Easy Snitz Layout Integration

5/4/2005 5:05:28 PM in Web Design by Matt

These header and footer files will work for Snitz Forums 2000 v3.4.05 (the latest version as of this writing).

Each template generally has has 4 areas that you want to customize for your page.  These areas I've named - before html, head, body and footer.  I have mapped these out in the inc_header.asp and inc_footer.asp files from the Snitz download so that you can easily wrap your layout around the forum.

Download here.

inc_header.asp details:

before html appears at line 227.
head appears at line 243.
body appears at line 290.

inc_footer.asp details:

footer appears at line 77.

The forum area of betaparticle.com is a good example.  Once I had a layout I was happy with I simply created a test page using that layout and put the text "Forum Here" in the area where I wanted the forum to appear in the layout.

I saved that html file as test.html in a subdirectory I created called "forum" on my local machine so that the paths would be correct. Be sure and save your test.html file to the right directory where your forum will reside - or use absolute paths for anything in the layout that requires a path, like stylesheets or images. Then I copied and pasted the code from the test file into the Snitz header and footer files using my text editor (i.e., notepad).
