Thanks for all the help but I uninstalled it and installed MKportal which suits my needs better

[DemonicInfluence]

lol. Okay.

One cuestion, how I can add more blocks to the portal? I am interested in adding one block for Afiliated (including the mini banners of others webs) and add one block for Link to uss (including my minni banner).

Thanks.

You can always use the link block,
But for creating blocks you have to edit Themes/default/Portal.template.php
Find some table code, duplicate it and take out a few includes and strings and replace them with the content.

Hi, I'm new..  I haven't encounter any problems on the previous mods I installed than this, this is a great mod.. but It doesn't seem to work...

regardlessly, the problem first occured here: hxxp:www.sandtroopers.com/dustrho/errors/20050523st_error.png [nonactive]

Before using the package installer, I made a new folder Blocks on the forum roots as suggest.. and it still turns out that problem. Second I did try to manually install it..and that didn't work at all, well I couldn't see where I can activate it. Now I delete it and try again and when I apply the mod..   this error showed up:

" An Error Has Occurred!
You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory is not writable! "

^ However I chmod just about everything, and that error still shows up. I'm really sick of it, I can't find a better way to make this work.

any help is appreciated

@ unnamed~

There is a fault in the html (i think it's in the Portal.template.php)
Find

Code Select Expand

<td width="20%" align="60%" valign="20%">
<table class="tborder" border="0" width="95%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4">
<tr><td class="titlebg">Menu</td>
The first line, align and valign can NOT be 60% or 20%
try

Code Select Expand

align="center"vallign="top"

How do i edit the links? Onyl thing i cant find out how to change thanks!

[mastersmurfie]

If I remember correctly, you can change these in Portal.english.php in

Themes/**/languages

modify the $txt['portal_24'] line and add whatever you want.

[SkylarSmith]

Which version of SMF do you use?

[3-CXT]

i use the smf v1.1 beta public

[Rik©]

i use the smf v1.1 beta public

I just tested it (downloaded the package, created the Blocks folder, installed package) and got no errors...

Create a folder called Blocks in your forum root before installing with the package manager.
So if your forum is at www.irgendwas.de/smf you create the Blocks folder in the folder called smf (www.irgendwas.de/smf/Blocks).

Like Libo said.... open the Block file (PortalTopPoster.php)
Look for

Code Select Expand

function PortalTopPoster($topNumber = 1, $output_method = 'echo')

And change

Code Select Expand

$topNumber = 1 to

Code Select Expand

$topNumber = 5
