SMF using SSI or shtml to output to Mambo site...?

[npereira]

If you want your forum to look really integrated, yes. When visiting the forumpage, SMF's stylesheet will always overrule Mambo's. That is not a bad thing, unless there are entries defined that are also defined in Mambo.

So what do you think about that post:

Hi all,

new to all this mambo and SMF, I have a running site already but SMF is not intergrated to Mambo as i've been unable to make this work (the login in mambo login in SMF).

Anyway, i've been looking at this SSI.php and the SHTML and there is a load of stuff I could do with that. Problem is I dont know how to do this. I want to use one of the SSI statement "Top Boards Function: <?php ssi_topBoards(); ?>" and have that information posted in a side user menu of Mambo.

Does anyone know what I need to do? and how to add this to a user menu?

Thanks

Comming back to this original post, i cant seem to figure out what needs to be in the php file to include whatever SSI I want....
Need some examples...

Did you try to install the module I attached on the previous page? It displays the topboards..

yes, but it isnt just the SSI statement, there's a bunch of other php stuff in there that I have no clue about.
