Ok so i got my site up and running with tinyporal.
check it out: http://sputnikradio.com
anyways here are a few things i want to do but don't even know the right terminology to do a proper search for it. Perhaps someone can give me a pointer or a link to where i can do these things.
Ok heres some things i want to do:
1. I want to have more than the just main index page and the forums pages. Say for instance i want a navigation block on my left panel that has say 5 links to other pages . For instance say i want a page that sells bumper stickers and tshirts i call it my shopping page. On this navigation menu i have a link that takes me to this page . Normally i know how to make links and pages using dreamweeaver. But what im asking is this "shopping" page is a page like my index page. Same themes same ability to put blocks on it etc. I guess what im asking is how do i make my tiny portal more in depth ??? more levels of pages instead of the just one main page and the forums.?????
2. If you looked at my page you will see the logo up top and then a little red rectangle image on the upper right. It is the "musicona" theme. Anyway what I want to do is have flash files there instead of those jpegs. SAME SIZE and everything just instead of it being a jpeg image I want to replace it with a custom flash file that i am working on.???????
3. I want a photo gallery where "registered users" can upload images and have each user with their own personal image gallery . And these images can be viewed by guest or voted on by members. I also want to be able to put these in blocks on any page of my choosing as well. Example " Top voted Image" appears in block on main page etc. I have noticed some talk of coppermine and some other image gallery that SMF uses however I am unsure what is a good and easy fit for tiny portal without a lot of hassle. I just don't want to waste my time messing around with a lot of crap that might not be right for me . That is why i am asking you pros to guide me on this .... Whats best for what i want?????? it is important that NO MATTER WHAT I DO ...that my theme wraps around everything also. I don't want to spend a lot of time messing with css files and themes.
4. I want to put RSS feeds from various Sources of like the latest Dance Music News or latest club charts etc. I have found a few RSS feed sources but I have no idea what i need to do to put this text feeds into a block ......Any help there would be greatly appreciated.
If I think of any more questions I will post them in this thread so that I do not make to many threads on the board.
If you can answer any of these questions and have knowledge about any of these questions please respond to me by using the NUMBER Of the Question before your response.
Thank you and I greatly appreciate all the help I have gotten so far from some of you .
Peace. :2funny:
I suggest you make a cup of tea, sit back, relax, and look at this All you want in one place (http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?action=search)
Quotedon't even know the right terminology to do a proper search for it
What i am looking for is someone who has the confidence of knowledge to direct me and inform me of the best and easiest way. You cannot find that with the search feature. I have used the search feature for many things and have found it usefull. Howerver at this point it would be alot more effecient to not have to wade through a vast quagmire of information just to read about a bunch of stuff Im not familiar with . The problem with the search feature in this case is I spend hours reading people talking about all kinds of stuff . I just want the facts.
I appreciated your comment however it doesnt really offer me any insight that I am not already aware of.
peace.
for example G6...
How exactly do i search for the answer to question number 1?
do i type in "more than one page"???
you where im struggling here?
I use the search feature when i know what im searching for.
in this post im asking just for some knowedgable person to consult me on what i "should" do. I will go do all necessary searches for what I "should" do when i figure it out.
peace
No you read the docs, read in the forums, do searches until you find a way to get your forum the way you want.
We do not build your site, you have to do that part by your self, and the search is a great thing to use if you want info (multiple pages) is one, (arcade) an other, so you will have a lot of reading, testing and exploring to do.
So start with the docs and faq, then you can look in the block code and snippets board, then you have to explore your way through with help from the search.
I can PROMISSE you, that all the answers are there and answerd to allready, and in a lot of places to, so to get what you want would not be any problem for you at all.
Thanks again for your input. I've been making websites for 10 years now. Im not a noob . I just wanted the straight dope about a few specifics. I really don't think that is too much to ask.
I have been to snippits . Where do you think I found the shoutcast block?
anyways thanks again
If anyone else is intrested in supplying me with expert advice about a few specific questions please PM me. I wont bother you anymore.
Try "Article" for number 1 ;) 8)
Answer is given, so this thread is now locked.
ahhhh. cool
didnt think of it like that
hmmm yeah .....you see now we are getting somewhere?
thanks.
just to think i made a donation to G6 and this is how i get tossed around.
#3 try smf gallery
#4 you may want to look into the block code snippets, there are a few things in there about RSS.
A donation made to me as a person have nothing to do with how we do things in here.
And im sorry you feel like im kicking on you now, but I would have given this answer to anyone with this kind of post, as this is the best answer we can give you.
Welcome to our bank of TP knowlage, we can support your account, but we cant open your wault, you have to do that your self.

so you think smf gallery will work better than anything else? pretty seamless with tinyporal and all?
Yes I think SMF Gallery would do the trick
