 * I want to accomplish a simple thing, i want that my forum will open up inside
   my wordpress blog between my wordpress header and footer. I’ve installed wp-united
   and decided its to much trouble (changing the blog url, remembering to edit every
   file after updates) plus i don’t care for integration with users etc’. is there
   a simpler way to do that?
 * THanks

 * I just written a plugin (VVVI), proof-of-concept, that in theory will allow you
   to integrate X into wordpress, without having to modify X. I’ve tested it on 
   phpbb and mediawiki and seems to work:
 * [http://darkircop.org/vvvi](http://darkircop.org/vvvi)
 * It’s as simple as adding the URL to X in your wordpress page, and you’ll have
   X embedded into your wordpress template.
 * Technically it will fetch X and merge it with the master page (think server-side
   iframes).

 * Hi sorbo,
 * I just tried your plugin and followed your instruction.
 * I get an error /blog/wp-content/plugins/vvvi-0.1/vvvi.php on line 61 and I noticed
   there is no /0/ after the init.php file??
 * Any ideas?

 * Hi CrazySerb,
 * In the past I have used the following at the beginning of any PHP files that 
   need access to WordPress’ functions:
 *     ```
       <?php
       require( 'server_path_to_your_wordpress_web_root/wp-config.php' );
       wp_cache_init();
       ?>
       ```
   
 * So I assume that if you include this in the header of your forum template you
   should be able to access all the template functions available in WordPress.

 * Hi all,
    I’m trying to achieve the same in my website [hariz design](http://www.harizdesign.com).
   I have already seen the wp-united but i feel its already a bit complex to use.
   Any help appreciated.
