You are using a bit older version of it. Please use the latest archive, that don't create these errors. Also note that it IS beta still, so please do not use it without at least testing it locally - or with a non-important website.

Things WILL change, although I aim to preserve most of what is already done.

Well, I did the smart thing and got my host to install it for me. I must say it is pretty cool.

I have tested it for three days and noticed the following flaws and bugs:

• If you have articles divided for multiple pages, only the articles in the first page show up
• Writer of the article won't show up
• If you add tables with WYSIWYG- editor in HTML mode, it won't show them up right
• Also, if you copy+paste the code to WYSIWYG- editor in HTML mode, the code rarely works right.
• You should be able to set permissions who can add articles and stuff.
• Read more- links don't work, so intro- option is useless for now.
• If you set permissions for table for some membergroups, they still show up for everyone...
• ...and they show up to the membergroups allowed to view it at least twice.

More to come...

Thanks for the feedback.

Most of the problems I am aware of and are working on. The ones with tables I have to check, but it most likely is something with the WYSIWYG editor. As for adding support for writer and who can see/write it is planned in the next beta.

Glad to hear that. Cause I'm also waiting for the viewing permission of blocks too.

You will make a blank page creator right?

[bloc]

A single page on frontpage you mean? If so, yes.

Dont know if i thanked u yet.. but thx for this.. nice mod..

[thefool1972]

Hullo,

Was just curious, what would it take to have an option in an article to make it stay at the top?  While I can just date it way ahead, this is only a workaround.

Also, allowing sticky posts to stay at the top of the news would be good too.

Thanks,

You can already make an article "on top " regardless of date - just use the option of  "set as featured". It will then come on top of the first page.

Sticky posts from the news on top too..? Not planned , but I can check how difficult it might be. The news from forum is taken from the SSI.php function, so if that don't collect information about stickiness, it would mean another call to the database just for that then...but I will check further first.

[thefool1972]

Oh good!  When I didn't see it as a checkbox in the message creation, I didn't notice it...

Thanks!

Well, at least some of my themes are already converted : Helios, Mercury and Themis. And of course SMF default theme..that one is the the one that gets modded..! For downloads of my converted ones , look here :
http://www.bloczone.net/smf/index.php?board=24.0

As for the others they will have to be done manually, but its only index.template.php in them that needs some modifications. If the theme authors agreed on that, i could help out on this...but I won't start mass-converting them as such.

I will make a tutorial on how to convert other themes though.

1) maybe you have turned it off?

2) use ssi (www.yourforums.com/forum/ssi_examples.php

#1)

Found out the problem .. apparently the forum you use must be open to GUEST for the tinyportal to read it ?

#2)

Thanks for the link .. i'm still clueless about how to actually use this i'm not a web designer ..

I have the same problem, you can NOT see any topic in TPortal UNLESS you give to guests permission to see THE TOPICS BUT...

Configure it like this:

Forum Configuration --> Edit Features and Options --> Allow guests to browse the forum  = NO
Manage Permissions  --> Permissions by Board (your Board name) --> Unregistered Guests = YES

Gives the result that your MEMBERS will see the Topics in TPortal (but you have to login to see something)

(Temporary you can use these settings )

[bloc]

Of course guest can't see the topics if you don't allow guest to see them inside the forum! It would be not very logical to show them on portal's frontpage - and then not show them once in.

This is the beauty of SSI.php, which the portal use for getting the news in the first palce - it takes into account what forums members/non-members actually can see.
