I know it's possible, I've seen it done. Now... The only question .. is how.

Anyone?

Put realmstatus in image mode, if it isn't already. Then check on the roster page what the link to it is (the whole thing should be one autogenerated image). Link to that.

lol thanks. too bad that didn't occur to me .. /smacks forehead. too much php coding lately.. the easy route didn't occur to me

for those wanting to do this.. here's EXACTLY what I did. and yes, it works.

~~FYI: I have my roster and my phpBB installed on the same directory, which allows them to integrate a bit easier. this required renaming index.php and search.php in the roster, and changing a couple links to those files in menu.php (for the index) and indexsearch.php (for search.php). However, I think this method should work even without being on the same directory.

## Pre-edting, go to your roster homepage... do a "View Source" and go find the realm status image link. it'll look something like this:

<td rowspan="2" valign="top" class="rowright"><img alt="WoW Server Status" src="http://www.your-roster-url-here.com/realmstatus.php" /></td> </tr>

## OPEN portal.php

## FIND

//
// END: Avatar On Index MOD
//

## ADD AFTER

//
// Begin Realm Status Block

$realm_img = '<img alt="WoW Server Status" src="http://mnm-guild.com/realmstatus.php" />';

//
// End Realm Status Block

## FIND

// Recent Topics
'L_RECENT_TOPICS' => $lang['Recent_topics'],

## ADD AFTER

// Realm block
'L_REALM_STATUS' => $lang['Realm_status'],
'REALM_STATUS_IMG' => $realm_img,

## OPEN templates/whatever template you're using/portal_body.tpl

## FIND
## wherever you want to put the block.. i suggest either left or right side columns..

## ADD

<table width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline">
<TR>
<td class="catHead" height="25"><span class="cattitle"><b>{L_REALM_STATUS}</b></span></td>
</TR>
<TR>
<td class="row1" height="25"><P><span class="genmed"><br /><center>{REALM_STATUS_IMG}</center><br /></span></td>
</TR>
</table>

## OPEN language/lang_english/lang_main.php

## FIND (which was added by installing EZ Portal)

$lang['Post_your_comment'] = 'Post your comment';
$lang['Welcome'] = 'Welcome';

## ADD AFTER

$lang['Realm_status'] = 'Realm Status'; // Realm Status

## SAVE and UPLOAD all files. .. Enjoy!

Thank you very much for this tutorial it worked like a charm.
