Thanks so much, Bloc and everyone else who helps out on this project!!

WARNING: If you use Bloc's 'Last shout' center block code and upgrade to TP .8x, your board will totally bomb! You MUST disable this block and make an edit to it after you upgrade or your pages will not load at all.

I spent freaking HOURS trying to find out why every time I installed TP 8 my board would come up with the dred server or DNS error and couldn't load a page. Won't bore you with the step it took to troubleshoot it, but needless to say a total novice wouldn't have been able to address it.

If you use this code, once you finish your update go to the code for that block and change this:

Code Select Expand

$tp_prefix = 'tportal_';


to this:

Code Select Expand

$tp_prefix = 'smf_tp_';


I wonder how many other block snippets have references to the old TP prefix block. I'd imagin they all need updating or users will get confused fast.

hello, i install the tp but only the regular members have acess the other not, i check the permissions but i dont see anything for give them permission.

the regular members can go forum and them click home and can see the tp complete, the other members only see the center msg and nothing else, how can be?

Thanks for letting me know, WizardHawk. I will go through them.

sodeborla, "ungrouped members" are normal members with no special membergroup setting. If your members DO have a membergroup, they are no longer "ungrouped". Check the groups they belong to as well.

Check the topic again, I have updated the code slightly. It should work fine, I tried it here just now.

Hi Bloc,

After a view days I have all up and running. Installing was no problem, but the new stuff I saw took a long time to figure out. Still one thing isn't working here, the newsfeed, but I will find out why

Thanks for the good job together with the team. I enjoy the portal together with RC2.

For a look, I'm sorry it is in Dutch, you're welcome at:

Keep up the goodies,

Hi,

I have this problem:

After I ran tp_install.php

I got this error

Install / Upgrade TinyPortal v0.8.6beta

Warning: mysql_query(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/content/a/b/c/myname/html/smf/tp_install.php on line 16

It goes from line 16 to line 439

After that I got this message:

TinyPortalÂÃ,´s table structure is now installed/updated.
Please restart your forum to see the changes.

And when I press on start I return back to the forum but nothing happens.

Any ideas, help on what is going wrong?

Thank you,
