intergrating jitbit forum into my mojoportal site

Hola,

Have recently integrated jitbit forums and nested the masterpages so that the look and feel remains intact throughout my mojoportal site. Everything seems to of worked ok apart from the main navigation.

<portal:SiteMenu ID="SiteMenu1" runat="server" UseTreeView="false"
                        HideMenuOnSiteMap="false" Direction="Horizontal" style="width:100% !important;" ></portal:SiteMenu>

 

I can see the div where the navigation bar should be but nothing appears within that div. If I  however put straight text or html into that div in the layout.master file it shows up ok in the forum page.

Please can anyone advise me of why this could be happening?

Thanks

Re: intergrating jitbit forum into my mojoportal site

your forums app doesn't know what that control is or where to load it from, it is probably throwing an error but the error is handled. I'm not sure if it could even load the control outside its own application boundary.

You could try to declare it at the top of the master page like this:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="portal" TagName="SiteMenu" Src="~/Controls/SiteMenu.ascx" %>

but I'm not sure it can load it.

The SiteMapDataSource would also have to be present.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Thanks for the reply,

Tried that and unfortunately no dice.  I am now trying to get the forum to display in an iframe instead. This works ok but I'm unable to make the iframe display at 100% height so I have had to set the height as such occasionally see the vertical side bars when the content overspills. Any idea how I can get around this?
