Title: Adding stuff to My TP on my site
Post by: CampCounselor on December 29, 2006, 05:51:53 PM
I was wondering how you add stuff to the middle column.  Is it a module that you have to install or what.  I know over at www.rebelrosenetworks.com has stuff in the middle I would like to add but was not sure if it was a module or what.

Ad you can see I am a Tiny Portal Virgin. I am learning very slowly

Thanks

Michael

In your Admin panel you have the TP admin where you have the blocks and articles settings and administration.
Just play around with that and for diffrent blocks you can have a look at our block code and snippets board for diffrent code snippets to add more content to your site. Read through the posts in the code and snippets board and you wil learn a lot on how to use them :)

I suggest you do a bit of reading in the posts, and start using the search ability.
There is no possible way for us to learn you how to use your site, that you must do all by your self with reading the threads and posts we have on this site.
So if you find some thing useful you whish to use, most of the posts made with the snippets have all the info you need to place it on your site.
90% of all snippets are just simple copy and paste action. You creat the block and choose what kind of block, that ususally are described in the topic they made for the snippet, so if it say PHP block or Scriptbloc, you eather create a PHP block, or a Script block and paste the code in the frame and save, activate and look at the resualt.

Currently not possible with center blocks. But with frontpage blocks you can. Look in your frontpage settings for TinyPortal. Also, do as G6 suggested. Take a look around your TinyPortal admin panel and see what you have. You won't have to ask alot of questions if you do. :)

If you wanted things like on my site the best thing that you could have done was ask, but I am glad you are getting it all worked out.
