Question

[Kenny]

Well, most of you will think im dumb for asking this but im kinda new to SMF and i want a frontpage that i can customize 100% myself, and someone recommended Tiny Portal. So i was wondering what do i do to get it working? Im using 1.1 RC3 and i was just wondering do i just have to upload his through the admin panel?

Appreciate it, Thanks

Yup through the admin panel

Download the latest copy of TP using the downloads section

- set your forum at Default theme (default core)
- then go to packages manager and install TP via there

Dont forget ot set the forum to default 1st

After it installs then come back to the downloads section and install some cool TP ENABLED themes....normal SMF themes wont work with TP, u will need the special themes from the download section here - loads of cool ones here :up:

Will the dafault work?

[akulion]

yes the default will work A-OK so no worried there

[Kenny]

Ok, thanks. Thats all i need to know!

[akulion]

oh and also i forgot to mention :

I hope you dont have a lot of mods installed?

Because they could cause problems installing TP since it is a big mod and changes a lot of things.

So if other mods have already changed files, it may not be able to find the code and give Failure notification in package manager

but still worth a try

and if it dosent work u can always do a manual install :up:

I have 5, Emailflash, K-Detection, Profilecomments, Shoutbox and Shop.

So can i just uninstall, then try to install again after. Because if i deleted the shop all my members lose there points and stuff

[akulion]

oh i would highly recommend removing the shoutbox one before install

since TP already has a built in shoutbox

leave the rest and try to install - see if it works - pray it does cos then it will save u the headache of a manual install, eventhough its not VERY hard

Ok, thanks
