Installing TinyPortal is a simple as installing any MOD in de SMF software: using the package manager installing TP in your forum can be done in seconds. The recommended procedure is described here.
Important: Please Un-install any existing Version Of Tinyportal Before Installing!
First and most importantly:
make a backup of your forum. If you are not sure how to do that, you can use this guide:
How Do I Create A Backup Of My Site?Second: download the latest version of TinyPortal from:
TinyPortal Featured DownloadThird: in your SMF forum go to "
Admin > Package Manager > Download Packages > Package to Upload > Browse >" then select the TP package that you downloaded and click "
Upload".
Fourth: once the TinyPortal package has been successfully uploaded click on the "
Install Mod" link.
Finally: assuming everything tested successfully, with no
red 'Test failed' warnings showing, click on the "
Install Now" link and you're all done!
*However, if it shows
"Test failed", you may need to manually install TinyPortal. You can read instructions on how to do that here:
How Do I Manually Install TinyPortal? If you are experienced and confident with what you are doing, you can proceed to install even though it says "
Test failed", and manually modify those files using the guidelines from the manual install guide mentioned previously.
