Title: Adding portal
Post by: Paul on March 28, 2012, 07:24:55 AM
Here is a simple guide to adding the portal to your forum.

Your index page currently looks similar to this
(http://thumbnails47.imagebam.com/18196/e1ff41181954681.jpg) (http://www.imagebam.com/image/e1ff41181954681)

scroll to the foot of the page and click admin cp

ACP > GENERAL > EXTRA SETTINGS

find the stargate portal info and click yes > press submit

now go to the STARGATE PORTAL tab

click enable block > submit

(http://thumbnails27.imagebam.com/18196/0aed6d181954661.jpg) (http://www.imagebam.com/image/0aed6d181954661)

you will notice in the top right Admin index • Portal • Forum

click on portal ........you should now see  (http://thumbnails26.imagebam.com/18196/ca540e181954632.jpg) (http://www.imagebam.com/image/ca540e181954632)

in the site navigator box you can click on forum.......you should now see (http://thumbnails47.imagebam.com/18196/8e4728181954648.jpg) (http://www.imagebam.com/image/8e4728181954648)


If that worked you have successfully added the portal :smiley-cool:


You can now manage the blocks and how they display to suit your needs

ACP > STARGATE PORTAL > Blocks / manage blocks

(http://thumbnails6.imagebam.com/18196/a4e89f181954615.jpg) (http://www.imagebam.com/image/a4e89f181954615)

Click on the green edit icon to make edits
It is advised you DO NOT delete these blocks, if you don't want them showing click on No where it say's block is active

It is possible but it's down to tanduy/ his boss if it is done here.

Personally I would not do it myself as there was talk that subsilver may not be included in the next release of phpBB version 3.1. by the phpBB team.

I think there would be many :furious: admin owners who have got used to subsilver if it does happen.

Oh,

You already used PHP-Nuke?
What's wrong with Subsilver style?
I really don't know so much about our portal :smiley-laughing:
It is installed before I work for our support forum.
I'll check them again.
