Title: Questions On Installing TP on my forum
Post by: ga_angel on May 23, 2008, 03:44:05 AM
My forum is on smf 1.1.5 default theme. Can I install TP through my package manager? If for some reason I need to uninstall; can I do that through the package manager? Where do I edit content for TP?  I'm wanting sorta like a front page to my forum. I can do this with TP,right?  The rest of my forum will still look the same,right? Sorry to ask so many questions. But I just don't want to mess up my forum. My members would shoot me. lol I've only had my forum for just a little less than a year. So I'm still learning.

QuoteCan I install TP through my package manager?

Probably. Most people can.

If you can install it, more than likely you should be able to uninstall it. So, again, the answer is "probably."

QuoteWhere do I edit content for TP?

Within the admin area. There are forms where you can put html, bbc, or php code, as well as pre-defined blocks to use.

QuoteI'm wanting sorta like a front page to my forum. I can do this with TP,right?

Right

QuoteThe rest of my forum will still look the same,right?

Right.

My strong suggestion is to create a separate folder in your webspace, with a separate database, and install another instance of SMF there. Then install TP on your separate forum to check it out and play with it to your heart's content.
