Title: Getting the home page like TinyPortal.net's
Post by: jcoleuk on March 04, 2007, 01:29:08 PM
How can I setup TP so the home page looks professional like the www.TinyPortal.net home page?

Yes you can, create an article and show on single frontpage, then puzzle togehter the layout you like and you have it :)

I did that, but it only displays one article. I can't display anything next to it like TinyPortal.net does, otherwise it want's to display the side bars.

This is an option that will be available in the next version of TP ;)

Actually it can be done if TP V.095 even.
A frontpage only, then make tables with calles to diffrent ssi and they will show up on that page just like on this site.

To learn some more about ssi, please read this

I just used a php article set as featured and used heml divs and mofified ssi and a few other tidbits and came out neat looking to start.
