How do I skin mambo with my frontpage templates?

[Tom Gahagan]

Done!

Ew. Could you put them back on, please?

it's entirely possible. I skinned, deployed and maintained an old PHP-Nuke
with FrontPage 2002. ;-)

So, how did it taste? A little gamey, I suppose? ;-)

Tom-

My sincere apologies, my bad. Working too late and frustration set in and I
jumped to a conclusion and I see the joke now, I am sorry. It was funny in
retrospect. Sorry I took it personally. I learned something today from you!
(to chill the heck out )

Sincere Best Wishes to You, in the Light of Day, it made me laugh.

me/us how you went about it?

Thanks much

Can't say much about skinning mambo, but I do seem to recall a boy named
Sambo who turned a couple of tigers into butter at some point...

sure,
open the distro folder with FrontPage:
file/ open web, browse to the "guts" of the nuke you've unzipped on your
system and open it as if it were a web, then let FrontPage add it's
metadata.

rig up your MySQL DB (I used a PHP MyAdmin to upload the .sql file that
creates the structure).

back in FrontPage edit whatever configuration file the instructions call for
and hit file/ publish web, type in the http:// destination where you want to
publish and let it fly.

once you get it up and running it'll be time to either modify one of the
provided skins or make your own.

If you have trouble getting a wysiwyg environment with the PHP files that
make up the skin, just copy the file and rename it from whatever.php to
whatever.htm after you do what you need to do, change it back to .php.

when you edit the templates be careful as there is some php code in there
that you must not "break".

HTH
