Yes, they have those kinds of templates, too. But once you download the free version of ee, you’ll see what I mean about the templates. Or not. It’s really simple.

Anyways, as for parsing out the CSS and the HTML, this seems like far to much work

Moving the whole site to another cms is much more work. It’s not just the forums, the content of the site is dynamic, and we want to eventually have the folks posting in forums also posting articles on the website. Option 2 & 3 are out.

Option 3 has the advantages of being able to use the Joomla Templates without all the hassle of dissecting joomla

How complex are these joomla templates? The html looked pretty basic. I was able to isolate the…A little over-done. The css I just couldn’t access. That would be a bit long. But that would be the easiest part to import. Then some javascript, which, by the way, you can also use ee “templates” for. The “script” template. So you just {embed=script/whatever}.

Ah, Joomla does the same thing.

And it divides the rest up pretty easily.

This is it for the header:

<!--Begin Header-->

	        <div id="header">

	        <div class="wrapper">

	            <div class="padding">

	

	                <!--Begin Logo-->

	                        <a href="/" id="logo"></a>

	                <!--End Logo-->

	

	                <!--Begin Banner Position-->

	                        <!--apparently no banner here -->

	                <!--End Banner Position-->

	

	            </div>

	        </div>

	    </div>
