Welcome to TP!
If you can see this article, then your TP is installed and working correctly. This mod will expand your forum software with many useful functions and operates on the same memberbase as SMF. In fact it uses many of SMF built-in features and even expand upon them.
...some of the features of TinyPortal includes:
Articles and frontpage
"Articles" are pages within SMF that can contain any html code you want or even PHP code. You can control several visual options such as displaying blocks or not, showing the title and much more. They can be also be categorised.
"Frontpage" refers to the first page you see upon entering your SMF/Tinyportal site. It can work in several different ways: showing blocks, show articles and/or forum topics - or a single page. And if you don't really need a frontpage, you can make it go directly to the forum.
Blocks
"Blocks" refer to the small boxes of information you will find on each side of your TP-driven forum. They can be many different types, the basic ones being just a container for html/javascript code or php code. Shoutbox, RSS feeds, Stats, News are , to just name a few, some of the many different
types you can use.
"Block Code snippets" are pre-made codeblocks you can easily insert in one of your php/html blocks. Many of them expand the portal with even more functions.
Modules
"Modules" are extra sections for Tinyportal that perform a particular function. More are planned for the future, but currently you have these modules:
All in all, these features and more to come, should give you the tools to expand your SMF forum into new realms. Keep an eye on
the roadmap for TP , it shows what is currently being worked on.
- We hope you enjoy TinyPortal!
