De.scription and Message

I would like to have phpbb's forum pages display on a 3 column page, having the header and right columns as defined by importal. Is this possible? With screens getting larger and larger it seems more practical.

if you enable forum wide footers, the blocks you sett as footer blocks will display on the index
acp/IM Portal/Portal Configuration
Enable system-wide portal header = yes
Enable system-wide portal footer = yes
acp/IM Portal/Blocks Management/your default portal page
edit your current "right" blocks to be "footer" blocks
if you have right blocks, combined with footer blocks, your portal page will have 2 right columns

Thanks, that almost works. The forum page show the footer and is three columns wide but several of my other pages have a blank column between the Center and the footer.

I did switch all my right blocks to footer, so I am not sure why they are that way.

Any ideas?

It seems that wit phpbb generated center blocks (index, memberlist, faq & search) this works fine but importal generated pages like the main portal page there is a blank column on the right between the center and the footer.

There are no right columns in the block management any more. They were all switched to footer or deleted.


Any ideas?

check that forum wide blocks is enabled on all your portal pages in acp/IMPortal/page management, and that they use portal_body.tpl as the template file

[pmlabrier]

the main page uses portal_body.tpl a couple others use layout1.tpl, but all have forum wide blocks is enabled.

did you delete the cache in acp/IM Portal/Delete cache files?

Even with ALL blocks moved to the header there is still a blank right column on the portal?

ok, i checked up on this and you need to use layout1 for your portal page. Be sure to enable forum wide blocks for it in page management. Then the footer and header block should show up on most pages
