<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE that required settings of this shortcode resides under the WP_w3all Preferences menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use the w3allphpbbiframe shortcode<\/em> it is required to apply into the phpBB template files overall_header.html<\/strong> and overall_footer.html<\/strong> the javascript code as explained into this page procedure<\/strong><\/a>, and the result will be a full template integration that can be applied into any WP theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE that it is Mandatory<\/strong> to set the WP page-name where the shortcode will be added, into the related shortcode option field of the integration plugin admin page, or the shortcode simply will not fire<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

then use like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[w3allphpbbiframe wp_page_name=\"board\" wp_page_iframe_top_gap=\"300\"]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    \n

      • url_push<\/strong> param if omitted is set to YES, that mean when links are clicked into the phpBB iframe, the URL will be pushed into the browser\u2019s address bar. If you want to avoid this behavior, use\/add this param like this into the shortcode: url_push=\"no\"<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        <\/p>\n\n\n\n
        note that the URL push is always avoided when the shortcode is used into the homepage and should in several more conditions. In short words, in all these situations where, when if the URL is pushed into the parent address bar, it cause\/lead to a WordPress page NOT found, in the case that there is an intentionally browser\u2019s page reload (because the pushed URL is an URL that WP will not found)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
        <\/p>\n\n\n\n
          \n

            <\/p>\n\n\n\n
            To edit some css\/html output or something else if required, relevant files to look into are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
