i used Joomla in the end, customed a template i found, set up gallery and forum and chat room and just need to add content...its a local website

one thing i find annoying, when i make my html and paste it into the content, i choose a different background colour for my content than that of the template, it still shows the template background colour in the post as opposed to the colour i picked in html

this is the theme i chose


tribute theme

but i modified all the orange graphics to be blue

nice template, I don't dig the orange but blue would be nice

Does anybody know of a fairly easy way to merge databases? i have on my website, 3 different parts to it....

a forum using phpbb v3
the main joomla website
a coppermine image gallery.

Trouble is, they all need separate log in as they all have their own databases,
so how can i make my website so that there is only one point of registration instead of 3?

Thanks for your reply Stu, i rather like coppermine and phpbb v3 though so i prefer to stick with them if i can. I will look into finding a tutorial for merging user tables, i wont mind attempting it as long as i find a comprehensive guide to follow. If i do fuck it up though then i will consider installing the joomla extensions you mentioned for an easier life. will also see if i can find a bridge for phpbb v3 in case one exists then there would only be two logins
