Hello!
How can I hide the - for example - "profile" and "help" buttons only in the portal?

As always, simple to upgrade. Smooth as glass; if only all mod upgrades went like this...

Thanks

This time I gave it a bit more thorough going over, but like the guy above. 2 minute upgrade and no problems near as I can tell.

May I see your forum? Feel free to pm me the link if you don't want to post it public.

- How cann i use the cutt-off function?

The change is technical actually. I mean, there is no change at how you set cut-off, but how it is done technically.

Hi,

i don't know why every time when i need to edit a block, it breaks the layout, please have a look at the attachment. thank you!

the code i use in that block is:

As I said before, there is no problem with the HTML block of SimplePortal. Just make sure your HTML codes are correct and do not use html and body tags in your HTML codes.

[Neverhurry]

sorry, i made a mistake when i paste the code, i corrected it, there is no html or body tags now, but the problem is still there.

My forum at www.allnigeria.info is relatively and is on SMF 1.1.9.

I have never used any portal before but liked all the reviews i saw on Simple Portal.
I just downloaded Simple Portal 2.2.2 from the SMF mod site; and then uploaded via my package manager. But instead of uploading, i get this message:

An error has occured.
Could not upload package, please check directory permissions!

Pls wat do i do now?

[noelchiew]

You probably need to go to your cpanel file manager to change the packages folder permissions Give it a try change it to 755.

[saibaworld]

Thanks, but am sorry if i sound dumb, but am still new at all this. 

How do i get to d cpanel manager in the 1st place?
And if i change the settings to 755, do i have to change it back to the original setting after uploading the Simple Portal 2.2.2? 

[noelchiew]

You should be given instructions how to log into your site's cpanel by your webhost. Usually it would be yoursite.com/cpanel but your log in details would be given by your webhost. No you don't have to change the settings back

[saibaworld]

Thanks so much. 
Will contact my webhost now

[Gmans]

Big thank you
I was happy if you have included support mod Atachment in messege (in portal page)

Silly question time...

We're thinking of using SP as a kind of front page, open to guests. We don't want anybody to be able to get past the portal, though, until they login/register.

Is that possible, with SP, as-is (v2.2)?

[tbk22]

Is it compatible with custom themes even if these custom themes weren't made for simple portal?

[Nathaniel]

@drtonik,
You should be able to enter your FTP information into the package manager, so that it can fix the issue. See the documentation below:
http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=93.msg4908

Otherwise you will need to Chmod your 'packages' directory to 0777.
See this documentation on chmod: http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=477.msg686#msg686

@Kat,
At the moment SimplePortal ignores the setting relating to stoping guests from browsing your forum, if you enable that setting, then guests will be able to view the portal, but not any other page without registering or logging in.

@tbk22,
SimplePortal is compatible with any almost custom theme, most of the time you have to apply one or two edits (unless the theme breaks SP's layout or visa versa). The 'Display.template.php' edit is also non-crucial, as you can add articles from the admin area.

If you are using SMF 2 the only edit you will need to make is if your theme has its own 'Display.template.php' file.
If you are using SMF 1.1.x then you will have to add the 'Forum' button (see this topic), and if your theme has its own 'Display.template.php' file then that will require another edit.
