Hi Guyz.

Does anyone have a code that would pull images at random from the attachments folder and display them, say five at a time in a block, without the need to install some kind of gallery system ?

I already use the "Display LAST Attachments", which is shipped with the portal, I would like to display RANDOM ones as well, in a seperate block if this is possible.

Thanks, Paul.

Sinan,

You coded my Random attachment banner for me.
I think i'd rather you use portal instead of my random banner now. SP are far superior    There is a difference between the code you wrote for my random attachment banner and the recent attachment block in your SP.  The recent attachments in SP lead directly to the attachment itself, in my random attachment banner, the thumbnails lead directly to the post.  Is there a simple piece of code that i can add to SP that will enable the attachments to lead to the post where they are found and not directly to the attachment?
If it takes a lot of coding to do this, dont worry about it.

Thanks again for all of your support

Paul,

a mod that i had made for me does this.  See my sig for link.
**NOTE***
m not sure if it will conflict with SP

Hi, thanks for the link, I should have stated that i'm running 1.1.11, and can't imagine that I will be going over to the 2 series, it offers nothing I need that 1.1.xx doesn't provide.

I've always been a great believer in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" 

I love Simple Portal, it's a shame that support seems to have dried up, not only here but on their own site  too

Kierjr,

in the theme directory that you are using, find the "style.css"

in style.css, search for:

Code Select Expand

.catbg a:link, .catbg a:visited, .catbg2 a:link, .catbg2 a:visited {
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;


replace it with:

Code Select Expand

.catbg a:link, .catbg a:visited, .catbg2 a:link, .catbg2 a:visited {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;


that should do it

We are using a custom theme  AS316. We need to know how to add the forum button. However, we are not good with computers, so if you could put this in laymen terms it would be greatly appreciated.

You will see that SimplePortal adds the forum button to the default theme, but that you will need to add it to any other themes, unless you are using a Curve-based theme with SMF 2.x.

There are very good instructions at SimplePortal.net in the theme tutorials.
This one probably has what you need: http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=148.0

You see that pop up registration javascript on your forum, you might want to remove it.
it makes me leave the forum after one page load.
i m sure it does the same thing to so many other people.
it does not increase registration in any way, rather it annoys people.

@topic

what page did you create that you want to hide from guests ?

[Angelina Belle]

You can use the permissions settings.
If you are not logged in, you are part of membergoup "Guest"
So click on " [ Select permissions for each group ] " and uncheck "Guest".

[Afro]

Go to admin cpanel >> pages {under simple portal config} >> select the page you created >> edit it and click on the "Select permissions for each group"  .. give permissions there..

In the news block the [code] tags are getting broke if the are to long, how can I fixed this?

[Angelina Belle]

If you want to show [code], you have to write it like this : [nobbc][code][/nobbc].

What do you mean by "getting broke" if they are too long?

[The_Wii_Nes_Boy]

If the news block is set to 100 characters and the post is say 120 and the [/code] from the bbc tags is in the last 20 characters then the code box gets broken, it never used to so I'd like to fix it so it does not get broke.

Edit: Fixed.

I've install SimplePortal 2.3.2. it works perfectly fine, however only me (the admin) can see the Welcome message, Recent topics.. Try going to my website: www.skimus.com --> I believe that I've enabled it to be viewed by guests and other users.

i can see SP as a guest on your forum.

Thank you for your feedback. I have improved on it. Please check and drop your comment.
