Afraid

[Cloud Walker]

Hi,

I have not ever had a portal before.

I am wanting the block on the left and right side of the screen, and I want to match the background of the Home page with the background of my website.

I see that a beta is released but nothing else.

Does this mean that I will be testing the software, that it may fail?

Not entirely sure I want to do that having never run a portal before.

There are some minor bugs that are not fixed. But, for the most part, its an excellent piece of software. Try it out. Just install it via the package manager and tinker with it. If you dont like it, just uninstall it. No harm, no foul.

Petee,

Thanks for you quick reply.  So it won't have problems uninstalling?  I guess I will find out. 

Time always tells the truth


I'll give it a shot,

No more issues that any other package. Keep in mind, TinyPortal is not supported in SMF2, yet.

Forgot to mention that I am running SMF ver1.1.8 with Default theme and about 7 mods.

Sorry, I think it will work.

Error in Package Installation

At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.

Modification Instructions

Sometimes with TinyPortal you may get a "test failed" when you apply the mod during installation. This is because the install script cannot find the sections of code within a it needs to edit. Normally, this is because of other mod's that have already modified the code. But don't fret, you can still install TinyPortal manually.

How about if I just un-install the mods and try again.  Is that viable?

Or should I un-install the mods then upload my back up (without the mods {oh crap that means I will lose a bunch of posts and members, I think}) and then try to install Tiny Portal?

Or should I un-install the mods then download SMF ver 1.1.8, then upload it, and HOPE that it installs the code without touching my permissions, database, members, etc...

hmmm,

Ok then,

I guess we are done.

I went ahead and marked the topic as solved.

Thank you for your time, and have a good weekend.
