Question Beginners Question Kunena Look

Hello,

Im new to joomla and kunena. I have the following question.
I have made a link to the kunena forum on my site and specified to open the forum in a new window without browser options, this works fine, Kunena opens in new window, with just the forum, no browser options and no website template, exactly what i want, but when i click any option in Kunena the view goes back to my website template and kunena displayed in the centre part of this template, i do not want this, i want the new window to show only the forum, how can i achieve this ?

I think it'll always point back to the default forum unless you hack it. This is what I'd call a messy solution but it should work. Write an article in joomla content and use an I-frame to display your forum in it (or use Joomla!'s wrapper function). Then change your forum link to point to this article/wrapper. See how that goes and I you encounter any problems we'll help out

I tried the wrapper option, it does not work. It behaves the same as the direct forum link.
Thx for trying though

Hold on a moment :S ... the forum opens in a new window with no Joomla website template?

Even though this is an unusual application I still followed the procedure on a one of my test sites and, indeed, my forum opened in a new browser winder, without browser nagivation options ... but it loaded the Joomla template for me! :huh:

I cannot see how geurtd wants his menu link to operate because I don't have a test account to use at his website. Sorry, I can't help you.

I will test a few things later this evening and come up with some sort of solution for you.


Edit:its just that i've to go to work now but the thought i would have is to create a html framset with the blank for displayed (this may work)

I have created a test account for the site.
user test, password test.
When you click the forum link MAD Forum it looks exactly as i want it, but when you click on a topic (welcome to kunena) it defaults back to the website template layout, i want to avoid this since the forum then becomes too small in my opinion.
The Forum wrapper behaves exactly the same.
