SimplePortal

[jollyrogue]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but i'd like to know if it is possible to have the portal at the root of my domain while the forum is at /forum/. If it's not, i don't mind.. I'll just keep the redirection script on the root..

I believe their is an optoin for that, in the main settings area you can specify a file, I'm not 100% sure how it operates though. simpleportal.net would be a good place to ask too

You can do this using SimplePortal's "Standalone Portal".
You would chose the standalone option and take a copy of the standalone portal file to your domain root, then follow the instructions inside the standalone portal file.

After that -- it works pretty much like magic.  There are a few small differences between standalone and front page mode.

Can I add a pages button? To where the home and forum button are?

I am using a custom theme, and have already add the forum button, but is it possible to add a pages button right after the forum button? If so how?

What I would like to do is create a page that link to other pages but have all the links on that one page..and have the page button link to that one page

Thanks
Ryan

But still have problem
My articles in the top of portal appears like in screenshoot.
I want to appear like the link that you showed me

My article settings is in the last screenshoot.

I think the problem is that your trying to set it up as a block. Am i right?  if you enable articles in the settings thing it post those articles to the front page.  Can you post a link to you site?

Everything seemed to be ok, except, I do not have a "Forum" button.

I can see from your index.template.php that there is some code for the Forum button.
That code only shows up if:
* Simple Portal is NOT disabled.
* Simple Portal is in mode 1 or 3 (frontpage or standalone)

Which settings are you using?

At the moment, I am using "Integration" because that is the only way my members have a way of getting to the Board Index Page. It makes the "Home" tab take them to the Board Index Page. However, I want to use the "Front Page" mode where I have a "Home" Page (the Portal) and a "Forum" page (the Board Index). Currently, if I try to set it up to use "Front Page" mode, the "Home" tab will take me to the Portal. Then, since there still is no "Forum" tab showing up for whatever reason (although the code is in my index.template.php) my members have no way of getting to the Board Index Page.

Code (find) Select Expand

function template_button_strip($button_strip, $direction = 'top', $force_reset = false, $custom_td = '')
{
global $settings, $buttons, $context, $txt, $scripturl;

Code (replace) Select Expand

function template_button_strip($button_strip, $direction = 'top', $force_reset = false, $custom_td = '')
{
global $settings, $buttons, $context, $txt, $scripturl, $modSettings;

You may create as many buttons as you like.  How you do this depends on your version of SMF. And your theme.

One SimplePortal user reports that two mods are particularly useful: http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=6214.0

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2657

My button mod will solve all that, which is also mentioned in the topic on sp.net that AngelinaBelle mentioned

Really Thanks

I've made sure the developers see this.  It means a lot to them!
Thanks

You need the articles in a block for that function to work.  Create a new block and choose how many article links to place in that block.

I changed that code, went into the Admin panel changed the SP settings to "Front Page", Refreshed my page and nothing changed....so I cleared all my browser settings (cookies, etc) and still nothing....so I guess that wasn't it.

Flamechica:
Are you still getting the error 8: Undefined variable: modSettings
I was just taking a shot in the dark.

But I just looked at your file again, and I see there is more missing.  Is this your default theme?
The install should have gotten all of this right .

Please do the following:
Take out the change I just asked you to make.

Check on all the changes described in the manual install instructions at http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=1104;attach=139821;smf_version=1.1.11 for the file index.template.php

I can see you don't have all the required changes to this file.

Hi, I just installed SimplePortal and it seems to have installed just fine.  I can get to admin and all...but I can't make *any* blocks show in my pages?.

I have Portal Mode set to Integration--so that the blocks will appear around the perimeter of the forum, Display Blocks in Forum is checked, Enable Left and Right side blocks is checked, and I created a shoutbox and a box for it to live in...but none of this will display.

What else should I check?

Side note: when I installed this from my other computer with Firefox yesterday, everything looked great.  Today I'm on a computer with IE, and many of the graphics in the admin section won't show, just an x appears, that seems kind of strange, but is there a browser compatibility issue?

Edit: I think I figured out that I have to individually set the boxes to show on the forum, but I just noticed I can't shout on the shoutbox, either...also compatibility with IE?  Or some setting I missed?
