Is there a simple way to syndicate a forum?

Sure. You could make a new tempalte set, for example "syndication", and then call it with;

gforum.cgi?t=syndication

You may need to pass t=setname along in each URL though.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Andy. Does this mean that the forum can operate on a completely different website?

In theory, yes. You could just setup some mod_rewrite, so it does stuff like this (for each of the functions/commands);

http://www.domainc.om/cgi-bin/forum/forum.cgi?;category=7

... could translate to;

http://www.mymaindomain.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?;category=7&t=mydomain

This could be done with something like (on the domain.com site, not mymaindomain.com);

^forum/gforum\.cgi?category=.* http://www.mymaindomain.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?;category=$1&t=mydomain [L]

You could probably get a few ideas/pointers by looking at the "Search Engine Friendly" mod_rewrite codes; as they list the main functions.

Hope that helps.
