Can you provide a little more detail?  From the link you  posted it does not look like they are using the front page option.  But to set up the blocks (and I am assuming you have TP installed) you can do that threw your admin panel  under the tiny portal section look for manage blocks.  The blocks displayed on that site are left blocks.   I would also recommend checking out the docs section  http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?board=85.0  To more familiarize yourself with how tiny portal works

Admin/TinyPortal/Settings/Frontpage

Set the What to show on front page to " Go directly to forum index"

Blocks to the left hand side

Admin/TinyPortal/Panels
Set show left hand blocks only to ON, and the others to OFF

Then you place your blocks in
Admin/TinyPortal/Block Manager/ to the left hand side and it will look the same as on the site you pointed to. A forum only with blocks to the left side of it.

Thats because you still have the right site and center still set to ON in the Panels settings.
You have to use the LEFT side ONLY.

Panels my friend.

Admin/TinyPortal/Settings/Panels/

This is what you have to set to OFF

Use right panel: [on] [off]   Check to OFF (you have it set to on in the screenshot.)

any ideas?
Title: Re: how do i show board on index with sidebars?
Post by: G6Cad on May 07, 2007, 12:55:33 PM
A matter of fact i do.
As you are not running on a TP theme your site will look the way it does.
You need to have a TP version of the theme to get TP to show.

Another note.
The copywrite for the theme author of Musiconica theme you are running on your forum needs to be put back in.
That theme is NOT copywrited by you or your site as it's a free theme and the theme author of it owns the copywrite.
Please put the theme authors copywrite back in the footer.

ok sorry a member of mine submitted that theme originally just for his default but i decided to use it. i was going to switch to that orange one after i got TP working anyways.

so i switched it to a TP theme and it still seems to not be working.

I don't see TP even installed at your site.

Set your forum to use the SMF Default Core theme and English language (Default settings)
Delete all themes exept Default, Babylon and Classic from your theme folder.
Then trough FTP delete the theme folders (except the same i named)

When you have done this, please post back and we go from there.

ok it works on the default theme. what do i do to get it to work with every other one
Title: Re: how do i show board on index with sidebars?
Post by: G6Cad on May 08, 2007, 09:50:54 AM
Do as i said and we take it from there, Delete all the other themes except the SMF default package themes.

When you have done that (also REMOVED the folders through FTP) you find and install the TP theme versions as we have said 3 times in this thread alone now.
