I am making a page with css for styling and php for browsing and dynamic
content.
I use a simple switch statement to get the main content of each page into
the same <div> tag like this:
<div id="main"><?php
switch(@$_GET['maintext']) {
default;
echo "Welcome to the official website of bladablada! Feel free to
navigate around and get to now us better";
$maintitle="WELCOME";
break;
case "news":
echo "A bunch of news";
$maintitle="NEWS";
break;
case "about":
include ("about.php");
$maintitle="ABOUT";
break;
case "gallery":
include ("gallery.php");
$maintitle="SCREENSHOTS";
break;
case "stats":
include ("stats.php");
$maintitle="STATISTICS";
break;
case "forum":
include ('forum/index.php');
$maintitle="FORUM";
break;
}
?></div>
However. I am not that competent in PHP to make my own forum, so I use a
premade forum. Invision Power Board actually.
What I want to do is to get all the links I press in the forum (after
loading "forum/index.php" into the div-tag with id=main) to show up in the
same area. Not sure if this is a php question actually, but...
What happens now is that when I press the link "Forum" in my main navigation
on my site, the index.php of course loads into the div-tag with id=main. BUT
when I press a topic or something within this page (index.php), it opens up
in a new page. I know why, but I wonder if there is a way to get the rest of
the links in the forum to stay within my div-tag other than tracking down
all the variables and such in the forumscripts and alter them? (That's a
hell of alot java and php to work through)
Any help is appreciated.
