Go to ...

Admin ---> Tiny Portal settings --> Front page

There you will find the option to display posts from a specific board

As for download manager, it is built in, just click...

Admin --> Download Manager
and its settings can be found there.

As for displaying news threads, you will have to create a news board and use something like this to display it.

--edit, you beat me Aku but I'm posting anyway.

Your english is fine. But we also have a dutch forum if you'd like to post there.

http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?board=93.0

Take a look in the Admin panel > TinyPortal > Settings > Frontpage. There are a lot of options to choose from. You can choose "what" to show on the frontpage. You can have it be news that automatically pulls topics from the boards that you want (you specify which boards). You can have a combination of News from boards and Articles. You can use just blocks on your front page. There are a lot of options built in that you just need to explore so you can see how things work.

Download manager is built into TinyPortal. If you don't see it, its because it is not turned on. Admin panel > TinyPortal > Settings > Modules

Thanks for the fast response, i will take a look,

-but can you just select forum items you want to show @ the frontpage ?

Edit: i am using SMF 1.1.2.. this version fully compatible with  Tinyportal 0.97.right?

[akulion]

yes you will be able to show news item on the front page from certain boards which you select

the current version of TP will not install on SMF 1.1.2, but its just a minor issue and soon when tp098 comes out it will be compatible

i first installed 1.1.1 of SMF, then i installed 0.97 version of TP then I updated to 1.1.2 version of SMF but it gives some weird results, many option don't work :S
this site is already using the 0.98 version of tinyportal, when is the public release?

[akulion]

it is in testing and everything is going smoothly
so as soon as bloc decides, we should have it
but cant say exactly when, hopefully soon

[IchBin]

I already posted the updated package for TP 0.9.7 to work in SMF 1.1.2 in the installation board.

[Kwastie]

  just deleted my forum, I will reinstall it, again
if installed it /forum/ @ my website, but with TP you can just install at home Dir

[Kwastie]

so what is best thing to do? to install 1.1.2 or 1.1.1 version of SMF?
