Block Code 'Snippets' are small blocks of reusable code that can be inserted in a TinyPortal Block. They can range from the simple to the complex and can produce any number of results in your Blocks. Examples of some of the code snippets that are available are; Google Translate, Random Topics, SMF Gallery Block for SMF2 and many more.

TinyPortal comes with many block codes already included and available for you to use, like the Shoutbox, User block and the Themes block and these Block Code Snippets give you even more choices for content that you can display on your site.

There are a few code snippets already included in TinyPortal. These 'blockcodes' can be used when defining a new block. When using the default blockcodes these are included a php code in the new block. Expert users may choose to tweak the blockcodes to their liking.

The pre-defined blockcodes types you can use are these:
