<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-GB><FONT size=2><FONT face="Courier New">I now a great solution (for me) that integrates PmWiki and phpBB2 as a single (looking) site. Basically I've added an 'action=hmtl' to return the raw html of any particular page. In my case, _all_ I wanted to do was get the Wiki sidebar in to the forum. I went down this route to keep the interface between PmWiki and phpBB2 as minimalistic as possible and in a format that the forum skin (style) can deal with. Additionally it's dynamic so updates to the sidebar in the Wiki are reflected in the forum.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-GB><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>I've ended up with something that works very well. See <A href="http://www.enginuity.org/">http://www.enginuity.org/</A> for the Wiki and click the 'Forums' link in the sidebar - they look very similar.</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-GB><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Before I can create a mini recipe I could do with some advice on how to 'unplug' my changes from pmwiki.php. Basically I've added a new function called HandleHTML, see below: </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-GB><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-GB><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>function HandleHTML($pagename, $auth = 'read') {<BR> if (PageExists($pagename)) {<BR> $page = RetrieveAuthPage($pagename, $auth, true, READPAGE_CURRENT);<BR> if (!$page) Abort('?cannot read $pagename');<BR> PCache($pagename,$page);<BR> $text = @$page['text'];<BR> $text = '(:groupheader:)'.@$text.'(:groupfooter:)';<BR> print MarkupToHTML($pagename, $text);<BR> }<BR> else {<BR> Abort('?$pagename does not exist');<BR> }<BR>}<BR></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-GB><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>... and extended the $HandleActions array accordingly, see below:</FONT></SPAN></P>
