Is this going to come out for 2.0 beta 4

Yes, we are currently working on a version compatible with SMF 2.0 beta 4. Fear not!

Sweet! I know this might be a annoying question but when are you estimating this project to be done? I understand if you are not allowed to say.

When it's ready.

Sound familiar? Yeah, SMF uses it, too. We thought it fit so well, no need to give ourselves time limits and deadlines to degrade the quality of the product.

Ok take your time, it's better to have to wait a little bit for a quality portal then rush and make a bad one.

@lakechurch,
At the moment, that is not possible. The articles page on the front can't show a list of attachments. Although it will show images that are posted within the posts themselves, would it be possible for you to attach the images to the post and then put them in the post as well using [img][/img] tags? (You can get the image/attachment location by right clicking and clicking the 'Properties'/'Copy image location' option).

@ownedbyamedic.com,
You will have to change the permissions for each block so that they can see them. We are going to do an overhaul of the block permissions system in a future version, which may make it easier for you to do stuff like that.

@dbm,
Can you please post your 'ManagePermissions.php' file as an attachment?

[dbm]

Yeah sure, here u go mate

[Nathaniel]

Okay, ignore that error and proceed with the mod install. Then upload the attached file and replace your old one with it.

[dbm]

in a moment. sec

[dbm]

Now its only shows this at index... there is no categorys or threads ...
check attach..

You will have to create some new blocks for your portal in the Admin panel, under "Sportal Admin".

If you want to disable the portal temporarily then you can disable the 'Portal is active?' setting in that admin area. You may want to try to add a new 'forum' tab to your menu so that you can easily access the forums. If you post your custom themes 'index.template.php' file then I can show you the edit.

i need to add a button that goes to my forum page (how it looks when simpleportal is not active)

how do i do this?

If this helps anyone (Hope you dont mind simpleportal team) - I simply Created a HTML block linked to a Image Saying (Straight to the Forum). It was simple easy with not having to change the code plus the buttons are kinda small for your typical user and the fact you can link to an image is cool.

Here is an example block of code to use:

<html></head><h1 align=center>
<body><ahref="http://yourstiename.here/index.php?action=forum"></a>Enter the Fray</b><hr width="20"><a href="http://yoursitenamehere.com/index.php?action=forum"><img src="http://Your Image for the link here"></a></p></body>
</html>

See what I did here:

www.forums.midatlanticxriders.com

It will break up the XHTML validity. Use something like this:

Code Select Expand

<div style="text-align: center;">
<h1><a href="http://Yourstiename.here/index.php?action=forum">Enter the Fray</a></h1>
<hr width="20" />
<a href="http://yoursitenamehere.com/index.php?action=forum"><img src="http://Your Image for the link here" alt="forum" /></a>
</div>

Thank you for your answer. I will do it the way you told me, I only get the pictures double in the post now but they show up in the article. Thank you again.

I just upgraded to 2.0.4 - Not an issue - not a problem - seamless!!

Hailz to the Portal Team - Excellent work and the Portal is a hit with my members!

[jmil]

Since I am working on the portal - I saw a sight that added the Calender to the Portal. I saw a thread that their was an answer at simpleportal.net - but my search there show no matches.

How can I add the Calender block to the portal?

I guess it was here:

[jmil]

That is it - Thanks - I will give it a shot and let you know how it goes!!

[ruckstande]

Since I had to download separate files for 2.0.2 will I have a problem with 2.0.4?

[jusplay77]

SiNaN, you never cease to amaze!  I've had your Simple Portal mod on my older forum since it's creation and now that I have come back to add it again to my new forum; It has been improved 10 times over!  Great work!

Which brings me to my question



I have recently upgraded from SMF Gallery Lite 1.9 to SMF Media Gallery 1.0.2 as it is far superior and free (compared to the SMF Gallery Pro).  However the pre-programmed Gallery Block in the Portal does not work with SMF Media Gallery 1.0.2.

While I can navigate through php fairly well, I am not to the point where I can write my own php.  Could you please post the code I would need to add a PHP block and have it work as a Random Gallery Image from the new SMF Media Gallery.

Thanks!

Couldn't get what you mean.

Thanks for the nice comments. As it became a quite large mod, now SimplePortal has an experienced team and a new site.

I've posted a quick code here a few days ago for your question:

I'm sure you will get a better support if you try there.
