I am using phpbb3 and J! 1.5.7 and have used my template ja sanidine to integrate the forum to look the same as the main site. Here is the link, http://illusionnetwork.co.uk

My problem is the navigation on the forum page won’t show up. I have checked all links to my css and still have nothing showing. Only thing i can think of is its a conflicting css from the phpbb3 style im using. Could someone who knows about these thing have a quick look and try and help me solve this.

Thanks

Oh only viewed it using firefox 3

You are correct. There is a css conflict. The clearfix class in your phpbb css is over riding the clearfix in your ja-header css. Specifically the overflow: hidden part.

If you go to line 918 of template.css and find…

/* MAIN NAVIGATION
--------------------------------------------------------- */
#ja-mainnav {
padding: 0 10px;
margin: 0 10px;
height: 42px;
background: url(http://illusionnetwork.co.uk/distribution/styles/DVGFX/theme/images/mainnav-bg.gif) repeat-x top #000000;
position: relative;
z-index: 999;
}
and change to….

/* MAIN NAVIGATION
--------------------------------------------------------- */
#ja-mainnav {
padding: 0 10px;
margin: 0 10px;
background: url(http://illusionnetwork.co.uk/distribution/styles/DVGFX/theme/images/mainnav-bg.gif) repeat-x top #000000;
position: relative;
z-index: 999;
}
…. it will fix the problem – I think!!! I have not tested it too much but it seems to be a fix. If removing this line causes problems elsewhere then it is back to the drawing board I’m afraid.

I’m not experienced enough with css to tell you why this fixes it or what the correct fix would be. I suppose rename one of the classes but that would involve editing a lot of other part to reflect the changes. It’s really an accident that I fond this fix tbh. But who cares… it seems to work 🙂

PS: Very nice integration of phpBB by the way!!

Excellent work, thank you worked like a charm…

Just the active link colour lime green shows still on home even tho its shown as link 3 (forum)in the source.

I like phpbb3 and are really happy with the template integration.

Thanks, really appreciated.
