TinyPortal

I tried to use the news block in TP but news fader won't work.

Please help....

I am using:
SMF 1.1.9
TP v.1.05

Hi wulbs,

Welcome to the TP Support Site.

The code below in a php block should work fine for every version of TinyPortal up to and including TP 1.0 beta 4.  It may or may not work with the latest SMF and TP (haven't tried it).  This snippet is located somewhere in our Bloc Code Snippets board, probably in a couple of places, so you probably could have found it by doing a search.

thanks for the quick reply...I will try this now.

Hi ZarPrime,

I put the the code that you gave to a php block but I doesn't work.

Can you teach me how to use the code that you gave?

Please help. thanks

is this code show random news?

It displays the news the same way that SMF does.
