Title: TinyPortal v0.9.7
Post by: cajunle on November 16, 2006, 11:20:29 PM
Ok I know this has been asked before, but I am basically on hold till an answer or another route is taken.  Is TinyPortal v0.9.7 available now, or will it be coming real soon?  I am on hold on progressing with a client site.  The other versions TP offer does not work on Simple Machine 1.0.9 version.  I am looking to install the TP with SMF and looking for a Blog to work with it.  The Version of SMF 1.0.9 is not compatible with the Blog offer in the SMF Mod site either.

Should I drop a version and install the SMF 1.1 RC3?  This will allow me to at least install a TinyPortal and the Blog, plus gallery using this version.  Or Should I just wait a little longer?

Sorry to be a pest.

I am looking at converting my site to SMF and using TP, the only thing is there are lots of diff version to use and work with, so my question is what version of SMF and TP should be used together for a stable site creation, thanks for advance for any suggestions

Post by: akulion on November 24, 2006, 11:30:26 PM
well the only SMF which can be considered stable is 1.0.9

however ive been using the RC (release candidate) series with no problems at all since a year now and so has a huge bunch of other people

so personally i would recommend 1.1rc3 with tp0.96

keep in mind however TP is a beta software still but stable enough to use :up:

also u will probably ask this after u install it - nope the gallery, links and teampages have not been implemented yet - those are just dummy links lol

Ok thanks for that does that mean that SMF and TP does not come with some sort of album or links? And what is teampages?

When you install, in the Tinyportal administration, there are options to switch on "gallery" "links" and "teampage" modules. The backend is there for them (ie in the admin) but they dont actually exist in any usable form yet.
Title: Re: TinyPortal v0.9.7
Post by: akulion on November 24, 2006, 11:40:45 PM
Teampage, Gallery and Links are all available as mods currently for SMF - I use them and they do the job fine

but in the future they will actually be incorporated into TP by bloc but no one can say when TP 1 Final is released

I love TP and think Bloc is doing a great job.

I find myself asking though why someone would be stupid enough to put up a Download button labeled 0.9.7 which doesn't work, and wont work for an unknown length of time, without even putting a notice next to it "coming soon".

Imho, the button doesn't have anything to do there at all, there is no 0.9.7 for download, all it does until sometime in the unknown future when 0.9.7 is out is confuse and annoy people. They actually have to go to the forums and search just to find out why the download button doesn't work.

Guess it's a form of humor i can't comprehend though. I fail to see the humorous is presenting a non working download button. Imho it only serves to confuse and annoy.

Did anyone here try to click the button and then burst out in laughter because it was humorous that the button wasn't actually a button and there wasn't actually a 0.9.7 to download?

Ahhhh, if i could i would have pat your back and help you get over the "humor" part.

To bad you have to feel that way for things you get for free on some one elses time and hard work. Pitty Bloc have to share it with people like you that only come here and complain about the developers site to. If I could, i would have helped you become the leaf right now.
Enjoy the content and the things you get for free, and if you cant, please keep your thoughts about this site and the content in it to your self instead of complaining about how things look or are set up here.
Browse around, enjoy, or leave and let people that like this site and how it's build have the humor in it for them selfs.  ;)

I guess your only allowed to comment on TP or the site if you have good things to say.

I'm not about to just crawl away just because some people manage to see this as an attack against what Bloc does instead of what it is.

Perhaps it was how you commented... No unspoken rule, just a common decency towards others is all..

You could have just said " I find myself wondering why there is no 'coming soon'...", but you chose to insult someone it seems

And btw, from someone who just got here and read this thread, what you said does sound like an attack..

You get to choose and push only 1 to get TP 0.97

I totally agree, just reading that it is an insult to Bloc.

Why would one not come to the forum and read anyway. There may be things that need to be explained in order for the download to work properly. One does not just install something then come and say "oh by the way, how do I do this, or hey the download did work right when I installed it".

No one comes and reads to be sure that the product is working correctly and that no special install instructions are need.

Bloc works hard to insure that his Tiny Portal is as bug free as possible and works as it should to enhance ones site.

No unspoken rules here. Bloc and his staff are well practiced in keeping us aware of "The Rulez".
It's just, if you make a statement such as yours, why do you expect others not to respond?
Are we not just as entitled as you, to our opinion?
Please find the humor in this and join Bloc and the rest of us in a good laugh.
I'm happy to know that TP and it's new release ARE important to you!

Oh yeah [Hint]
none of the buttons above work

I will apologize for anyone who feel my comment is disrespectful. It was not my intention to offend anyone.
I still think my opinion is very valid. It's the equivalent of false advertising, even if it's for a free product. I enjoy TP very much and have a lot of respect for Bloc's work, but i very strongly disagree with putting misleading information like this on the front page.

Why should it be required to search the forum to find out why the main download button on the front page is inactive and 0.9.7 which is advertised on the front page for download, is not even in the download section. Why mislead people in the first place?

To the TP Team, What yall have done is a labor of love and are willing to share this with any and everyone interested. My hat is off to each and every one of YOU!

As far as the download button that has someone has gotten crossthreaded over, I have clicked that button about 4000 times. I click it everytime I come to the site and before I leave. Its no big effort to try and I'll keep clicking until I get what ever this new upgrade will bring.

Thank you TP Team! Keep up the great work!
