In this section i plan to put up the releases of Tinyportal for you to try out and comment if you like. I can't promise "nightly builds" ;D, but will try to update as soon as something changes.
All releases will be kept here , so if any serious issues arise, we can go back to previous versions easily. Releases that change the sql tables are a bit special, there is more to just replacing the files there...but I don't see any need for the tables to change yet. They are very general and be used for several things , making it quite easy to simply replace source/template files as things progress.
I have set up a group for you, so no-one else should be able to peak in here. ;)
This will make it easier for me to get to the errors, since not all of them show up on my limited local server.Thanks for helping out on this. :)
Well I will expect nightly builds from here on out. :P This sounds like fun, and I look forward to it.
I also look forward to helping to identify sone errors you did not encounter in your testing.
Did you notice the XHTML link shows errors on this page, and in my own forums?
yes, I haven't got around to that yet. Themis is valid, but the extra code from blocks probably are not....same with the default theme I guess.
I mostly concenstrated on Helios theme. Which I can make sure what will happens on Helios and Tiny-Portal.
I will try other themes as well as Mercury looks attractive to me too.
TP testing is almost stable at my side and I've put up everthing to normal use now. Since the site is a closed membership purpose, I can only provide a test account for who are interested to take a look at my work. And I hope I can help improving the TP project.

I also mostly use Helios theme with TP -- but will set up another SQL data base to test the others
i was planning on making my own theme's to integrate with TP but am first waiting more stable and finishing releases, that's why i am hoping to help wit htesting it and learning more about it ;)
btw if u want i can make a dutch translation 8)
I can sure need translations, Zvert. :)
I will let you know when all the strings are "drawn" out of source code and into the language files.
I can help with traditional Chinese translation, if I can be instructed with what needs to be translated.
Thanks for allowing me to learn here.I just loaded up5.0beta with the new Ceberus and it went together like noting.No problems what so ever.Thanks bloc.
I changed my post! I am running the last beta on my test site. What kind of things are we looking at testing? I have already used some mod's without issue.
I think the first thing that need to test with fresh installed smf is how well TP v0.5 can uninstall it safely.

Well, I can pretty much confirm that TP0.5b does NOT uninstall correctly, even with a fresh SMF installation. I just tried to take it off someone's site who has decided to go with Mambo... and it actually required a reload of the SFM datafiles to get TinyPortal uninstalled cortrectly... (and without the correct uninstall, it gave all sorts of errors)
This is what i need to get working properly ASAP...
One thing, what was the version of SMF on that installation?
What mostly is the main reasons, or problems when a faulty un-install happens,are:
- Template files still looking for missing TP source files, or modified SMF files. Possible solution: Making the template test for presence of those. in case of negative alarm the admin user with a message, but not wrecking the forum.
- Datatables are un-installed, but not the files. Possible solution: same as above.
- Template is missing, source files still present....This one is trickier, since TP can run without a tp adjusted template.The forum works per se, but show the frontpage instead of the forum index.
I just installed/un-installed TinyPortal v.0.5 with no problems. Although, when the uninstall was complete, SMF gave the error message " You do not have permission to access the requested files" Yet, TP did uninstall.
This was a totally clean, new installation of SMF v1.0.2
Tiny portal was the only mod, and no themes were added.
Will try again with some themes added and selected.
I had the exact same results as BOB. Everything uninstalled fine, only the permission error. But it still uninstalled fine.
