    hey out there expressionengineers 😊

    when i tried to include the forum within a template {exp:forum} then the forum gets included as a whole website with <head><body>-tags etc…

    is there another tag or parameter which include the forum “inline” instead of standalone?
    or do i need to adjust the forum theme so that the forum looks like it is included?

    thanks for help,
    martin

    Somebody will have to verify this to be true though, I think it’s pretty much self contained meaning you will need to match it to your templates by editing the default theme.

    hello Sue,
    i think i go with the theming solution of integrating the ee forum into my website, from which the thread posted from NateTronn relating to the minimalist theme was perfect.
