How do I put my forum onto my website?

[Dillon]

I can't figure out through the tutorials how to allow users to view my forum while they are on my website so you can see the top panel too. I just put a link to it, but it doesn't look as good and you pretty much have to open a new window.

Also is there an admin area for just your website that you cant access from the customers area?

Thanks,
Dillon

Hi,
Here is the part of the tutorial which explains how to install a mambo module/component or mambot:

And here you can download SMF or phpBB addons:

Here you can find detailed instructions about how to add SMF forum to your Joomla (or Mambo) site:

If you find difficulties with the installation, please, ask our Support team for assistance, I am sure they can help!
