Pages...?

[QueenTiye]

Are we able to add pages to our sites by way of the portal?

In other words - at present, the portal wraps around an SMF forum. Which is awesome.  BUT - is it possible to have totally unique page that can be integrated with the portal?

Here's what I'd like to have: I'd like to have a big blank page with a giant "iFrame" on it - into which external websites would open.  I finally got my scrolling links working (Thanks JP! ) so this is stage two, if you will.

That's what articles are for. You can put an iframe in an html article.

Right - but can the article be anywhere but on the front page?  Like - can I create a back page?

What is a backpage? What do you mean by anywhere? If you assign a single article to your frontpage, you can control what content is shown in that article, as well as where it is displayed in the article.

The article can be on the front page or not, as you wish. There is a place to select whether you want the article to be on the front page or not.

Take a look at my site.

Front page -- http://www.morethanspike.com/index.php

Biography -- http://www.morethanspike.com/index.php?page=4

A listing of articles in a category -- http://www.morethanspike.com/index.php?cat=35 (to read each one, click the "More..." link

A javascript game -- http://www.morethanspike.com/index.php?page=19

A php article, which uses information from Custom Profile fields -- http://www.morethanspike.com/index.php?page=29

And on and on and on. You can do just about anything with articles.

IchBin:  Sorry to offend your sensibilities with my nonsensical terms.  I was trying to convey a particular idea, and being not quite knowledgeable, I did it poorly.

JP Deni: Thank you!  First of all - love your site!  I'm not Whedon-er, nor even a Spike fan (one of the few who never did and never will watch Buffy), but James Marsters showed up on my beloved Andromeda as a guest, and was simply wonderful.   (And fans of Buffy AND Andromeda were overjoyed!)  Second - yes, you got to the heart of what I was trying to say.  I'm going to play with articles and see if I can make them act as additional pages as you've shown on your site.

Cool! :-D We'll be glad to help out.

(BTW, there was a special event back in 2006 with both James Marsters and Kevin Sorbo. Kevin is a very nice man. :-) )
