Hello folks! ^.^

I just have installed TinyPortal...but i am having a major problem. Because i need to kill two things out off the site - but they still reappear...

• The statistics at the forum. Yes, I allready unchecked the statistics.
• The Userinformations, News, and mini seach bar. They still appear, even since I unchecked it on the frontpage...

Both must be killed completly, so i can use just the pannels and blocks on the mainpage, with statistis and online users. I want to have the usermanue al the time in the view, even at the forum and that stuff. And to see the statistics more times.....oh help! :eek:

Link to your site? What version of SMF and TinyPortal are you using? Assuming you're talking about blocks for all these things?

Glad to hear that.

Me too!

But, in the meantime, here is a feature request!

I would like to rename two fields and add two fields to the Download Manager on my site.  And so I thought 'It would be nice to be able to rename/ add fields in the admin area'.

Specifically, people who upload files are not necessarily the authors of the files.  And many of those files were created long ago.  But, the 'Author' and 'Created' sort categories get populated automatically based on the uploader's name, and the date the files were uploaded.

So I would like to change these fields to 'Uploaded By' and Uploaded On'.  Then add two fields that would be populated by the uploader, which would be 'Author or Artist' and 'Created On'.  If left blank, they would default to the name of the uploader and date of upload.

I would also like to see a sort category by game-type, ie: 'Anarchy',  'Single-Player', 'CTF'  etc...  But I think that would be better handled through a tagging system, because many files fit have more than one game-type, and some files need tags that are not game-types, like patches and music.  Of course, a tagging sytem is something altogether different.  So I guess that is two feature requests!

Thanks for looking!

Just installed this on RC3 but I'm not seeing the TinyPortal admin menu on the left side along wih the rest of all the 2.0 admin stuff 

[bloc]

Thats because the TP admin stuff are in its own menu on top. Try finding that and you will get inside TP admin. Or...just go to "/index.php?action=tpadmin".

[MoreBloodWine]

Gotcha, also, are you gonna be adding the bullets back to the user and stats block like with 098 ? I find that it makes them seem more organized.

[bloc]

No plans for that..but I'll look into it.

Good to know, most people probably could care less about them but I got so use to having them in 098 that it just doesnt look right without them now.

[bloc]

Actually..I liked them lol. They gave TP a more specific look, so they are back now, for v1.0 RC1.

So I did a good thing today by mentioning it lol

Also, I know the rule is that its done when its dont but I gotta ask lol. Do you have any sort of ETA on when you'd like to have a 1.0 final ?

[bloc]

Yes, you did. But really, it coincided with some long-time changes for improving smaller details I have been looking at lately.

Well, the RC1 will be out this week I reckon. So awaiting any bugs coming in from that the final might be not too far away, maybe a few weeks only. After that i like to add block/article/panel-cache features, to lessen TP's footprint on the server. That will be v1.1 of TP appropriately.

Hello. I am having a tough time with TinyPortal. I have SMF 1.11.1. My site is called www.canadiankayakanglers.com I am trying to create a homepage very similar to this one www.norcalkayakanglers.com I cant figure out how to create the blocks in the middle on the homepage. He has blocks like the one at the top that is called "MLPA - Mootch Life Protection Account" or further below he has many blocks of info. I am not sure how to create these. Also on the left side he has ads and things showcasing his articles. I dont know where to go to create these on my website. I have all the content and stuff. Im just not sure how to create this kinda thing? Can you help me fgure out this? Where to look to start?
Thanks

[bloc]

Well, for the MLP block you could just go to "TPadmin / blocks" and start creating one, preferably a HTML or BBC block and add your content. That would be in the "frontpanel" or perhaps "upper panel".

For the ads the quickest way is to simply add a "leftpanel block" and then add the code for the ad. Then set "Frame options" of the block to "Do not use title/frame styles". That will give you no borders/background and will look great for ads.

[bloc]

Btw, I noticed you are using TP 0.9..it will work the same, but have fewer options.

[MoreBloodWine]

Sounds good to me, also Bloc, I hate to ask but if I gave you a copy of the theme I'm using would you do me a favor and remove all of the TP 098 edits ? I only ask because when upgrading with the edits in place the side bars for lack of a better word are doubled up but one sets invisible because it's looking for 098 side bars.

I would start with a clean theme but I have some mods installed with custom edits to the original code.
