Title: Tiny portal as a standalone instalation
Post by: Denied on February 08, 2009, 09:21:52 PM
i have two pages:

1.www.mydomain.com               / smf+tiny portal
2.www.mydomain.com/portal    /smf+tiny portal


Ok..here it is..in first page i want to use tiny portal blocks to make a web page ..:)..it is so easy to make a web page with tp. .The point is how to hide the smf forum..the login..and all the butons..and stuff..and leave only the tp blocks ..and..how to login to manage those blocks? i`m not sure if i`ve want to use a bridge for users.

TP is a mod for SMF, and cannot be installed as a standalone software, it must be installed to the same dir where you have your SMF installed to

my guess is you want to:
a) remove the forum link from the tabs.
and
b) stop the action=forum function from working.

There would be a lot to take out of the index.template.php file of your theme

You would probably do best to start with going to the login page and saving that page as a favorite in your browser so you can access it later if you need it.

Then start taking stuff out that you do don't want to appear on your site.

Thanks JPDeni...it`s working..i`ve removed everything from smf..in fact..the only thing thats remain..it is just the TP :)..the admin login it`s working as you describes :)Now I`ve got the easy way to manage the first page of a portal.
I`ve messed up the css file/ index template of a theme to get the job done.

Maybe..some one..some time..could make a theme..which to do exactly this.

You will also have some issues with other SMF functions for topics, boards, stats, etc. referenced through the URL variables.

And, I would think that such a request would be beyond the scope of a theme, especially one to be recognized officially through SMF. Not that it couldn't be done...

Yes..you got a good point..this is why i did  not post the theme and the modified files.I`ve studied other softwares which can do fine as a portal..it was my decision that this way is the best for my.However..all the copyrights will remain there..with or without a forum.
Maybe my case is rare..this is the future structure of my site:

  .www.mydomain.com           -Tiny portal + disabled smf forum (don`t need one..no use of smf..it`s just the starter page for the other sections)
   www.mydomain.com/etc     -Tiny portal + smf forum 
   www.mydomain.com/etc     -Tiny portal + smf forum
   www.mydomain.com/etc     -Tiny portal + smf forum
   etc..

My problem is resolved.
