I looked at http://mac1.no/ and noticed they have the forum actually embeded within the content of the site, instead of in a whole separate window. I would like to know how to do this so bad. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, it's not actually embedded, they're just themed to look similar by using the trick outlined at the very bottom of http://kepp.net/drupal/node/1

Watch out for Mac1.no v.4 in the next couple of weeks, phpBB 3.x and Drupal 5.2 :)

Wow really? It looks fantastic, I would have never spotted that.

Are you the owner of this site by any chance? I really like the overall theme of the site and I'm hoping to make something similar for my site.

I am one of the owners. You can see the same trick on iPod1.no, Linux1.no and Video1.no

How did you get that latest forum topics block (Siste fra forumet and Siste ubesvarte) on the side of the forum. Isn't that dynamic Drupal content? I don't understand how you would put the variables for that into the PhpBB template.

I basically copied the code in the last function in phpbb.module to a separate PHP file and include it from includes/*footer* (typing from memory, not sure about the details). The generated string is then passed to the template as a variable.

I should add, it needs a tiny bit of tweaking since Drupals SQL abstraction layer functions have to be replaced with phpBBs, but that is quick.

I also integrated phpbb3 in drupal and I didn't change that much code( hide some headers in phpbb )
but I used php snippets with Iframes.

Look add
http:\\testweb.dyndns.biz

if any body is interested I will place the snippets in the 'site software' menu.

Amigob,
