Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible to integrate G2 into my existing fluid css website. i just want the thumbnail view though, because the screen will get cramped if I try and fit the whole G2 interface into the site with all the rest of the menus and such. is there a g2 method that draws the thumbnail portion of G2? It would also be nice if I could use the users from my existing phpBB2 database as the users for G2.

edit: I guess it is important enough to say the site I want to combine with G2 is already built using php and mysql, so the code i write to combine the two should mesh well together. I guess I just need a starting point!

If you just want to wrap G2 with your site header/sidebar then make changes in templates/global.tpl (make a .local copy). If you want to remove portions of the normal G2 view you can also do this with .local templates (look in layouts/matrix/templates).
If you want real integration between your site and G2 (user-level integration) then look at the forum topic here on CMS Integration.. you can mimic what our work-so-far on Xaraya integration does.
