TinyPortal 3.0.0 is coded to work with all versions of SMF 2.1 and with SMF 3.0.

TinyPortal 1.6.x and 2.x are coded to work with all versions of SMF 2.0* and with SMF 2.1.

It is not a good practice to run older versions of SMF, PHP or TinyPortal. You should always keep your server and forum updated to the latest (supported) versions so as to keep up with any security improvements.

Note: As of Tinyportal 3.0.0 is should be possible to use TinyPortal on SMF3.0. However Note that SMF3.0 is under development, we cannot guarantee stable support for 3.0 untill a Final version is released.

Notes for 2.1 installs:
Note: Tinyportal only supports the Final versions SMF 2.1. TinyPortal may also work on the previous RC and Beta versions, but we do not provide support.

Note: with SMF 2.1, SMF is enforcing 'STRICT' mode in SQL, requiring certain database rules. These rules are incorporated in TinyPortal from version 1.6.1. Should you consider upgrading a forum to SMF 2.1 while using an older version of TinyPortal, it is recommended to:

• update your TinyPortal version on 2.0 the the latest version available and deal with any issues in 2.0 before upgrading SMF;
• uninstall TinyPortal prior to upgrading (NOT removing the data) and;
• install the latest TinyPortal version on the upgraded forum: the Tinyportal tables will be upgraded in the install process and the data will be preserved.

Miscellaneous:
TinyPortal 3.0.0 will not install if your PHP version is below the minimum requirement: PHP version : 7.0.0
Highest supported PHP version (tested) is 8.3.1

TinyPortal 2.2.3 will not install if your PHP version is below the minimum requirement: PHP version : 7.0.0
Highest supported PHP version (tested) is 8.1.1

Starting from Tinyportal version 1.5.0 the minimum required PHP version is 5.4.

Installing TP on a forum running an older version of PHP may result in the forum being unusable due to PHP errors.
