Title: Blocks beside forum
Post by: insomnia07 on November 15, 2008, 04:57:44 PM: I'd like to have blocks on the left side and near to it - my forum view just like on simpleportal.net website when somebody clicks FORUM button. How can I do it?

Post by: Nathaniel on November 15, 2008, 05:26:58 PM: That is a feature that will be added to the 2.1 version of SimplePortal, we are currently work on it. :)

Post by: insomnia07 on November 15, 2008, 05:35:22 PM: Ok, thanks for reply. When the new 2.1 version will be available (approximately)?

Post by: Nathaniel on November 15, 2008, 05:42:49 PM: When its done. We don't generally give out approximate timeframes because it puts too much pressure on the Devs, if we decide that it needs to be delayed then there is usually a reason. ;)

However, we are getting very close to finishing it. :D

Post by: jsdoyle on November 18, 2008, 12:36:33 PM: I just wanted to commend you guys for producing a really nice Portal! I installed the latest version last night with minimal issues.

SMF 2.0 beta 3.1 with SP 2.05. Beta on Beta! I'm amazed at how stable this version of SMF is and being able to incorporate SP into it so easily was great.

I'm looking forward to the soon to be released 2.1 version! I want my forum wrapped with SP!

Thanks,

Scott

thanks

Post by: Nathaniel on November 18, 2008, 11:46:54 PM: You will be able to switch to SimplePortal 2.1 from SP 2.0.5. It will involve uninstalling SimplePortal 2.0.5 and then installing SimplePortal 2.1, all of the database information will be updated by the SimplePortal 2.1 installer. :)

Post by: djrey on November 18, 2008, 11:58:12 PM: That is good to know thank you ;D
Title: Re: Blocks beside forum
Post by: jsdoyle on November 19, 2008, 08:56:56 AM: When you say we will have to uninstall 2.05 will that mean the settings will be removed too? Will I have to recreate the layout of the blocks, etc?

Not that it's that big of a deal. But, since we are talking betas here it would be nice for a simple upgrade from one to the other.

I guess the code has changed considerably then?
