How did SMF do it?

Hello, sorry if this is the wrong place to post.

But-
How did SMF integrate their forum with the rest of the site? (Especially the home page). I've been looking into a few portals but couldn't fiind one that looked similar. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

We're actually not using a portal - we're using a feature called SSI (Server Side Includes). One of our former developers wrote a post on it: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=163770.0

That's just what I was looking for. Thanks!
