Hi guys,

I have been asking many questions here the last 6 months, working hard on launching my new site, I launched it today, please feel free to have a look.

I have a heard a few internet explorer 6 issues which I need to fix :( but on all latest browsers I have tested both mac & pc its working sweet.

A massive thanks to the mods here and members who have helped me get to this point. :)

Can you advice how you integrated vBulletin template into Vivvo's?

some one here called Gedsta helped me, the process is actually quite simple, this is the idea, you may need Gedsta's advice if your not to hot with this kind of thing.

Basically you need to copy some code from the header and footer from Vivvo templates, then go to your Vbulletin admin, go to styles/templates and open your skins template page, this is the trickier part, you need to implement it into your header and footer here, and once you have managed to do that correctly, you then need to copy your css from vivvo, and also add that to your vbulletin css.

Im sorry I cant be more help, I said to Gedsta he would have a lot of people asking that question, as i noticed lots were using the Iframe code I posted before, and it just wasnt ideal.

Maybe Gedsta can do a tutorial and post it up, as his tweak works perfectly.

Many thanks

Rather than using an iFrame, you need to spend more time in VB to make it look right. Adding the header and footer is only part of it, as you'll have to modify the CSS in VB to make it match.

Most servers will not allow you to "snatch" the live Vivvo header and display it in VB due ot file access security concerns. The easiest way to get around this is:

1. Open your Vivvo home page in a browser
2. View the source
3. Copy the header area and paste it into a text editor (NOT MS Word)
4. Check all the links in the header and make sure they have the FULL URL to your vivvo root (IE, add http://www.yourvivvosite.com/forums/)
5. Paste this code into the VB header template
6. I don't use VB so Im not sure where you'd paste this, but in general this is usually the area where the Vivvo header would be and it would be labeled as such. It's below the metadata and above the body tags.

You may want to consult the VB forums for help on modifying templates. They would know the most about this.

Hope this helps!
