Hi,

New guy here, hello everyone!

Need some help. I like the Tinyportal.net front page layout but I cannot seem to replicate it on my site. I'd like to have my intro text on the left with no frame (like tinyportal.co.uk has) and to the right of it I'd like to have two boxes; one with most recent post headers (only) and underneath it Theme Club News box. Also how do you add pages to the the front page? Like Tinyportal.net has where you can click on Page 2 to see Who Are We page?

I've been twiddling with the TP settings for couple hours and cannot replicate the layout that is used on this site. Please help!

Hi,

I looked at one of the tutorials which says you need to add <?php require("/path/to/forum/SSI.php"); ?> to every page where you want to use SSI code. But what it does not say is HOW to add it to every page. Are we talking about editing the files from the server directly (or creating new ones) or do I edit existing ones under TP admin somehow? Very confusing.

Same question would apply to your snippet:

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>

<body>
<!--#include virtual="./SSI.php?ssi_function=recentPosts" -->
</body>

</html>

Where exactly is it going and how do you add it to a page. Then how do you execute it so it shows on my front page?

thanks

jake

Actually..TP frontpage is just 3 articles. :) The first being the left one, set as featured. Then 2 more , both set to "show on frontpage". Newest is a php article where I call recent posts function from SSI.php, no need for require('SSI.php') btw - its already loaded by TP. The last article is normal html one. Finally you need to use option C for the layout of frontpage articles. Also, having the featured article without a frame or title helps set it off from the other two.

Was this understandable? :)

What is the difference beteen frontpage  layout a and b.??


I know the B-man is busy, but those sample pages would be helpfull. Trial and error will work in the meantime,but I think that if people could see hown they could make tp look it would be beneficial.

I really have no clue as to what the different layouts do.....I change them and it never changes the look.

The way it is set up in admin frontpage is a little confusing. I think it would be better if there was more than 1 representative article[red box] showing in each example.That would give a better Idea of what you will get if you choose it.. ;).
