Hi

Here's the issue.

I need to include YAF in an existing website using masterpages. Is there any way for me to includes a masterpage in the YAF project? I tried but got some weird errors.. Anyone did it yet?

Regards

Well, I did manage to master YAF somehow, but it's not natural.

Jaben[1...13], is there an easy way to integrate all the pages inside a master page?

See, It IS a very attractive solution in case you want to build an entire site with YAF integrated within. It'll reduce the necessity of portals like DNN & Rainbow for building a whole site - sometimes you want a not-big site with YAF in it & to build it alone.

Is it a dreadful feature?

I find it hard.... it's hard to find...
yea, well, whatever.. nevermind..

I've done a simple test by editing the default.aspx page and I've incapsulated it in a masterpage container. it work fine without problems. Where have you found troubles?

I've also just added a MasterPageFile="NameOfMasterPage.Master" tag to the page directive, then wrapped the source code inside of asp:Content tags and it worked fine.

Just to be clearer... here are the modified Default.aspx and MasterPage.Master files to start with. Just unzip (and overwrite) in your YAF root directory.

They are very bare. Unfortunately, the "PageTitle" doesn't change in this version. If you have v1.9.1 Final, there is a way to get the page title to update on master pages. (There's a OnPageTitle event in the YAF control -- hook it and update the title.)
File Attachment(s):
MasterPageKit.zip (1kb) downloaded 151 time(s).

Hi & thanks,

I'm still not familiar enough with with YAF so I don't know whether I have to change only the Default.aspx or more pages?

I chenged my files similar to the files you added. Is that all I need?

Thanks.

I can verify that it works in 1.9.3

I just had to make a few changes to fourmpage.cs to handle the head and title elements located in the master

Just overwrite the default.aspx with the one supplied. It's extremely simple -- that's all there is to do here.

I am trying to get YAF to sit inside a masterpage I have created and I am using throughout my site.

My default YAF page looks like this

Code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" ValidateRequest="false"  MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master"%>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">

<script runat="server">
    public void Page_Error( object sender, System.EventArgs e )
    {
        Exception x = Server.GetLastError();
        YAF.Classes.Data.DB.eventlog_create( YafContext.Current.PageUserID, this, x );
        YAF.Classes.Utils.CreateMail.CreateLogEmail( x );
    }        
</script>




    <form id="form1" runat="server" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <YAF:Forum runat="server" ID="forum"></YAF:Forum>
    </form>

</asp:Content>




And when I go to view my forum I get the following error message:

Quote:

There has been a serious error loading the forum. No further information is available.

Please contact the administrator if this message persists.


Can someone help please.
Thanks,

Edit your web.config , turn off CustomErrors and the real error message will magically appear.

Cheers for that, Im being told that The file '/forum/MasterPage.master' does not exist.

This is true but I thought putting ~/ before the name would direct it to the root folder so it should pick up the MasterPage.master from the root directory.

~ is the application root, not necessarily the same as site root. If you have the yaf folder configured as an application, then ~/ would be the root of yaf.

OK, thanks for clearing that up for me. Do I have to run YAF as an App or can I somehow point the Default to the site root for the master page.
