Contest $10: Need help with Joomla

    I'm trying to do the Joomla-phpBB3 Mehdi Bridge and seem to have stumbled somewhere during this. I thought I did everything successfully, but I am coming up with an error. It says '{PHPBB_BODY_HTML}' instead of showing the forums. Here are the boards: realcollegefootball dot net/boards . Here are the directions for installation (which I thought I did correctly): http://mehdiplugins dot com/misc/phpbbjoom.htm . Not sure if it matters or not, but here is the code I have in my joomphpbb_conf2.php file:

    <?php
    //0 no integration
    //1 visual integration
    //2 user integration
    //3 visual & user integration
    
    $joomIntegrate = 3;
    $joomUrl="http://realcollegefootball.net/"; 
    $joomRel= "../"; // relative path from phpbb
    $joomQS="option=com_phpbb&Itemid=0"; //you might want to override the Itemid
    //----------------------------------------------------------
    $joomSql="joomphpbb_bridge"; //don't touch unless you know what you are doing
    Code (markup):
    $10 to however helps me solve this.

    Thanks

    This is where you went wrong:
    
    3 - Install joomla component :
    Still in the "others" folder, there's the component com_phpbb15.zip . Install it in Joomla's backend. Important: 
    In the Joomla menu you want, create an "External link" Item that directly point to your phpbb install 
    (example: http://www.mysite.com/phpbb/). 
    Do not link the Phpbb Component! Remark: the component is required by the bridge even if you don't link to it. 
    
    Code (markup):
    Reinstall, and Do not link the phpBB Component!

    Can I get my ten bux now :) ?

    No because I did that correctly... If you looked, I had it linked to /boards rather than ?com_phpbb ...

    Hi basketballboy, make the link from the menu to your forum's/boards' url not the component of mehdi..i.e. put directly link to Phpbb's folder. You can do this by adding "external link" from joomla's new menu item. The content will show up automatically then. Good luck!

    Ok. Have you tried this ?
    Make sure you have this in your header:
    
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/system/css/system.css" type="text/css" />
    
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/system/css/general.css" type="text/css" />
    
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template ?>/css/template.css" type="text/css" />
