[Arantor]

The fact that the only 2.1 compatible version of SP that exists is not an official SP "product" would not bode well given that 2.1 is now into year 9 of development.

Any method of setting two columns on Simpleportal Boardnews like this

[Chen Zhen]

Use notepad++ ( not ms notepad ) or another file editor that handles unix line endings properly.

file: ../Sources/PortalBlocks.php
only replace the one function I am including below inside that file.

You can change the $width variable at the onset of the function to ie. 49.5% if you want them a bit closer together.

Ok let me give it a trials

In your block settings it's better if you have the amount of topics set to an even number & also the block position at the top of the section list.

NO CHANGES. Check

No need to yell with caps.. I am reading your posts.

What I posted for you was indeed for the board news block.
The second edit that I posted affected both core & curve template layouts.

Hello

For many years (9 years) I use the portal "sipmpleportal" in various forums and so far I have been very pleased him. Unfortunately, I see that update last one was held in 2017 and aid forum just died and it worries me greatly. or portal "simpleportal" will be updated even if there is a possibility that someone tried to make it "responsive", so that the content displayed by the portal, tailored to smartphone and tablet screens?

PS. Sorry for my english but I'm using the google translator.

Od wielu lat (9 lat) używam portalu "SipmplePortal" na różnych forach i do tej pory byłem niego bardzo zadowolony.
Niestety widzę, że ostania aktualizacja, odbyła się w 2017 roku a forum pomocowe zwyczajnie umarło i mocno mnie to martwi.

Czy portal "SimplePortal" będzie jeszcze aktualizowany, czy istnieje możliwość aby ktoś spróbował zrobić go "responsywnym", tak aby wyświetlane przez portal treści, dopasować do ekranów smartphone i tabletów ?

You can use EhPortal, it's the same as Simple Portal only for SMF 2.1, it works with RC1, I use it on my forum and it works fine.

Do you have a copy I can download? The link to download it doesn't work...

Maybe your DNS cache needs clearing.
