How would I achieve this layout?

I'm looking to make my forum and blog under one roof. One header basically.

I'm looking for the same seamlessness as Lynn has at her site between her wordpress platform and her vbulletin platform (which is mainly keeping the header the same and managable). I'm looking to do the same with Wordpress and another standalone bulletin software, probably vBulletin as well.

ClickNewz! Internet Marketing Blog - Her wordpress platform
ClickNewz Members Area - Her forum platform

I asked Lynn how she did this, but she had the design work outsourced.

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

How about if your header was similar to Pat Flynn?

His header is generated by his wordpress theme. How would you keep the wordpress header above an installation of vbulletin or another forum solution?


Thanks again!

PS. I'm not looking for wordpress plugin solutions on this one. I'd like standalone software.

    Its super simple css. Read what i wrote in your last post about about google chrome/safari inspect element.

    Just add a custom menu to wordpress that links to domain/forum, install the forum software in that directory, and edit the forum css to match the wordpress css.

    Or use BBpress.
    Or pay someone to do any of the above.

    Old post, with the site in question gone, but the instructions for using the actual wordpress menu inside vbulletin can get you started

    Thanks for the replies.

    I've almost got it figured it with a simple php include plugin.

    It simply pulls a specified chunk of code from the wordpress site and spits it out where specified in the forum templates.

    I can see it's pulling the correct chunk of text and putting out the correct file. But when trying to pull it from the forum CSS, I keep getting this error:

    Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/public_html/prosperityclicks.com/wp-content/uploads/pixopoint-theme-integrator/chunk1.html' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in index.template.php on line 169

    Can't seem to figure this one out yet.

    Woo, almost got it.

    The place the file was pulling from was not correct.
