SimplePortal

OK, I finally got it installed (not sure what I did differently though).  How do I go about customizing this?  If I have to change the code what files should I be working with?

Themes/default/Portal.template.php
And in the future I plan on having a admin section.

I tried to customize it with the templete, but I could not get it to work.

@nesianstyles...

I am trying to make the content in the "Recent Posts" block to be left aligned...and I can't figure out how to make it work!!???  This should be something simple that I just can't seem to find.  I've gotten all the other blocks...

nevermind...I found it in /Blocks.  The other ones that I wanted to change the appearance of, I was able to edit in the portal.template.php, but this one wasn't.

Sharing in case anyone else runs into this type of problem.  Again, THANKS! for this.  It is live on my site and looks great! www.faithtabernacleupc.net/forum2

I to finally got it. I just can figure out how to get the forum to open up in the same window as the portal.

That would be hard as you would need to create it so it includes the portal header then after it the footer. If you want something that does that then I recomend you be a beta tester for bloc's tiny portal.
Although I could figure a way, but I don't see it as the most needed thing for a portal and it squashes the forum a bit.

its really good! i love it. all my members love it. the only thing i want to add is like to add like a recent arcade scores and random arcade games. that would make it even cooler

Without a doubt one of the easiest installs I've encountered.

I've been looking for something like this. Thanks a lot.

Just learning my way around it but the customization options seem unlimited. Looking forward to the admin panel though and possibly a block builder ala php=nuke to be able to put adverts up.

Thanks again

A very SimplePortal like Smartor's ezPortal for phpBB. Has no admin but works well with most templates. Remember to read the readme after install.
Also Supports Package Manager

Wow, very nice, Nessian.  I am currently using TinyPortal and really like it, but maybe I will make a second test forum and try out SimplePortal too.

How, can I edit the menu block?? I want to add some links for my own page in there.

[crazystu]

open Themes/default/Portal.template.php and change this part:

Code Select Expand

<table class="tborder" border="0" width="95%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4">
<tr><td class="titlebg">'.$txt['portal_1'].'</td>
</tr>
<tr><td class="windowbg2"><a href="index.php">'.$txt['portal_2'].'</a><br />
<a href="index.php?action=forum">'.$txt['portal_16'].'</a><br />
<a href="index.php?action=help">'.$txt['portal_3'].'</a><br />
<a href="index.php?action=search">'.$txt['portal_4'].'</a><br />';
if ($context['user']['is_logged']) {
echo'<a href="index.php?action=profile">'.$txt['portal_5'].'</a><br />
<a href="index.php?action=logout;sesc='.$context['session_id'].'">'.$txt['portal_17'].'</a>';
} else {
echo'<a href="index.php?action=login">'.$txt['portal_18'].'</a><br />
<a href="index.php?action=register">'.$txt['portal_19'].'</a>';
}
echo'</td>
</tr></table>

How do I use links out side of the portal?? I want to link to my chat room, but it wont come up in the menu as chat.. Its just what ever number the portal realtes to.

[SeaOfSin]

if you did something like this for the chat room link

Code Select Expand


echo'<a href="index.php?action=login">'.$txt['portal_xx'].'</a><br />


xx being the number you put for the chat room, you need to go into languages under themes and find portal.english. and add the $txt['portal_xx'] as shown below

Code Select Expand


$txt['portal_xx'] = "Chat Room";

hope that helps!

[crazystu]

You can also do this as a link

Code Select Expand

<a href="index.php?action=chatroom">ChatRoom</a>

umm, how can I change the forum ID# for the announcements???

Forum Announcements
You cannot specify a board that doesn't allow guests. Please check the board ID before trying again.

[mastersmurfie]

in portal.template.php:

Code Select Expand

// What Board Is Used For Announcements?
$newsb = '2';

Change '2' to the number of the board that you want to use

Could someone tell me if SimplePortal is still available and working? I read something about it being withdrawn pending some development work.

TIA

Oops, just realized the note referred to TinyPortal.
