include is

 <? include

[Bruceper]

If you can use short tags, that's a php include

otherwise use <?php
