Description and Message
Please excuse me i am a beginner but.....................

I have just installed Phpbb3 on my website with the ca_gen2 theme. I wanted a portal on my site and saw this topic which looked the right one. I have board version 3.0.6

My questions are:
1. Can I download the latest version Board3 Portal 1.0.4 and install that or do I need to start from 1.0.1 then 1.0.2 etc?
2. In red (below ) you will see folders called portal. Do I just drop the portal folder in there from download package 1.0.4?

As first you need to download and install this Style. If it works, you can install the Portal for this Style as per description:
(please copy this files from our B3P download package)

copy: root/styles/prosilver/template/portal/*.*
to: styles/ca_gen2/template/portal/*.*
copy: root/styles/prosilver/template/portal/block/*.*
to: styles/ca_gen2/template/portal/block/*.*
copy: root/styles/prosilver/theme/portal.css
to: styles/ca_gen2/theme/portal.css
copy: root/styles/prosilver/theme/images/portal/*.*
to: styles/ca_gen2/theme/images/portal/*.*

**Edit >>> Uploaded the 1.0.4 and accessed the .MOD tab it works OK. All I need now is to know where I obtain the Portal folder in red that is inside teh ca_gen2 folder as I dont have one it.

As first you have to install the portal. Of course you can use 1.0.4 if it is your first time. If your are ready you can install the portal for your Style (ca_gen2) by using the guide.
So the answer to your second question ist yes
Copy the whole portal folder into that place. The same with the portal.css...

Thanks Mike....My Fingers crossed now I will have a go...

[everton1995]

Im not sure about this Mike...I donk have the block config >>> styles/ca_gen2/template/portal/_block_config.html

Something is not right as it was not in the portal folder from 1.0.4 that you said to drop into the ca_gen2 folder

[Mike]

Why not? YOu should copy it in the first part of install guide...

[everton1995]

Its ok Mike, I'm sorted... http://www.samm.org.uk/support/

I'm trying to figure out why I cant use [center] tabs in the welcome message...

[Mike]

Your forget to include portal.css into stylesheet.css. If you do so, you will have a better looking menu.(clear caches after that)

BBcodes in the welcome box is a little bit strange. It seems that it dont work there

[everton1995]

lol your right Mike....

Code: Select all

@import url("common.css");
@import url("links.css");
@import url("content.css");
@import url("buttons.css");
@import url("cp.css");
@import url("forms.css");
@import url("post.css");
@import url("blocks.css");
@import url("tweaks.css");
@import url("colours.css");
@import url("colours.css");
