How to add a php forum to a shared border?

[Stephen Horrillo]

I want my forum to display under the top shared border of
www.brokeragenttraing.com. BTW it's a phpBB bulletin board and can be found
at http://www.brokeragenttraining.com/forum/. The problem is that if I
download the board's folder into FP for linking, if I republish it, the
local version will overwrite the new data in the remote folder. Is there a
way to make the bulletin board open underneath the shared top border without
downloading the Bulletin board directory into Front Page?

No, however you can always manually create the content of the top shared border and add it to your
PHP pages as a table via a PHP Server Side Include. FP can not do this unless FP can manage the
pages within the same web.

much safer to keep it in a subweb and make the bb look like the main web.

That sounds like a good idea. I tried putting it in an inline frame and it
seemed to work. Are there any drawbacks to using an inline frame for a
forum?

only search engine and accessibility stuff.

dunno.
i keep my portal/forum as separate as I can in FP, i don't wanna muck up the db or anything else by Publishing.

Ok. So let me make sure I have the procedure right. The forum I use is
installed by Plesk on the server side. I take it I would import the forum
folder into FP. Then link index.php to the link bar in the top border. Then
convert the forum folder to a subsite but never publish the subsite?

Yes, but that means you also can not apply the FP theme and navigation.
