hello! i'm so sorry if this is in the wrong board. i should of placed in chit-chat no? i'm looking at portals and would like to know suggestions of what you have that works best with smf?

The one that undoubtably works best with SMF is Tiny Portal ( www.tinyportal.net ). But this is still in beta testing. It is actually a mod written exclusively for SMF (istalls via the package manager). I use it in conjuction with the static page mod, and coppermine and have a perfectly seamless site, all based off the SMF database. Have a look at the link above. There are much more features that they have at present planned for the future.

waow! can install with the package manager?! i love that! thank you gerrymore so much for quick reponse. how long have you used it? it looks promising!  :D

edit :

bloc just changed the theme of the page as i was looking at it so now i can't see where i could download it. :(

Easy. Change it back via your profile. The themes change there when you look a a board about a theme so you see the one you are reading about. I've had it fo a while during testing and hed very little errors with it. Each new release cures the errors that members telll Bloc about.

I am not saying "Don't use it till it become famous" (..) , rather "try it on non-important site first". Its a work in progress, but I have worked much on making it fail-proof - so the kind of angry mails I got first time around is no longer present. You see, no matter how much you tell some people to be careful, they will still pay no attention to it. So I made a bit harder to get - making people think twice. ;)

But that not to say its unreliable. If it was, I would get all the 400+ that have tried it/using it on my back rather quick....
