The SimplePortal Team is now celebrating the long awaited release of SimplePortal 2.3! The build up to this release has been long and we would like to thank our many dedicated supporters for their patience and continued support during the development of this version. The SimplePortal Team is as excited as you are by this release. We hope that you enjoy using it!
What's new?
Custom Pages
Our new version of SimplePortal comes with the new custom pages feature. With this feature you can create custom BBC, HTML and PHP pages, building a website around your forum. These pages have an advanced permission system, as well as the ability to quickly swap between page types. You can also set a unique search engine friendly page id for each page, which can be used to access the page instead of numeric ids.
Shoutboxes
One of the most popular feature requests that we have received is the shoutbox block. The SimplePortal Development Team has recognized this by creating the shoutbox block and extending it beyond the original requests, as usual, including an advanced but easy to use shoutboxe feature. Now you will be able to create an unlimited number of full AJAX shoutboxes for your forum. You can limit the usuable BBC tags in each shoutbox, put a nice warning above it, set custom permissions, and make it automatically refresh based on a set interval.
And more...
Apart from the two main features, there have been great improvements to the architecture of SimplePortal which will allow us include modules more quickly, making it easier for you to customize your portal. In addition, a new block, Top Member Stats, was added and some blocks were improved. Of course, this version fixes all the bugs reported from the 2.2.2 version as well!
Download SimplePortal 2.3 Now!
- from The official SMF Mod site (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1104).
- or from Our very own SimplePortal downloads area (http://simpleportal.net/index.php?action=downloads).
Upgrading from older versions
There has been a large development jump with many code and feature changes. Because of this, you will have to uninstall older versions of SimplePortal, if you have any installed. None of your SimplePortal data will be lost from SimplePortal 2.x versions, as the uninstall process will preserve your settings, blocks and articles.
Three easy steps to upgrade your portal!- Uninstall your old version of SimplePortal.
- Download SimplePortal 2.3 from one of the download locations above.
- Install SimplePortal 2.3, and you are ready to go!
What's in store for the future?
In the next versions of SimplePortal, the main focus will be on creating a complete article system and improving our block system. Since this version turns SimplePortal into a more modular structure, you can expect more features in the near future.
Thanks for reading! We hope that you enjoy using SimplePortal as much as we continue to enjoy creating and supporting it!

Sinan i have to really appreciate your involvement in this project since the birth.

Congratulations on the release. :)

Yet again, superb uninstall and install on a multi-mod and heavily customised site. Pages are great (and don't conflict with Bakers Dozen or Custom Pages mods so I have the time to transfer them across and then turn off the mods). Just need those articles to replace SMF Articles and you have corned the major mod market!
Apologies for limited beta testing. Must do better next time - hopefully work won't get in the way.

Thank you all for the kind words. However, it wouldn't be fair for me to take all the thanks to myself. We have been a team since 2.0 version and most of what you see now wouldn't be possible without them.

Nice update. Unfortunately it removed "Users online taday"
Is there a fix for this?
I thought the same thing at first. It seems to uncheck the option to show 'online today' in the settings for the users online block. Just re-check it.
