Call wayfinder from another non modx site - include the menu in other templates

This question is related to How to include the template (header, sidebar, footer) in other sites?

Including a modx site isnt that easy, and i thought you guys here might know the answer, for i think including wayfinder instead of including a modx site with wayfinder menu is nicer.

My goal is to make a template for the SMF forum (better: SM forum) to include it to my modx site without losing the layout. The SMF brigde works fine at the backend, but the frontend....
SMF kills the layout, because it calls a non modx site (in difference to the G2 module - works great).

Any ideas?

Thanks for helping.

zi just pointed me in the right direction, i discovered a MODxAPI, the perfect way to solve my problem.
This code works and integrating search or other things might be easy with API:

<?php
 
$path = './';
include_once($path.'modxapi.php');
 
$modx = new MODxAPI();
// connect to db and load settings
$modx->connect();
$modx->getSettings();
 

$html= $modx->runSnippet('Wayfinder', array('startId' => '0', 'level'=>'2', 'hideSubMenus'=>'true'));
echo $html;
 
?>
