Similar pages like Show 50

[vas]

When I click the "Show 50 Latest" in the shout box, it opens a new page with right and left panels and shows 50 latest shouts. This created a curiosity whether similar pages can be created with that technique to dispaly say RSS feed like I have shown in my web site.

Basically my website uses a ch moded phpbb2 and uses ezportal. I have created extra portal pages like f1news.php with f1news_body.tpl, world.php with world_body.tpl etc., I am planning to migrate to SMF and doing some test runs with SMF.

I understood creating .php type is bit complex, I wondered whether the "Show 50" type action  could be utilized to show RSS feeds, custom desined htmls etc., The url can be then displayed in the menu bar for access.

If it is possible can some one help with the codes / files required to be dublicated / changed. Thanks.

My web portal dublications can be found at

Why on earth are you asking us here on helping with EZ portal and phpbb ??

If you want functions for EZ portal, i will ask you to ask there for them to help you with your ideas.

They are not asking about those things G6. They are asking if it's possible to port their things from phpbb/ezportal to SMF/TinyPortal. Which would be a yes. Although, I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Can you explain exactly what you'd like to do vas?

You would just need a php article that displays 50 RSS feeds. The issue really is where the 50 RSS feeds would come from.

Sorry If my post did not give you a clear idea. IchBin clarified it. And Thanks to him.

To be exact, it is  a custom page where I can embed a HTML or a php or just a RSS Feed.

Thanks JPDeni. The RSS Feed will be from a website like dna site which is given below.

Most certainly then. You can use an RSS feed block to munge a feed into it. Or if you know how to code yourself, you could code some PHP into an article to read a feed.

What I meant is Custom Pages feature like I found in one of the portals of SMF which they have introduced the feature in their very recent RC version. In that I felt I can use as many pages to put any HTML, Javascript or PHP codes.

Articles are pages, only more versatile.

... speaking to the 'pages' part of the topic:

Not knowing which portal you are referring too this is only a guess, but I would have to say that the TinyPortal article system is lots better.
If the portal you speak of has written their own 'article system' that's good, but I doubt that it's feature set is as well developed as the system TP has in place... I've tried most of the portals available (although not for a couple of months now) and while some work well none are at a pace with TinyPortal.

Exactly so. :up:

And, speaking of lots of pages; my live site has several hundred pages, many of them made using the TP article system. Some are 'single' or stand alone articles, but many are setup as a series with sub-articles under a main article that is set to give access to the sub-articles, as in this example:

You must make your own decisions for you site of course, but for me the TP article system is the best way to go for extra pages.

I will have a look at your site. Thanks.
