Can I convert a existing website with SMF to Tiny Portal

[comanchero18]

Got it all to work but then my boards disappeared when I switched the theme to HM. Don't know how to get them back.  Uninstalled TP but it left itself in place.  All my boards are showing up in Admin. Is there a way I can get it to look like the default with the HM theme?   Looks like TP won't go away.

This is the message I get when I click admin on the home page.

This block should be visible for admins only - no membergroups are set to be allowed to view it. As default new blocks will have all membergroups and guests checked.

You want TP, you need TP.

I think what you've done is downloaded the theme that is for SMF, not TP (?).

Make sure TP is installed and working properly. Switch to "SMF Default Theme - Core" and get TP to work properly.

Then try this theme, which is for TP (1.1 RC2):

TP works ok but I wanted the default look with the block on one side.

Like the way this page looks when click forum.  I wanted the Helios Multicolor with blocks, I had HM without blocks.  How can I remove TP and put blocks in to HM? or is that a different forum?

No, you don't need to remove TP, you need to keep TP.

Often times when someone can't see the blocks it's because they installed the theme that was designed for SMF only and not TP. This site has some of the same themes for both SMF and TP and if you install the SMF theme in TP, it won't show / work properly.

So, assuming that's what you did, you should probably uninstall the Helios Multi that you installed and install this one, instead:

http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item82

Do that, and you should see the blocks.

That worked, thank you. Now could you please help me to get my boards to show on my home page?

ADMIN >> TinyPortal >> Settings >> FRONTPAGE >> What to show on frontpage:

Play around with those until you find what you want.

Glad to help.

it's the forum thats not showing up unless you go to a recent post then click the fourn link.  It was on my home page before I did all this.
