I'm developping an asp.net website and I would like to use YAF 1.9.5.5 as a forum within my master page.

I read the README file in the YAF folder but i don't understand everything. I'm developping my website locally with visual studio 2010.

I copied te yaf folder inside my asp.net project and then renamed the recommanded-web.config file in /forum/web.config. I also changed the YAF.appRoot key to ~/forum.

The problem is that my website doesn't build anymore. I get the following error:

which is pointing to the /forum/web.config file, at this line:

Any idea of what I should do?

Thank you 🙂

I tried this but it didn't resolve the problem. However, I read somewhere that the problem was due to the existance of two web.config files in my app. One for my website and the one from YaF. So I merged them and now it works 🙂 The forum is embedded at http://localhost:53245/myWebsite/Views/Forum.aspx.

But, I have another problem. I tried to embed the forum within my site, using MasterPage. I used the YaF.dll and created my container. This works well and I can see the forum in my website. The problem is when I click on a link (a topic, my profile, ...) the forum open in full mode. It is not embedded anymore.

The url is like : http://localhost:50343/myWebsite/forum/yaf_topics1_Test-Forum.aspx

I think this is because the YaF files are hosted in the /forum folder in my website.

In web.config, I have this :

I saw that those 2 lines are commented :

Maybe there is something to do with these but I don't know what 😞
