Wrapping bridge phpBB inside Geeklog

Authored by: jlhughes on Thursday, November 21 2002 @ 12:03 am EST

I've developed a quick solution to wrapping a bridged phpBB inside Geeklog.

1. Install the bridge and phpBB and make sure phpBB is recognizing the user AND the Root level access of the user.

2. Create a file with the following contents:


<?PHP 
//import geeklog functions 
//this assumes file is in same directory with lib-common 
require_once('lib-common.php'); 
$display .=COM_siteHeader(); 
$display .= "<iframe src='http://yourdomain.com/bridge/phpBB203/index.php' name='phpBB' id='phpBB' width='100%' height='100%' frameborder='0'></iframe>"; 
echo $display; 
?>

Change "yourdomain.com" to your domain name. This assumes the standard bridge/phpBB203 install.

I've done only limited testing, but this appears to accomplish the goal of getting the Geeklog header and left blocks wrapped around the phpBB203 output.

resizing IFRAME problem

Authored by: jlhughes on Thursday, November 21 2002 @ 08:55 am EST

Some browsers (IE on Win) don\'t like to have the browser window resized with an IFRAME element. When you resize the browser window, the IFRAME reverts to the default height, which is something like 10 rows.

The low-tech solution is to reload the page after resizing.

Can anyone offer a better way to get IE on Windows to automatically resize the IFRAME when it resizes the browser window?

NOTE: This problem with resizing DOES NOT occur with Netscape v.7 on Windows or with IE v.5 on a Mac.

resizing IFRAME solution

The problem with IFRAME shrinking to a default 10 rows when the browser window is adjusted, can be fixed by changing the height value in the IFRAME src.

width=\'100%\' and height=\'1200\'

This keeps MSIE from collapsing and appears to be ignored by both MSIE and Netscape 7 when the window height is less than 1200. In other words, the left blocks determine the depth of the window, not the 1200 value in the IFRAME.

NOTE: Netscape v.6 on NT does not properly render the IFRAME. You get the header and left blocks, but the main window where the IFRAME should be is blank. Version 7 of Netscape on NT has no problem with the IFRAME.
