If you had/have an HTML site and you want to bring some of those pages into your SMF/TP site here is a really simple and easy way to do that by using the powerful TinyPortal Article System.

First you will need to create an HTML article. You can do that by going to: " Tiny Portal > Articles >"Click the '+HTML' button.


The WYSIWYG editor should appear unless you have it disabled. If it is not disabled, you will need to click the "HTML" button. This will bring up the actual code in your editor window. (... if you have the "Use the WYSIWYG editor?" set to "No" then the editor will already be set correctly for this operation.)



Then on your old webpage, highlight all of your HTML code between your <body> & </body> tags and copy it by right-clicking and selecting "copy", or press "CTRL C".

Now you will want to place that code into your new article. In your article right-click and select "paste". If the editor is enabled, it may not let you. You will need to press "CTRL V" to paste the code into the article.
NOTE: PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT ADD THE HTML <body> & </body> TAGS IN YOUR ARTICLE! This may result in a blank page or the article not showing correctly.

Finally, you will need to select your article options.
