	<?php include_once("document_path_of_oneadmin_folder/config.php"); include_once("document_path_of_oneadmin_folder/common/session.php"); include_once("document_path_of_oneadmin_folder/common/css.php"); ?>

	* Note: Always put the above code to the line 1, without any preceding character(s), not even a space.


2. In your .php web page file, put the line below to call the menu area - user login.

	<?php include("document_path_of_oneadmin_folder/forum/home.login.php"); ?>


3. Meanwhile, to display the forum's content area, put the line below.

	<?php include("document_path_of_oneadmin_folder/forum/home.forum.php"); ?>


4. For sample integration code, please refer to the source code of this file. To do this, open the file with your text editor.

** To find your 'document_path_of_oneadmin_folder', check the path['docroot'] value from the oneadmin/config.php file


TIPS
----

You can put your front-end file in any location you like, but put the call to the One Admin folder using the relative path.
   
Example, if your front-end file is at   http://yourdomain.com/forum.php and the One Admin folder is located at   http://yourdomain.com/oneadmin/ , use the code below. 
	<?php include_once("oneadmin/config.php") ?>  

	<?php include_once("oneadmin/common/session.php") ?>  

	<?php include_once("oneadmin/common/css.php") ?>  

	<?php include("oneadmin/forum/home.login.php") ?>  

	<?php include("oneadmin/forum/home.forum.php") ?>
