MyPHPSiteBuilder - What Are 3rd Party Fusions?

What Are 3rd Party Fusions?

A "Fusion" is a set of files developed by Mirage-Net that allows you to use one of your favorite 3rd Party scripts (Forum, Classifieds, BLog, etc) while keeping a seamless layout that matches your main MyPHPSiteBuilder driven website. We aren't going to re-invent the wheel. A good script is a good script... and everyone has their own opinion of the best one for the job. But... our "Fusion" solutions allow you to use your favorite with your MyPHPSite without breaking stride. Should you decide to change your site's "skin" to match the season... your Forum (as an example) will automatically change to match your site... providing a clean, professional transition for your site visitors.

Perhaps the best way to demonstrate is with examples. The domains driven by MyPHPSiteBuilder that are illustrated below elected to provide a forum to site visitors. The forum script we are happy to recommend is a script called "Simple Machines Forum" (SMF) which comes included and ready to install with hosting by Mirage-Net.

(Default Template After Installation of SMF)

Like most other 3rd Party scripts, SMF includes several pre-built layout templates, with even more available online, but... the only way to use the script and have it maintain the look and feel of the rest of your site has been to pay a developer to design a custom template... or learn how to do it yourself. And then... what happens if you decide to CHANGE your main site's look? You need to have it done all over again? Both time and cost prohibitive.

With the introduction of "fusions" being developed for MyPHPSiteBuilder... that's a thing of the past. Installing a fusion for the script you wish to use... the script "fuses" to your MyPHPSiteBuilder layout controlled through your Administration Panel. If you elect to change your site layout, the fused script changes as well. There is NO template development required. Purchase the fusion one time for a low cost... and change your layout at your whim. Your entire domain remains uniform and professional in appearance.

The following MyPHPSiteBuilder driven domains have EXACTLY the same SMF forum script installed.. with the addition of the available fusion pack. Again... the files building the forum are EXACTLY the SAME... yet see what has happened? They've truely been FUSED!
