Hi There,

I'm testing Drupal since two days and found it very interesting and fast compared to my Postnuke installation. But my actual problem is quite simple, how to create a simple html/php webpage, accessible from the navigation menu ? (Like a download page, or a FAQ, etc)

Yes, there is contents like books or story, but they all display "Submitted by...", with the user pictures, date, etc. Yes I tried the search function but it is kinda hard to find the right keywords.

My main goal is to finish the phpBB2 integration, I got it working but it loads on a new page, and I want it integrated, keeping the blocks.

Thanks in advance for you help
Ludovic

There you find the tab "configure", where you can define node types to show or not show "submitted by on date". For what you're trying to achieve, you'll probably want to change the settings for node type "page".

To add a menu item, go to "administer" "menus" and try the "add menu item" & "add menu" options.

Thanks for the advices, finally I can display a simple page, I also found where to disable the user pictures for contents except for the comments, so that's nice.

Now, about PHP :D
I tried the include function:
<? include("phpBB2/index.php"); ?>

but this doesn't work since the base url passed by Drupal look strange to phpbb, I'm getting errors like
warning: Failed opening './extension.inc' for inclusion.

I wonder how the guy from http://linux1.no/forum/ did it...

I guess he just modified the phpbb theme to fit the drupal theme. as the forum resides in its own subdirectory.

You could create a static page in drupal with an iframe tag that has the src attribute to the phpbb index page.
