Hi i was wondering if a dev of tiny portal can import my blocks from simple portal in to my new install of latest up grade of simple machines & now using install of TP as i have no clue how to do this or if it can be done in to TP, hoping i can transfer all my old code ??????

Do you mean the blocks or articles and pages?

I'd not think you'd have many blocks, TinyPortal also handles them very differently to SimplePortal so an import isn't easy.

I'm willing to take a look at this for ausfisho.  It sounds like just blocks atm, but I would also like to know the extent of the content requiring migration. Sounds like it's all got to be extracted from a database backup as the site has already switched portals.

some blocks are html,others, php, had a image slider from a gallery mod on front page some are pages i think a few articles

Made a start on this, but there's a few issues with mods missing which had content being pulled from certain blocks, and something is screwing with the TinyPortal layout which I'm yet to find.

Can't thank you enough for fixing my site up  intergrating that code to fix up the blocks etc ;)
