Topic: Is this Possible?

[SteveFJ]

Hi,
I would like to add articles as content to Simple Portal as individual pages. By articles I don't mean topics from the forum, but separate articles in their own right. If so how, as there doesn't appear to be any way of actually publishing the pages?

I'm using SMF RC2 and the latest SP

Many thanks, and most appreciated.

Moved to the Custom Coding board.

What are you using to for these articles? Another mod, or are you adding your own pages?

Hi Nathaniel. Thank you for replying. I'm hoping to add my own pages.

Okay, I think that this will do what you want. Put the code below into a Custom PHP block, probably in the bottom side. It will display the page index.

Code: [Select]

global $scripturl, $modSettings, $context;

$pages = array(
'page1',
'page2',
'page3',
'page4',
);

echo 'Page [ <a href="', $modSettings['sp_portal_mode'] == 3 && empty($context['disable_sp']) ? $modSettings['sp_standalone_url'] : $scripturl, '">', empty($_GET['page']) || !in_array($_GET['page'], $pages) ? '<b>1</b>' : '1', '</a> ';

$i = 2;
foreach ($pages as $page)
echo '<a href="', $scripturl, '?page=', $page, '">', !empty($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] == $page ? '<b>' . $i++ . '</b>' : $i++, '</a> ';

echo ']';
You might want to disable the title, body and set the body's style so that the text is aligned to the center.

The index in that block serves as an index of SimplePortal Custom Pages, so you will have to create new custom pages as required. The $pages array is an array of page ids that will be used to create the index, you will need to change that array as required, depending on the ids that you have given to your Custom Pages.

The '1' page is always the normal portal page, so that could also have your articles displayed there.

To get the best effect, you will have to make sure that all your blocks that display on the portal, also display on each page that will be a part of the index.

Thanks Nathaniel. I'll try that, and will come with the result.

Interesting.
It works but page 2 shows an error, but page 2 loads as page 3 and page 3 loads as page 4.

This is sorted. The problem was in the way I was numbering the pages.

Thanks very much Nathaniel. Most Appreciated.
