Hi guys...
I've set up a wordpress blog on my site.
I want to have a forum too, and Vanilla looks excellent.
Is there any way to integrate the forum into my Wordpress installation, so that it appears between the header and footer of the site.
In other words, I want it to look like it is part of the website and not separate.
I don't know very much about PHP but if it is possible, I would appreciate any help!
Thanks.

When v2 is released, you'll find this type of thing a lot easier (you'll only need to edit 2 files to make it happen in Vanilla 2).

I tried looking at Vanilla 2, but github is intimidating.
I guess that since this forum is running on v2, the release must be pretty close, but any ideas roughly when it'll be released?
Thanks.

The installation process needs some work, so it's a little difficult for most people to get running if they encounter any problems. Once it's running, I've found it to be pretty solid.

(if you need an example of the integration, I can provide one)
Now, if someone looked at how that rokbridge works perhaps we could make something like that for vanilla and wordpress.. - That would be aweosme.
Something like this:
yourgardensite.com
yourgardensite.com/yourwordpressinstallation
yourwordpress.com/yourbridge - linked to yourwordpressinstallation
I hope I was not too confusing ...
@lenwood - I think those 2 files are only for skinning or theming the vanilla2 installation to make it look like your wordpress blog, not actually integrating it
I think so anyway. Am I wrong? I just looked at the 'A Quick-Start Guide to Creating Themes for the Garden Platform' documentation page and that is the idea I got

[edit]
Will there be any way to intertwine forum comments and article comments?
For example, I plan to have wordpress automatically generate a forum topic upon article creation containing the article itself. Then I plan to make wordpress comments on that article post onto the topic on the forum and vice versa. So basically what I'm trying to ask is how integrated will this update be?
