How difficult is it to integrate phpVMS into a core website? Is there a tutorial on doing this that I am missing or does it just work like regular skinning?
Well it’ll be standalone, you can’t “integrate” per say, it’ll just be the same design (as in, you view source) and copy your HTML over. You can’t really integrate the templates etc. What are you trying to integrate into?
On my server I have a base site that I created with its own template. I would like for phpVMS to “cooperate” with that base site. Even if that means that I would have to put a link in the base site called like “operations” or something of the sort. Right now the base site which is http://www.patva1.comli.com is in no way connected with phpVMS other than that it is in the url which is http://www.patva1.com.com/phpvms I hope this makes sense.
All you have to do is get the template, and the images and CSS and create a new skin, just make a copy of the crystal skin and rename it, follow the tutorials and you will have it done in no time. Put everything from the <div class=“content”> including that into the header.tpl, all the other stuff into the frontpage_main.tpl, and the footer into the footer.tpl file.

Thanks. I’ll get on that and let you guys know how it turns out. Might be a little while though, I’ve been really busy lately. Thanks again!
I actually used that skin as a test, it easy to use.
Yeah, follow my tutorial and Roger’s, mine starts out with a template like that and moves everything into it.
