What do you want to see in TP?

I dont understand, well MKPortal is a Portal, not used in the VIA Package Manager, but it has 18 awards...
Best Portal System 2008
Best Portal System 2007
Worlds Best CMS Portal for Forums
Wordpress Approved
etc... We could beat that if we add the Items that I listed earlier.

i'd like to see the frontpage settings be applied to normal pages in TP1.0.  like how you can set certain topics to be displayed in frontpage with avatars.  i would like that settings be applied to pages as well...  i sort of want to create a page which would display a certain board's posts and the avatar of the topic starter just like in the frontpage settings.

Where are all these awards listed..?

To be clear though, its not my goal to have TP become any of these awards - all I want is a useful tool, and while its adequate now, its not quite how I want it. The core is not at its best or most efficient, and any extras will suffer as well.

Personally, having had a look at MKPortal I don't think the integration with SMF is that great.  It's like having two different sites.  Yes you can get the forum to appear within the  Portal, but then you end up having two main navigation menus.  It's looks crap too, sorry lol.

It tries to use the theme you have selected via SMF, but it looks nowhere near as good as a theme made to work specially for SMF+TP.   To me it all looks a bit of a mess.  I can see modifying it to blend in would be a lot of unwanted work.  But anyway, sorry for going off topic.

I think some kind of micro-blogging thing would be okay - like a 'My Page' type thing, without it getting too complicated.

OMG, Bloc, you see those in the news... Year Ceromonial Awards, there different in areas you live... Bloc, tell me what Country, State, Province what ever you live in and Ill search it up on the news and tell you if your in the right area, I go there and see who gets best game awards, etc.



Also, MKPortal has that problem, so what Im saying is that not to have it under something like iframe, MKPortal is a FTP Program and TP is a Package program, so its better, but Im talking about the features it has.. Blog, Wiki, Pages, etc...

blizz-craft if you care to look at the about page you will see where Bloc and some of the team are from

TP works as FTP aswell, you dont HAVE to install as a package if you dont like to.
And why advert that portal softwar so hard on here ? If you like it so much, why not stay out from here and keep using MK instead ?

The award they have seem to be their own, cant find anything on the net from voting it to be a winning award software, it even has less votes the TP on several script listing sites iv'e been to so i guess we also can make a page and say we are an award winning software 

Awards to me are not self thought up pages with "oh darn we are so good and better then anyone else out there" but something you earn by getting peoples votes on various sites that show you have a good or great software.

Quite true..and neither TP nor MKP is known as a "major" portal/CMS software - yet lol.

Anyways, if we keep the "being best" aspect out of it, I very much like TP to be useful as a wiki light, gallery light etc. ...because the strength of it will not be that it can be many things, but that its integrated. Most people don't need a full-blown gallery or blog, and TP with the help of SMF provide the backend for quicker versions. "Tiny" has always been for a reason, even it TP doesn't feel "tiny" anymore, its still true to the idea.

So even when these modules come, they won't be a elaborate as the similar mods - but I'll do my best to make them useful! (or any other developer that dare to start making modules )

I really like some of the things Drupal does - not so much the complex OOP coding style, but the versatility of the software and its modules. Thats a beacon for TP and myself no doubt.

I dont know if its been asked or talked again but the thing im only thinking and its kinda nifty too is to have Article in topics. Meaning that articles show up as topics or at least the commenting in them showed as posts.

I think Vbulletin is like that?

Im pretty sure i have seen something similar in an old topic, dont remember exactly tho  :buck2:

Bloc :or any other developer that dare to start making modules

Is there any guidance anywhere for making modules ?
