Integration with Dreamweaver |
Hi,
I've built my website using a combination of Dreamweaver CS3, PHP and MySQL.
I've also added a forum (phpbbb), photo gallery (coppermine) and blog
(wordpress). Problem is, I'm not satisfied with how each of these integrates
into the look and feel of my website, also having to launch into a seperate
windows.
Each has (unless I'm not doing something right), limited capabilities to
tailor the colors, add my header & footer, etc. As these are pretty common
tools, I'm hoping someone will have a suggestion on either other tools that I
can more easily integrate into my existing site or help with how to properly
apply CSS to these tools.
Hope I've posted this in the right place. Thanks.

Hi,
I tried setting the target to parent, and the page does load in the same window now, but what's the difference between the parent and self options?

If you have already integrated these into your site then you have done a good
job. I have no experience of the tools you mention but with regard to launching
in separate windows, have you tried setting the link target to _parent to load
in main window?
For the overall look and feel of your site you have a couple of options.
1. Apply dreamweaver templates to the tools. If this does not work then you
have a more complex option.
2. I'm assuming you already have css in your own pages. You may have to add
your css by <style> tags or insert a link to your css file. This should
somewhat change text and link to match your own. As for header and footer You
could add these by using a file include. IE, create just the header and footer
in separet html files and then see if you can include them in the top and
bottom of the pages you need to. It will take time if the tools have many pages
because you may have to do it manually.
